    Writing How to control "deviations" from your overall plot? (without deceiving readers)

    As of at the moment, the next chapter that I am going to be publishing will pretty much be where the sex scene is. No fade-to-black in this one, but I will be keeping a version like that as backup. I'm almost 30 chapters deep already, and a few of the arcs have been quite slow, so I will just...

    Well, I might start posting here after all.

    I think it is when you get a group of mates together to play instruments and sing your favourite songs 🤔

    How long should the story and chapters be?

    When I first started writing my web-novel, I was averaging 5000 words per chapter. After a massive revision, I found that with my story, prose, and pacing my sweet-spot is around 1500 - 2000 words. But, in saying that; you may find your own niche of readers that may actually prefer your 5000...

    Don't worry, I plan alright. If anything, I might even over-plan which is probably what's making me overthink 😂

    How to move forward?

    If you are demotivated by the interactions that you have on your book, then maybe I should just give up writing. (in case my sarcasm doesn't carry over through my comment) You are doing great. Just keep doing what you are doing and publish your chapters consistently and you'll be fine.

    Writing How to control "deviations" from your overall plot? (without deceiving readers)

    Hmm...this may sound like quite a silly question, (please understand this from an author's perspective, I don't want to be misunderstood) but do you think that a would somewhat count as an explicit scene? I don't remember exactly where I mentioned it, but that initial scene is important for one...

    cover images

    You make a fair point, I have always wondered about that too. Even when it comes to uploading it, image needs to be less than 2MB in file size. I have had to compress both my cover images whenever I upload it onto Scribble Hub. But idk, it's possible that it's just a limitation of the website.

    Show me your retcon skills.

    I love that, and I love that you were able to experience that. Hoping maybe one of these days I can come across that experience for myself too. :) Have you ever considered doing a spin-off series or maybe even a different series for this character? Would be interesting to see how else they may...

    Show me your retcon skills.

    ooh im curious to know more about this, though! What could have been the reason why readers would mistake it for a retcon? Was it the structuring? i wish I had the patience and ability to do what you do T_T One of these days I will probably write a fanfic...and it will probably be terrible 😂...

    Show me your retcon skills.

    omg, the eye situation almost happened to me too. It was actually soo close to it being published with one of my characters changing their eye-colour halfway through the story because I forgot lol Ah, the classic "task failed successfully" situation haha do you keep a notepad or a google drive...

    Show me your retcon skills.

    Okay, it finally happened. I had to retcon something over the silliest reason (one of my characters fired a bow but like, where did she get the bow from? 🤔) Now I want to hear the silliest or oddest reason that you have had to retcon something in your novel.

    How to write previous relationships.

    It's amazing how a simple change of perspective on your own work can open up the way to different creative avenues. And it's quite cool that you came across your just because you decided to edit in reverse.

    How to write previous relationships.

    Hang on, you mentioned that in the future it will be referenced multiple times, right? So, instead of racking your brain trying to write something out that you may possibly over-explain anyway, why don't you let the reader's imagination do the explaining for you? Infer, my friend. It can be...

    Good or Mad? My plot idea.

    What they said^ In terms of dark-fantasy, very ordinary. But doesn't mean you shouldn't write it. Maybe add in a twist or two that affects the overall arc of the story?

    To authors who write RPG-style stories: I have a question.

    I mean...you technically don't have to (keep your protagonist from turning into a straight-up murdering hobo)?
