You won't be successful, and here is why:

[Tilted_pen]

Yeah, I said it. You won't be successful. Why? Because:

• You only have a theme in mind and not a story.
  • Imagining a cool setting or power for a character is barely 5% of what makes a story a story. If you think that's enough, just stop and keep daydreaming, spare the readers from uploading another 1-chapter abandoned nothingbörger.
• You don't have the discipline.
  • Uploading randomly, once a week, once a month, etc, and expecting results is laughable. If you are not ready to grind it every day, don't even dream about it.
• You lack conviction.
  • The first negative comment, review, etc., will send you to ragequit or straight into depression. You lack the self-confidence to either learn from them or ignore the trolls and keep pushing. Instead, you will delete your account.
• You lack the correct amount of stubbornness and/or patience.
  • The lack of feedback, views, and the feeling of writing for only yourself will kill your mojo and make you give up.
• You lack either the proper creativity or foresight to plan ahead.
  • You may start out well. You may even get readers. You may even post a handful of chapters. But then you realize you are the guy/gal from the first point in this list. You had a good idea... but nothing more. You lack the meat of the story, and now that you are deep, the currents are sweeping you away. You never planned what you would do after a certain point because you never imagined you would get there.
• You can't see things through.
  • You abandon your books when you reach the previous point because you have a new, flashy idea. Because you are still the one from the first point. So you start the cycle over. A year later, you have five unfinished books, and nobody is bothering with your sixth because you failed to finish even ONE.
• You want money.
  • You think this will be easy. You can write a million words, and if not, AI will do it for you. Then you think people will run to subscribe to your patreon. You think it doesn't require actual work; it is just writing your cool, flashy, anime-like ideas down using words. Yeah, no. Those who can live off of it are the exception—90% of writers never even make it to having a patreon subscriber besides their moms.
• You ask for tips and tricks, help, and first-chapter reviews, but you don't listen.
  • You can't even understand the advice you are being given. Even if you get the feedback you wanted, you think you will be patted on the head and caressed, telling you how good your story is. Most of you never implement the feedback and never change. Most of you give up anyway and never reach the part where you start improving.
• You lack the talent.
  • It is what it is. Everything needs a certain degree of actual talent. Some have it, some don't. Some think they have it... and they may even bruteforce it. But that's rare to work out.
• And lastly, you never gained reading comprehension skills.
  • You are probably already angry about this thread. Angry at me. Angry at the truth.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I am just being mean.

Maybe it's Maybelline.

Bro saw me trying to write a story and posted this.

Btw, Posted the 2nd chapter just today, called 'God is human'.

Damn. Good thing writing is just a hobby for me.

I totally agree, hopefully I didn't quit. I started 8 years ago, as an average imaginator, like anyone else. but I didn't stop. I took the lore so far and in dept that it overwhelms me today. but I still Write, because I like it. I am a student, so I find it hard to stick to my hobby at times, but I never left it for the last 8 years, I kept writing, and only recently came on digital platform around 3 years ago. and it's all true, whatever you said. but that's not enough to make me stop imagining and keep writing down the world I create.

I have become so stubborn that if at any point I think my story is lacking. I will go into full reediting mode and even today I think i am not good enough. so of course, the people from your point 1 will be overwhelmed as hell.

 

[Deleted member 120990]

I do some of these things that will make me not successful, yet I still profit. I'm the fucking anti-hero that authors have wet dreams about becoming. I write 1 chapter stories, and then I write a story on an alt account that brings in monthly profits.

I upload infrequently, yet every time I post, these people are creaming their pants. I'm the fucking dark messiah, bitch.

• You didn't use condom.
  • Now, you have a child, and you must keep it alive at all costs. Someday, you hope it will survive without you, so you must prepare it for the world we live in. This takes more time and energy than you ever imagined.

 

[Author.eren]

I am uploading regularly and have the story planned ahead and how it will affect my overall setting. When people said that my prologue was confusing, I rewrote it, and, yeah, it is better. I never lash out at the critique and try to learn how not to over-describe stuff... But hardly anyone read my story. A year's work, 556,134 words written, edited, and rewritten, and I got no traction. The same result as with my previous stories.

It is silly to blame anyone but myself, because I am lonely, and my dream was to create a setting and gain fans. Money was never a factor; I wanted people to discuss my story and characters. Earning comments, earning fan arts, that selfish stuff. I thought that if Empress Theresa had gained a huge following, and if people who scam their fans still have fans, then with my honest and hard work, I could fit in too.

But so far it hasn't worked out. My intelligence is low and I have no talent. I guess the world is punishing me for something, or I have bad karma for what I did in past lives, if that is a thing. If there is any mercy in the world, my natural lifespan won't be long, because it sucks having no one to talk to.

That's relatable

I just asked ChatGPT to translate this and post it on a Vietnamese Fcaebook group with 150k members let's see if they gon say sum

Here's the first 2 notable comments on Facebook:

"There are two types of self-help writing: one is encouragement and the other is this type of trampling. Whether self-help is really helpful or not depends on each person's own perception :))"
^ Self-help books are often look down upon in Vietnamese literature because of its infamy in just writing nonsense words that generalize stuff

"Who said you can't make money writing?"
This person posted an image of a message they received saying something like
Total: 4 million Vietnamese Dong
Half: 2 million Vietnamese Dong
To which I can only assume it means they'll receive 2 million Vietnamese dong, and god knows why, how and is it livable

Why is VND so confusing? At least 2million yen is over 13k USD. Yet 2million VND is only like 80 USD.

More comments just cus
"I write commissions. Also, ask yourself how many years and how many words you have written. If the minimum number of words you have written has not reached 200,000, then you should continue writing until you have enough and then open a commission. When I mentioned 200,000 words, I did not mention "number of words." but I focused on "number of practice times." If you practice enough, one day you will be able to go out on the field and play the ball you like. Don't need to listen to anyone."

Yeah, I said it. You won't be successful. Why? Because:

• You only have a theme in mind and not a story.
  • Imagining a cool setting or power for a character is barely 5% of what makes a story a story. If you think that's enough, just stop and keep daydreaming, spare the readers from uploading another 1-chapter abandoned nothingbörger.

Not my problem. Though I've seen writers with more far more engaging styles than mine have this problem.

• You don't have the discipline.
  • Uploading randomly, once a week, once a month, etc, and expecting results is laughable. If you are not ready to grind it every day, don't even dream about it.

No, I have a job, actual work that adds real value to the world and sustains mind, body, and soul.

• You lack conviction.
  • The first negative comment, review, etc., will send you to ragequit or straight into depression. You lack the self-confidence to either learn from them or ignore the trolls and keep pushing. Instead, you will delete your account.

Yes. I've been working on this. RR almost killed my spirit. But in the end my skin got a little thicker. If my characters can endure the pain I put them through, I can endure getting pelted with rotten tomaters.

• You lack the correct amount of stubbornness and/or patience.
  • The lack of feedback, views, and the feeling of writing for only yourself will kill your mojo and make you give up.

I'm a FOOOOOKING BULL! I'm not gonna STOOOOOP!

• You lack either the proper creativity or foresight to plan ahead.
  • You may start out well. You may even get readers. You may even post a handful of chapters. But then you realize you are the guy/gal from the first point in this list. You had a good idea... but nothing more. You lack the meat of the story, and now that you are deep, the currents are sweeping you away. You never planned what you would do after a certain point because you never imagined you would get there.

My two stories were already fully written beggining to end when I started posting. One failed miserably and I need to examine the wreckage because I wrote it when I was very young, the other went way better than expected but also wrote it when very young. The others still up have full outlines, bones that need flesh. But a story is not a story without an ending.

• You can't see things through.
  • You abandon your books when you reach the previous point because you have a new, flashy idea. Because you are still the one from the first point. So you start the cycle over. A year later, you have five unfinished books, and nobody is bothering with your sixth because you failed to finish even ONE.

I've pledged to myself not to have more than three projects at once, not including contest writes that will become short stories.

• You want money.
  • You think this will be easy. You can write a million words, and if not, AI will do it for you. Then you think people will run to subscribe to your patreon. You think it doesn't require actual work; it is just writing your cool, flashy, anime-like ideas down using words. Yeah, no. Those who can live off of it are the exception—90% of writers never even make it to having a patreon subscriber besides their moms.

I've not asked for a single solitary centavo. And I really don't intend to. I just want readers. I should be content, I've gotten far more than expected. But I want MORE!

• You ask for tips and tricks, help, and first-chapter reviews, but you don't listen.
  • You can't even understand the advice you are being given. Even if you get the feedback you wanted, you think you will be patted on the head and caressed, telling you how good your story is. Most of you never implement the feedback and never change. Most of you give up anyway and never reach the part where you start improving.

I don't ask other people for help, that's for the weak. And I'm not weak.

• You lack the talent.
  • It is what it is. Everything needs a certain degree of actual talent. Some have it, some don't. Some think they have it... and they may even bruteforce it. But that's rare to work out.

Don't make me reveal my final form. I only recognize writers whose words I enjoy or enjoyed more than my own polished and edited words as my talent superiors. *And one of those writers deleted everything*

• And lastly, you never gained reading comprehension skills.
  • You are probably already angry about this thread. Angry at me. Angry at the truth.

Bruh, that's just bait at this point.

• Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I am just being mean.

Maybe it's Maybelline.

Nah, you're just teabagging. It's all part of the game. I love you. Moo.

I guess it's time to give up video games and browsing forums.

 

[LuoirM]

Your article is repetitive. Out of 9-10 points, you got idea 2-3, and most of them are self-help. It sounds good but doesn’t help much. Anyway, I appreciate your contribution to the community.
