    How does one write a 1k chapter book?

    I have one series with roughly 2.5k chapters that are about 1k words per chapter and it's not finished yet (and has additional extras and prequels that I haven't even counted in this). There are one and a half volumes still left and I'll add some parts in the revision so I assume this will...

    I love all my projects but it's so nice to just take the time and write something only for myself every once in a while that isn't subject to the schedule :blob_melt:

    ... It's indeed weird. But you know, as a not-so-social person myself, I can actually get behind that reason :sweat_smile:

    ... People do that? I mean, if you don't have people to have conversations with who are you going to ... 'brag' about having a conversation with? Can you brag about having conversations? :blob_blank:

    "Oh, I got a new email!" <- Me, ten seconds after sending notes on my phone from one account to another so I can open them on my laptop. Clearly, my memory is lackluster :sweat_smile:

    How do I concentrate on stories for more than 15 days?

    I started writing a story in early 2018 that I am still writing now, four years later. I'm about two million words in and still have two volumes to go and while there have been stretches where it wasn't as interesting as it was at other times, I was never bored of writing it. The secret for me...

    Didn't reach my word count goal for July. Still happy though :blob_aww: I made it from lagging behind by 26k words to just being behind by 6k words at the end :blobrofl:

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yeah, that makes sense. I would have been really confused otherwise because we have built-in buttons for Patreon, ko-fi, and similar sites, after all, which feels kind of like endorsing extra content somewhere else.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Wait, there's a rule against that? :blob_blank: Admittedly, it's been forever since I read the rules so I might not remember but I do have a glossary that could be constituted as 'bonus content'. I simply posted it on my website though (since it's a pdf file meant for downloading) and only gave...

    It does! honestly, I don't think I would have been able to finish catching up this month if not for that. I'm so happy ~ :blob_aww:

    Haha, and yet, I always sit here and beat myself up over not having done enough. Is that toxic productivity yet? Or me simply not doing a good job as a self-employed writing person with a short attention span? :sweat_smile: But I guess you might still win that bet, Ben :blobrofl:

    The nice thing about being unable to properly count is that sometimes, you surprise yourself. On that note: Only two more chapters for me to finally catch up to all of my releases! :blob_aww: (Still 20k words behind this month's word count goal though :sweat_smile:)

    Chapter Nesting into sections [Author Feature][Reader Help]

    Just for clarification: @Chillfire02, are you talking about the Table of Contents in our author dashboard, the Table of Contents on a story's detail page, or both? Because it sounded like you might mean both and I'd agree with @AliceShiki that this shouldn't be necessary for the detail pages or...

    If the context makes it clear that they mean something else, that's not what I am talking about at all. I am only referring to people who are trying to judge the effort put into a story based on the story itself.

    Sure, we might put more effort into some stories compared to others but there is no story that is written with no effort at all as far as I'm concerned. We still had to come up with it and type it, after all. A no-effort story is a plagiarized one you copied somewhere and even that one had...

    You totally don't have to agree with this, btw. As I said, it's a personal pet peeve of mine because I tend to think that there is effort put into any story simply by us sitting down and taking the time to write it.

    The golden rule of judging stories is to judge the actual story, not the author. Saying "there was no effort put into this" is, in my eyes, judging the perceived lack of effort on the author's part and not the story. If somebody wants to judge the story, they'd have to say what they deem...
