I've unfortunately reached the point where my favorite things to do when I have some time off are clean my house up and then sit in it while it's clean and act like I'm going to do something other then take a nap LOL.
I write Dark Fantasy/Horror as well. The core issue is that the narration keeps stopping and every beat of dread gets interrupted by something. Those details aren't building atmosphere they're kind of deflating it and I don't mean that in a mean way. Right when the reader should feel that chill...
I use the free version. I’ve tried the paid version before but when I’m working in PWA I sometimes get stuck obsessing over every little thing it highlights. I like to draft on PWA because the layout squeezes the text in. Makes the paragraphs feel more compact instead of one long string of text...
:blob_party: It was either now or never. I spent at least two days just going through ProWritingAid trying to catch every little mistake I could, double spacing etc. Now onto the next one TVT.
I've spent the entire week I've had off combing over 67k words over and over and over, putting my first novel up on Kindle, starting my next one, and cleaning up my current Web Novel Pages. I'm so fucking mentally drained but really happy. I said I would, and I did. Small W's.
Bro knows. Just had to go through the last 12 chapters of my story cos notorious evil-doer pangmooda pointed out I should just number my chapters 1 2 3 4 etc instead of 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 cos readers might get turned off by that and I messed up one with my tired eyes.
I wanna update all my chapters and fix some minor stuff I missed on my last pass yesterday and leave the story with a nice bow, but FAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Worst mistake I made starting out in the web novel space is launching on three platforms. Having to do edits on all three sites makes me wanna slit my wrists and do push-ups in salt water dude lol.

Just finished it today. It's a drama/horror/psychological thriller dipped in anime. I've got some romance in there, some slow burn. Thank you for going out of your way and thank you for giving us all the opportunity self promote.
Looks like a chill dapper dude who might sell you a cosmic relic or two, perhaps who might even know a secret or two about the inner workings of the universe. Solid look, my man.
That's a tough one LOL. Engaging is a wide umbrella. An MC can have a goal and flaws and challenges and still feel boring. Usually what’s missing isn’t backstory it’s presence.
Hype protagonists change the nature of every scene they enter. They make decisions that shift the plot instead of...
What Comes After is officially finished! My first completed Web Novel and I can actually say I don't hate it and I don't hate myself for writing it! :blob_party: :blob_party: :blob_party: :blob_party: :blob_party: :blob_party: :blob_party:
