the way people on this forum keep clocking me as a Jojo person is uncanny and frightening.

Better than first v0v

How many crappy first drafts have you finished previously? If you continually abandon projects and start new ones without finishing things, you will sabotage your efforts at improvement. Harsh but true.

No. No one does. Not anywhere. It's not done anymore, and for good reason.

Well, my first thought was "Who the Hell is that?"

Because the process of writing is so solitary (for the most part no one is leaning over your shoulder making sure you're doing it 'properly') and so optional (no one made you do this, and it's not necessary for a job that supports you in all but the most fortunate cases), your habits will always...

Oh, no more than I am, I suppose. :blob_hmm:

A two-pronged reminder: -If you upload more than once, you appear more than once. Shooting your shot three times a week is preferable to shooting your shot once and walking away. -If you upload consistently, you will be seen and read consistently. People learn to trust you and expect/anticipate...

One thing it's worth keeping in mind when writing serial fiction to be read online isn't even so much "Phone make stuipid, make short cause brain shrunk," but that readers are often reading multiple updates or stories in one sitting, which is often something like their lunch break or commute...

This is something you're going to have to revisit and convince yourself of over and over again (I would know, because I experience it): Two months is not very long to be doing something, especially a totally new venture. I think in any other context we would feel silly applying the same...

If you are able to convince yourself that it is still the late Clinton era you will not detect any issues.

I am a millennial, so yes.

If your heart is not in it, do not do it. Those who find you organically will sense your lack of commitment to Sparklemotion and bail.
