Just checked trending and I'm still not on trending so... ha! I've made my story pretty "trending" proof by not having a cover, poor characters, little to no backstory or worldbuilding, mediocre writing, etc... etc...

Am I the only one that doesn't like their stories to go trending? I've found that most readers that want to read my story will find it on their own, but as soon as it gets into trending it's more open to the average reader that will look at it despite it not necessarily having tags for things...

I'm a stay home parent, so I couldn't go full time unless I earned more than my SO, so... somewhere around 3.5k a month. No way I'll ever make that much, so I'd probably end up using the money to finally get a cover for my story. I used to have a Patreon but I only ever got one $1 Patron so...

My art skills are so bad I'm probably better off making a cover for my stories, and I don't feel comfortable stealing random pictures from the internet. Also too poor to pay someone. I don't want to beg either.

As a writer with issues of insecurity, I appreciate not getting comments. When I do get comments, I'm often too scared to read them in the off chance its someone saying my chapter or story sucks, even though most of the time it's just someone saying "Thanks for the chapter" or responding to my...

Nah, they have all sorts of random stories there. Tons of anime crossovers. Harry Potter fanfics. They even have a whole section dedicated to a web novel called Worm.

I'm the opposite. I've never liked fanfiction because I feel it isn't "real." I'm not saying there can't be good fanfiction but if it isn't written by the original author then I feel I'm wasting my time. I'd much rather spend my time with my own or someone else's blank canvas. Using someone...

Could that be part of the reason I'm getting so little interest? I imagine it has more to do with me having little to maybe bad reputation for writing. This project requires some work on the readers part and I don't have the reputation that motivates them to put work into something that might...

I have a story idea I'm wanting to do, but I'm not sure how well it will work because reader participation is essential to its success. I also have had trouble thinking of a proper title do to the nature of the project. I have posted it here...

I agree with this. The first story I wrote had tons of flaws, and most of the written reviews it got over on Royal Road were less than stellar(no one reviewed on Scribblehub). Do I regret writing it? No. Does it suck to get a bunch of two star reviews? Yes! But my writing wouldn't be what it is...

I'm learning a lot, thanks! Writing is one thing and I hope I'm better than average, but when it comes to publishing I've got a long way to go so this really helps. Also got introduced to Grammarly and I wish I had known about it sooner. Soooooo many "actually" removed haha. Maybe I will get a...

I'm not planning on making any money off of my current work. For now I am more looking for critiquing and seeing if people enjoy my work enough to invest time into writing more. I'm pretty pessimistic about my writing so lots of the time I wonder if I should even do it. Why write if no one likes...

I ended up using an avatar creator, haha. I couldn't find a picture that satisfied me so I got creative. No way I'm drawing it myself. I can barely do a passable face. Was wanting to go with a little bit more realistic character design but hey, it worked. Thanks for all the help. I was pretty...

I've posted some occasionally but maybe I'll do that more. Thanks for the tips. I guess Good thing I can retroactively do that.

My story is called "Salis" and I just published chapter 17. It's actually a story I finished a few years ago and just now decided to post so it's not just gathering dust where no one can read it. I wouldn't say my first chapter is bad but I just get pretty pessimistic when it comes to my...

In hopes to get more interest in my novel I was considering commissioning an artist to draw a simple picture of my main character to replace the default Scribble Hub picture. Question is, will it really help? For all I know my first chapter is just that bad and having a picture won't accomplish...
