Writing is a "craft" and storytelling is an "art." Or perhaps when you meld them together they become an art. Hard to say.

Sweet story idea. Might have to write this as a living-dungeon-type story.

Being told that my samurai are historically inaccurate (in my fantasy novel.) :ROFLMAO:

Or skip this and keep writing while trying not to make the same mistakes over and over until you get to a place where you don't need to rewrite at all. ?

Scribblehub feels like Royal Road back in the day. I like it, and people are pretty friendly over here.

I generally write about 1,500 words an hour and I write until I hit 3,000 words (12 manuscript pages) to keep myself writing at pulp speed, which is a million words a year. Rewriting is for chumps.

And don't forget other craft nonsense, like "Writing is rewriting." Nonsense.

Say nothing, or say, "Let's wait and find out." No need to get testy. He's not that bad.

I have no AI overlords. I am an artist and I reject that evil sorcery.

Interesting post. Technically short fiction is incomplete. But I see it more as the story living on. Yes, it's unfinished, assuming it got started in the first place, and it lives on in your mind, all the possibilities, etc.

If you use AI to write, then you're lower than "hack writer" status. Dump that ****.

If your story isn't about legitimizing racism, then there shouldn't be a problem at all. Write your story.

You'll have to be a pulp writer. https://deanwesleysmith.com/making-a-living-with-short-fiction-2021/

He's trash. His books read like anime, his humor is childish, he bashes the reader over the head with is modern principles of morality and his books are just too long and padded. Another thing I don't like is that he doesn't write magic, he writes pseudo science. I guess the LitRPG slop readers...

Haha! Good to know, and thanks for letting us know. I'm always curious about this kind of thing. Glad you're finding some success on there.

Follow me! We've got a job to do, Now follow through! It's a quest for thee, therefore, follow me! and uphold the standard that shall not be slandered Men of the blue and gold— those of the bold, take up your crosses and heed not our losses; for we strive with lion’s might! On...

Indeed! But I would add, at least for myself, read genres you think you aren't interested in. You will learn a lot.

Go look up The Windsteppe Princess and the Amalfi Magician on RR. It's a pirate story I wrote. It's a romance, a bit spicy, but good. And a fantasy. Not RR cup of tea, but I got a few readers who liked it. One said she read it in one sitting. It's 30,000 words, about a hundred pages.

Nope. I don't have this problem at all.

I'd say it doesn't matter. Think about anime that's been turned into live action. Often it just doesn't work, it's too cheesy, too unrealistic, to unbelievable in every way, And yet you can suspend your disbelief with anime. It's the same with writing. You can do things in writing that would...
