    What genre do you struggle the most to write?

    Tbh that is a good thing. I get bored if a story is only about romance/action adventure etc. I like kitsch (as long as the story does not head away in a tangential storyline) in my stories. Most popular novels always have multiple genres.

    Do people post short stories here as well? Or is it only long format stories?

    I've written a few short stories (for contests, based on the Mahabharatha - Indian epic etc.) Do people usually read stuff like that here? I haven't seen any short stories on this site (or is it just me not looking hard enough?).

    What genre do you struggle the most to write?

    Sci-fi for me as well. I do well with contemporary (humor, drama, romance) but really struggle to fit things in a sci-fi setting. Maybe I ought to challenge myself to writing something with sci-fi.

    [New Story] Their Wonder Years - A 1998 College Coming-of-Age Romance (Complete First Arc)

    Alright! 8 chapters up and more to come every 4 hours. I love the schedule feature. This site really has some awesome tools for publishing. I guess that's why people publish every few seconds. LOL. It's brutal in the latest updates list!

    Writing text convo in a story.

    I've seen a few authors that format the text like an actual conversation with different colors for different participants. That works as well. IMO, if the conversation is longer than a couple of sentences it makes sense to do it in the first format. That said, unless the conversation is...

    Why is no one reading my novel??

    I learned that writing smaller chunks of my large story helps. The engagement has definitely been longer now. Aiming to keep in the Latest Updates list on the homepage until a critical mass is reached.

    Do you write multiple stories?

    I started writing one story. Then to keep my name alive on the front page (not on this site), I started one more. The funny thing is my second story became more popular than the first one. I slowed down on my first story. Writing multiple stories is fun. However, it does take away from your...

    [New Story] Their Wonder Years - A 1998 College Coming-of-Age Romance (Complete First Arc)

    Thanks! Yea. It's interesting to learn how each platform is different. I like the way you've embedded your stories in the signature. I have shamelessly borrowed it :s_tongue:

    [New Story] Their Wonder Years - A 1998 College Coming-of-Age Romance (Complete First Arc)

    Thanks. I broke my first chapter up into 4 parts :) It's a lot harder to do this than I thought! Oh well. I wondered how some of the writers here had 1k+ chapters. I guess I may reach that point as well at some time!

    [New Story] Their Wonder Years - A 1998 College Coming-of-Age Romance (Complete First Arc)

    Thanks. I think I'll do just that. Seeing the top stories and trending stories - I see the same format over and over. I'll just have to redo the chapters :mad_s:

    [New Story] Their Wonder Years - A 1998 College Coming-of-Age Romance (Complete First Arc)

    I do too. Problem is exactly what you mentioned earlier though. That you'll come back to it instead of getting started with the story. I think I'll probably break down the existing content into more consumable chapters. I want people to read asap - not earmark it for later.

    [New Story] Their Wonder Years - A 1998 College Coming-of-Age Romance (Complete First Arc)

    Thanks for the reply! Should I break down the stories into smaller parts? Are such big chapters a no-no here? I write on storiesonline. I had started one story on Scribblehub way back but gave up because I rarely saw anyone engage. I was told that people don't read until you finish a...
