    Do you think a choose your own adventure thing work here? Would you read and or write one here?

    I’ll actually brought over a story that was originally composed on a CYOA place in that shape with multiple storylines and polls for new plotlines included. It’s difficult to actively plan ahead and post several different pathways for the story though.

    My thoughts about feeling lost because of the perfectionism

    It’s never going to be perfect. The approach to perfection comes from practice. You write you write you write you write you write you write and then for a change you write a little bit more. I have been doing this for almost 30 years straight and I’m not even that old. Most of the stuff from the...

    Man.. is it okay for like a chapter to not have 1000+ words?

    Whatever allows you to write more chapters. You can shoot for any particular goal on a given chapter or an opening chapter or whatever but ultimately you want to make sure that what you’re making is sustainable to your mental health and to your creative output.

    Writing How Many Words Should I Put?

    All of them. All the words. Except for the ones you don’t need to put. Every last word. Until the brain people tell you to stop. Seriously though, the number of words you use for chapter can vary wildly. I typically find prologues either run long or they tend to be somewhere around 500 to 1000...

    I think I misinterpreted what a "webnovel" is.

    Part of the fun is not knowing what the heck you’re going to write in the next few days or the next week because you’re figuring it out as you go.

    How do you get rid of writers block?

    Threaten your creativity with a sharpened pencil if doesn’t do what you want. Basically what you need to do is to just write you. Write, even if it’s crap. And you keep writing crap until it stops being crap. Also you can edit it in post. The best way to avoid such issues is to keep a routine...

    Do I write too much?

    I actually had an interesting recent epiphany when going through a series of chapters I was very scared about because I made the conscious decision to not spend a lot of time on digressions and distractions even though I could’ve easily filled the chapters with a lot of details. I found the...

    Marvel/DC-esque Web Novellas

    I’m actually kind of doing that right now with gender bending overtones. It’s a series of sort of books. The first one started out in auspiciously with a cursed toilet seat that actually unveiled a spirit entity with powers and two parallel timelines. Then the second one was more of a magical...

    What’s your most ambitious idea for a story?

    I was just thinking about this recently because I’m actually attempting stuff that’s fairly ambitious and huge and I don’t know if I’ll succeed but I’m giving a shot. There’s a lot of ideas that kind of float around my head that are huge or would take a lot of research and work to really get...

    Writing How often do you re-describe a character appearance?

    Heavily serial chapters with a lot of characters sometimes need it a lot. Glossary helps but typically I will describe character appearance in the framework of a mood. Like you can say, “Her brown eyes lost their fire/felt dim”. Typically a good rule of thumb is that the focus of any description...

    Stolen content from ScribbleHub being published on Kindle without permission

    At least they didn’t throw up their own copyright page on it. :/ Friggin shameless otherwise. https://www.scribblehub.com/read/152957-lanuleta-university-a-world-of-magical-science-and-strange-connections/chapter/164248/ I reported by the Amazon bot page but I’m not sure how the other one...

    Open ai, and using it to write fighting scenes.

    I’ve had a lot of fun feeding my work into AI and seeing what it comes up with. The problem is it’s a lot like programming and I’ve never really grasp the intricacies of it. What you need to do is provide the AI with absolutely everything it will ever need so you need to explain the lore, the...

    How do I post art picture on my chapters

    Does your hosting service allow hotlinking? That could be the issue. Typically you just go into the work select the image tab and then pick the exact dot file (myimage.PNG) and then paste it into the work and then resize it with the tools provided and provide mouse over text and whatever else...

    What is that one BS item that your character has access to?

    Goggles that let her teleport to any universe at any time, which is why I had to find ways to hinder their capabilities.

    Linking drafts or making private chapters

    Unlisted chapters would be nifty for revision and collaboration. I was trying to show a problem I was having with formatting to a friend but it was occurring in the word processor sometime ago so I couldn’t replicate it show.
