What?!--what happened--whose hurt?!

It's "art" right?

We live in a strength based world right now. Of course, if you ask some, they would tell you democracy is just a sham, a veneer to keep the peasants believing they're in charge. (Wink! Wink!)

I ONLY write with proper formatting, and neither of those is it. Left aligned with paragraph indentations. The right side is supposed to be jagged.

It's not lazy and it's not wrong, and it's not bad. "Thus" is an older word. As the writer, the artist, the words you use are completely up to you. It's a stylistic choice that actually makes your writing unique. Leave it. Write the way you like writing.

Then I should start worrying about going senile, because I have no recollection of any of that. But I was pretty busy back then. Cranking out 6k a day starts to wear you down. I also have a VERY full inbox on RR, lol.

Do we know each other? Your name seems familiar, but...

Hold it right there! I knew it was you--I could smell you, gettin' off the elevator! Ignore everything they told you. Who do you think you are? You're not going to write a novel and be happy with it, especially if you compare yourself to anyone else, and especially if you ask people who aren't...

Nope. In writing terms it's called a "gimmick."

Here's a recent review: This has a mishmash of classic Sprawlian cyberpunk, with a touch of CD Project Red/Edgerunners. Reads to me reminiscent of pulp monthly sci-fi rags, quick, concise story arcs, lots of action and ridiculousness. I guess that's style, and partially story - the story is...

Bah! Long live pulp and the novelette!

I think the secret is that most writers these days don't know anything about brevity if it came up and smacked them in the face. A lot of novels are long bloated beasts in series that have way too many sequels. I get bored with a story when it becomes too long, because the things I wanted to...

Heh! A true anti-hero shouldn't be evil. I think an anti-hero operates OUTSIDE of accepted norms and has personal flaws. A lot of the "anti-heroes" I see on tv are are pretty much villains with likable qualities.

"The horny" lol. Never seen it mentioned like that before. Well, Oni Rokura didn't do too bad. I got 250 followers and was gaining 1-2 a day (per upload) until I just stopped writing it. I should finish my fantasy space opera. It's got a bit of "the horny" but I wouldn't characterize it as being...

No it doesn't. All it means is that the reader has an opinion. OP, there's nothing wrong with being rated under four stars and it doesn't necessarily mean in the story is flawed. It may simply just mean that the readership for your story is a little smaller than some other stories, and that's all.

A good day for me is 3,000 in two hours.

Well, I got burned out on Oni Rokura and just quit writing without plans to continue or discontinue. With 170 readers on Royal Road and 250 here, no one said a word. My readers don't seem to care, and neither do I. So whatever. I don't write for validation, but if I had some readers say, "Hey, I...
