That's that and this is this.i dont want to be that one guy who goes hard about "survivor bias" or "hard work does not pay off" but I think im starting to grow pessimistic each day
we always hear the 1% who succeeded and never hear about the 99% who failed
there is this one guy that created this term "literary masturbation" and it basically means you're writing a story that will never benefit you financially
i want to be optimistic, but i cant help but be gripped by the reality that "not all authors will succeed"
not. all. authors. will. succeed.
not. all. entrepreneurs. will. succeed.
failure is failure, and i don't like it when people try to see the "silver lining" of it; perhaps life is so cruel that it literally doesn't care whether you persevere or not
literally everything is luck and we just copium every time we don't meet our standards
"yeah, this will work out and i will keep doing it no matter what"
but will it really work out?
sometimes, i wish i was born passionate in programming, not in writing (and lucky you if you're passionate in both)
writing makes me overly happy and overly depressed
writing fucking sucks.

I don't remember what story it was, but I've seen one which number of readers spiked from 200 to 400 in a single day because someone mentioned it on Azarinth Healer discord. And that wasn't even the author, just some random person making a comment.Like... I dunno how it works nowadays, but I remember hearing about how in wattpad there was very little in terms of visibility for new stories... But if a popular author checked out your story perchance and made a comment about it, then your viewership might explode.
....................You know, in chinese urban novels, since 8+ years ago, they began to show MCs that know that the idiom "hard works is rewarded" is bullshit.i dont want to be that one guy who goes hard about "survivor bias" or "hard work does not pay off" but I think im starting to grow pessimistic each day

Three, actually.In general there are two types of successful writers.
1. Luck writers - people writing what they are passionate about and getting lucky.
2. People researching what is popular and catering to them and making a decent living (not famous).
People who *5 rated @K5Rakitan stories.
Neither of those are successful.People who *5 rated @K5Rakitan stories.
Anon said the truth.In general there are two types of successful writers.
1. Luck writers - people writing what they are passionate about and getting lucky.
2. People researching what is popular and catering to them and making a decent living (not famous).
In general, you write because you enjoy it or because you want to put a story out there that hasn’t been told. Your story.
Doing neither isn't enough. You need to do both carefully.Neither of those are successful.
No, you do it bashfully.Doing neither isn't enough. You need to do both carefully.
