I regained my motivation to write by realising that I don't actually care that much about my readers. Yeah I'm being rude, but I write because I want to know what I'll do with my story since I write whatever I want on a whim. The readers are just there to give the occasional "You're doing good"...

Good luck and bad luck are the same thing. It's cliche but in a way they are two sides of the same coin. Having neutral luck would be if nothing special happens. Having good or bad luck is when anything special happens that wouldn't normally happen to someone. So in the case of getting a very...

I like seeing the reader and view count rise but otherwise it doesn't mean much to me. Nobody really comments on my stories so aside from the numbers I get no perspective of how many people are actually reading my book. Besides I write because I'm bored and do it to pass time over anything else...

I can't identify people irl by their faces so I instead identify people with hair style/colour and body shape. So that's the most description I bother giving about how a character looks because It's the only way I identify people irl.

Don't let the joke run away from you or last too long. Some jokes only work as a quick gag and just become weird if you drag it on for longer than you need to. The last thing you want when writing comedy is for everything to get awkward, unless of course the joke is based around it getting...

Someone who mentally can't form emotional attachments may seek immortality just because there are no downsides. If there was no personal hell of seeing all your friends die there are many people who would likely become immortal for no other reason than "why not." Not everybody thinks living...

I know nothing about ocd and I am completely unqualified to help, but I'll try to help regardless. Your work will almost always seem professional to at least one person. Everyone has different things they like so while you can focus on getting good grammar, for everything else there will always...

An adult is just a child who pays taxes. -quote from someone whose name I don't remember.

I once listened to this song to hype myself up when writing a fight scene but I got too hyped up and made the fight scene last way longer than I wanted to so I rewrote most of the chapter.

I tend to always write in the first person because it allows more freedom when fleshing out my story. The readers only know what my character know so it's more understandable for me to pull some plot point out of my ass that was never mentioned before just because the mc didn't know about it. I...

Not really a genre but I can't write light-hearted stuff very well. I just can't resist the urge to make depressing backstories.

Just bookmarked this thread because why not

I say stick around 1k-2k words it's a decent amount so readers can be satisfied and it isn't a huge amount so the author can write it quickly allowing for more frequent uploads. Any lower and it's annoying for the readers because you barely get any story progression. Any higher and it starts...

If you really want or need to write at that exact moment and you can't get rid of distractions the best thing to do is just do a more basic version of your writing. Just kind of simply write without worrying too much about what the end result is and then when you don't have distractions you can...

I've never made anything beyond stuff like cake but as long as you have the cooking tools it isn't really that hard. You just have to resist the urge to throw away the instructions and constantly look at them. Also read them once before you start cooking in case a later step requires you to do...
