I will say it's simple: Right time, right audience. If you manage to hit a nerve at the right moment, you can make it. That's mostly up to luck. Of course, there's more to it. Lord of the Rings was one of it's kind around the time it was written; Harry Potter was special because of the way it...

It was, in fact, the site I was before I came here and on Royal Road. Would never do again and will never advise anyone to do it either.

Heyhey! I kind of stopped writing on my novel for a few months and now try to get back around again. Anyway, it's a fantasy story, but not set in some grand, epic world and scenario. I'm not sure if I'm meeting your standards, which is also why I would put aside the decision of where I would...

Why not?

That sounds a bit hilarious. If I wasn't opposed to heterosexual smut, I would read it.

Found this one. Context: I'm asexual and aromantic. Also, I'm broke, have a runny nose and started at my new company on monday, so I won't get paid anytime soon.

I always feel that way. In fact, it's the biggest reason for hiatus on my stories and the fact that I've never written a second volume of any of my serializations up to this day. It's usually that I feel like I can't do the story I've imagined justice and the longer it takes to write it, the...

I sure can tell you that there's no particular new wheel to be invented anymore. Almost all stories have been told by now and that is okay. The moment you are the one to write it, with your heart and mind in it, it's going to be different from those before you. I'm not saying you should...

Wake up, roll out of bed to drag my ass to work. If I don't have to work, I may not roll out of bed at all. If I do anyway, I might crawl around my flat until I find my laptop. That about sums it up.

As many have said, I find it hard to take out just one line of a story (not even mine, but overall) and read it to someone without a contextual info dump beforehand, because I always feel like it's not going to be as funny if you don't understand what's behind it. :blob_cookie: Other than...

Yeah, there's even a section for "Location" specifically, which is where I put up my Maps. Inkarnate is the best on the market for me. But it's sad to hear you can't use it anymore.

I put it in the Glossary. It's small there, but you just need to click right on the mouse and open it in a new tab to enlarge it. If it was on a different site, I'd maybe put it in a spoiler underneath the Prologue or something.

First and foremost, you need to know where the story is going - know the ending before you begin. If that ending where to change along the way, so be it. It's important that you have that safe haven of knowing where you are going before you start, but if that destination starts deviating, it...

I do write BL, I actually mainly write BL (none of them are written in English though), it just so happened that the story I mainly work on (well, right now I don't work on it, but that's a different matter) is not BL (still has a side pairing that's gay, though insignificant). The two BL...

That is false. We are talking about food, so the culinary definition, and that is vegetable. In fact, there is no botanic definition for vegetables in general, which makes tomatoes a fruit because it falls under the fruit definition. In my language, there's even two specific words for "fruit"...

Language barrier: What counts as veggies in this context? I eat a box of cherrietomatoes almost every day for breakfast until late in the evening when I eat something warm. But when it comes to cooked vegetables, I don't like warm tomatoes (unless they are pureed already), in that case I love...

Got three works in Progress though. They're pretty different as well. For Crazy Daughter of the Duke: Every transmigrator story ever, and a little bit of everything mythologic ever The Crow and the Butterfly: Every Leveling / System story ever, a little bit of everything mythologic ever, but...

Nice one! Thanks for the info.

I do, because it's a shitty computer in a shitty company. I had a small breakdown in between and now that cold I had before and couldn't get rid of hit me back full swing. And that's when I have two job interviews tomorrow, which is the only day I have a feasible chance to even take any, because...

Yeah, that's the thing. You did your job, and I know how smokers are, they need to leave for "a few minutes" at least once every one or two hours. I don't believe your ten minutes actually meant shit, and leaving you alone in the shop was just plain shitty. I don't know how an adult, who thinks...
