    Editing How the Heck Do You Find Motivation to Go Back and Edit Your Chapters?!

    Yeah, shoulda seen when I first rewrote my work. I was horrified by the errors, the inconsistencies, the pacing, etc. Virtually everything, though, I knew I wouldn’t get better if I turn away. So, I went to line one, chapter 1, and began rewriting. I must have rewritten that series about five or...

    Editing How the Heck Do You Find Motivation to Go Back and Edit Your Chapters?!

    I think it is this site. As well as the type of story, depending on where you are. The base can be quite critical. Hell, I once had someone try to get on me for making a very slight mistake. All in all though, there is no doubt a division. If one is willing to take the craft seriously, there is...

    Editing How the Heck Do You Find Motivation to Go Back and Edit Your Chapters?!

    I will be up front. Those willing to take the craft more serious are willing to do what is necessary. Even if it takes a thousand hours if not more, that drive to always improve will keep the person going. To acknowledge your work needs improvement is the first step. Afterwards, visualizing the...

    Just finished Wild Arms XF. Overall, loved the game. It had a really strong Act I to III. Act IV, the mid half was weak I will say, and Act V was okay, the ending made up for the massive mistake they made in Act IV and V. I’d give it more or less roughly an 8/10. The game really gets ya...

    Helping out a friend

    It might be a compatibility issue, since my iPhone works just fine on the site. Even on the worst days. Before coming to this conclusion however, tell them to try two things. 1. Reset their router. 2. Restart their phone. Both of these usually solves the problem. Before restarting the...

    What games to you play to refresh?

    I always try to find something new. Currently playing Wild Arms XF. Aside from the weird battle system they use. It is a challenging game, constantly requiring the right classes for maps. Though, the trickiest part was figuring out how to get the best out of the main. Since their unique class...

    Book Not Going Live?

    I believe this is the right thread for this. Anyway, what is the approximate time that it takes for a book to go live? Before, it maybe took thirty minutes at most. Though, usually it was up in a few minutes. It has been two hours since I posted a new book. Anyone have a scaling on the minimum...

    Unsure what Readers feel

    Yeah, I think we all pretty much make this mistake at first. Hell, I did so when starting off as well. It is a learning experience. Thing is, people have such a vast difference of opinion, that it becomes impossible to please them all. In reality, just focus your time on improving, and finding...

    Unsure what Readers feel

    Yeah, since it is the first major event. Give it time. Thing is from what I noticed. You will know you have hit your base somewhere around the midpoint of a book. By that time, readers are almost certainly there to stay. There will also be little to no complaints. I suppose you can say, the...

    Unsure what Readers feel

    There was a good advice I have been given a long time ago. Someone once told me the same thing, and suggested that I separated dialogues from paragraphs. It was one of the better advice I had gotten. Which really did help to clarify who is speaking, and made the work cleaner to the view...

    Publishing chapters without an outline horrifies me, now.

    Depends how serious the work is taken really. Myself, I have to ensure to have my work accurately planned. Since the elements along with the plot are usually complex. I also don’t release my work until it is completed and have undergone thorough editing. If I am working on a side story. I will...

    Valkyrie Profile 2 is pretty insane with the difficulty. I decided to partially modify my stats, just to get to the end. Yeeeahhh...even with equipping the best stuff to counter the battle. There was still like two ways the boss could pretty much immediately end the fight. Apparently, the game...

    I just want to vent

    That is going to be quite difficult to do unless you are expanding on multiple sites. One way I used silence in order to improve, is studying the statistics. Ranging the rate of completion. Afterwards, I would go back and reread the part. This usually pointed out mistakes, such as...
