    Writing The absolutely horror experience of writing(drafting and not really im just exaggerating with self inflicted crisis..)

    Why are you so worried? For a draft this is fine, yes there are some missing words, yes some sentences and wording could be improved. Outside of two cases where you repeat what dialogue said with narrator ("'...' Hellen started to be speechless as wel, " the ... isn't necessary because you...

    Help

    As long as you don't delete them you won't lose progress, just a massive time sink to organize. Perhaps it'll help to skim over them really quick and write down what you remember, (that tends end up being more important) and go from there. There is no 'easy' way to organize information when...

    Writing Discouragement in Writing

    If you are writing, you are writing for a reason; be that just creating a story or something more serious. In the end, you still need to write something. Even writing without an audience is still better than stopping with writing altogether because of the sometimes rather painful feedback...

    Why do you keep writting?

    There's a certain point where you've sunk so much time into the story (or even the idea for it) that you just have to finish it, readers or not. At that point giving up is like a punch in the gut.

    Editing chapter gives views?

    Thank you for the kind words. Actually, I am planning to post on RR, but I want the earlier chapters to come out with less time in between them as they are meant to read close after another.

    S.O.S - My story is garbage.

    Feeling sad for someone doesn't require tears, feeling happy for someone doesn't equate to a smile or giggle. To actually get anyone to genuinely cry or smile for someone(not at, an important distinction) requires a level of sympathy—that while differing from to person to person—is hardly ever...

    Editing chapter gives views?

    Every time I get stuck, am bored, or just have nothing better to do, I go over my story and edit wherever necessary. And every time I visit the chapter the view count goes up. But since that is the majority of my day is boring and tiring, my views are 98% me rereading the entire thing for the...

    When a random thought breaks your story immersion

    People can function normally after being shot multiple times for longer than you might expect. Some people do not even notice they were shot at all. Depending on where you got stabbed, shot or bit you can function normally for a couple minutes. Adrenaline does that for you. In movies when...
