Not frowning because I disagree, I do agree. It's just a shame that plenty of great artists struggle to stand out from the crowd and charge waaaaaay lower than what they are worth (that'd be going off topic though 🤐) Would rather have no art at all. "Bad art", "bad writing", it's all the same...

Not by going to Webtoon, but I have a read a few comics on Tapas 👀. No particular genre, as I don't do it very often. If someone offered to turn my story into a webtoon, I'd turn them down 😋. My novels (most of them) already have artwork! Plus, revising a webtoon sounds like a pain in the...

This ♥️ You don't want to get stuck in a state of inaction over this type of thing. Brute force your way past it, and fix it later if needed. Or, you could take a break and start writing something else. Spending a lil' time with new characters in new settings can help expand your outlook. What...

Doing the drugs. *chortle* EVERYTHING good that was ever made was done so while doing the drugs. Any evidence to the contrary is normie cope. Doing the drugs unlocks true creativity or t̶r̶i̶g̶g̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶c̶h̶i̶z̶o̶p̶h̶r̶e̶n̶i̶c̶ ̶e̶p̶i̶s̶o̶d̶e̶ Do the drugs. *chortle*

(if this is an option) If you feel you aren't getting enough feedback already, then consider paying some beta readers to take a look at what you got. Money talks 💰. There's plenty of beta readers a Google search away, that would be happy to provide honest and constructive criticism. Again, if...

In terms of the story itself, the experience/process of making it, and the friend I made from it: NOPE ♥️ In terms of grammar, structural stuff, writing style: Yes 🤣, but not in a way I beat myself up over. Taking my Ls, being humble, and watching myself get better on a technical level. I am...

Supremely sariouslee >:-[ I want to get better at writing too and see how much I am capable of growing 👀. This site, any other site (maybe even self-publishing someday), it's all the same to me. But, not serious to the point of getting mopey and depressed if things don't work out, lol. I am...

This ❤️ I just try to describe what needs to be explained without going overboard/monotonous/snoooooooze fest mode :sleep:, and save any heavy exposition bombs for the Glossary or in-between chapter content. It also helps that I cheat a little by getting illustrations made for important...

I don't usually keep track of the word count while writing, typically it'll be the amount of pages 👀. Which is generally, "a couple hours" or less depending on how far I wanna go with a chapter before forcing myself to take a break ☕ 🤔 Umm, I don't have a problem with perfectionism (as far as I...

Technically any writing I do has a goal of me wanting to get better somewhere at it's core, but whenever I write short stories it's mostly just to have fun in a pressure free environment. If it turns out those short stories are unknowingly making me better at something, I won't complain about...

Assuming you are correct, that this person is as arrogant as you say they are, I wouldn't bother engaging with them 🥱. Unless you know them on a personal level. Reality will speak for itself 🥱. If they are "the best author" then reality will reward their arrogance. If not, then their attitude...

The artwork of Kentaro Miura from Berserk is way up there for me. The gore never held back, and the beautiful non-gore moments are just plain beautiful. His vision was uniquely his, no restrictions. That's enviable and admirable. Sometimes I feel he was never given enough credit for his range as...

:blob_hmm: hmm..... I think the motive should loop back around to the assault of that high school girl in some way. The girl could've been the daughter of one of the suspects, and/or that girl IS one of the suspects (a now older Penelope by the time the story begins, for example). I think you...

Both + Both lol :ROFLMAO: Both part 1: I plan out just enough to make sure the story has an end goal to reach, but not aggressively planned out to the point where I won't allow things to change or stop new ideas from coming in. Both part 2: The best authors are the best for a reason, if my gut...

As Stephen King once said, "Notes are a great way to immortalize bad ideas." So my answer is nope :blob_cookie: , I don't write everything down lol. I'll know if an idea is good, if it survives the journey from living rent free in my mind to making it into a published chapter.

"Shiawase no Monosashi" by Mariya Takeuchi and "Stay with me" by Miki Matsubara. Both are upbeat, but definitely in a soothing way. Not too loud or distracting. ...🤔...actually they might lack the lullaby effect, but if the feels lead to an eventual comfy rest then close enough! Lol.

Definitely do what you love, because it's impossible to appeal to everyone all the time. BUT if you want any amount of exposure, even if it's just exactly 1 reader, you have to make what you write interesting. You can't be 100% selfish, 99.9% selfish is fine, but 100 is too far 😉. Focusing...

Plenty of good advice 👀. So I'll try to avoid repeating anybody else 😋. I'd like to add: 1. Avoid getting jealous of the success of other writers. This doesn't mean no one is allowed to have an opinion, but it's a bad look to always whine about what other people are doing, rather than focusing...

Not about the actual "writing" part, but I have had grueling nightmares of getting doxxed and sparking public outrages about my novels 😭. I do something like that too. Right before zoning out, I'll think about writing process stuff.
