    How to increase the quality of writing style

    Overall, your writing is fine. If you want a detailed critique: (changes in bold) The thing I seemed to want to edit most was sentence length. You might try making shorter, tighter sentences, at least some of the time. Couple of tense problems. Minor. Your writing it good. Write more it will...

    The novels people like DO reflect who they really are.

    Did you try filing a report with the story police? They take accusations like this very seriously. You can be sure they will get to the bottom of things. Revolting? How judgmental. Making others suffer without repercussions? Is it just me or is that the whole point of this thread?

    When publishing a new series...

    After several launches i now post 5 chapters in one day (3-4 hours apart), then a chapter a day for the rest of the week, then regular posting schedule after that. So 8-10 real fast, then business as usual. I agree. You want people to have something thing can sink their teeth into.

    pronouns to abstract character

    In my story Tenebroum I have three non-human characters: The lich is barely a person and uses it/they pronouns, a spirit that is all that remains of a dwarven fire god which uses he/him pronouns, and a river dragon which uses she/her pronouns. None of these characters have a true gender, and two...

    Story idea I struggle to write

    Have you ever seen the movie The Fifth Element? There's a sequence where they rebuild Lelu from just a few skin cells. That's how I write. They assemble her bones from slices, then install the tissue and last comes the skin I start with a sentence or two. What is the story you want to tell in...

    How far to push a story, and when to pivot to a new one?

    I completely sympathize with this question. I am very diligently writing one story that has perhaps 20 readers and am over 150k words on it. The logical thing to do is to drop it and focus on my other more popular stories, but I can't bring myself to do it. It's a commitment to myself as much as...

    How much is a healthy word count?

    6k per day is seriously impressive. 6k is my single day best. My goal is 10k words a week, at 2-3k a day.

    Writing How do you guys persist on creating another chapter?

    This. I have the outline of the whole book written, and a rough idea of what needs to happen in each chapter to get to the desired end. It's a lot less pressure to write when you know what needs to happen. At least that's what works for me! On writing days, I also don't let myself do anything...

    How does one write a 1k chapter book?

    A series of escalating and connected smaller challenges that lead to larger ones that afford the MC more friends, enemies, and plots. Each of these will come with their own complications which will require more chapters to resolve. One of my stories, Letter of the Law, will reach its first...
