I was able to build my audience by posting just once a week :blob_cookie: my advice would be to build up a ton of chapters before you first start publishing, that way you have a large buffer in case you're busy or fall behind on writing! Just keep grinding- if your story is good, people will...

I sometimes enjoy it if like patriotism is a trait of the character :blob_popcorn: if the novel itself is taking it seriously, it can be a bit off-putting, though :sweat_smile:

How the heck are you able to listen to music while you write :blob_dizzy: I hear a slight noise from 50 chicken-lengths away and I lose my focus for 2+ minutes

Yeah, like a lot of the other bois here, I just have it in my head :blob_popcorn: IMO, all you really need is the over-arching thing and then you can add specifics (like character interactions) as you go. If the general plot line is too difficult to keep track of in your head, there's a chance...

Corty ? are you drinking again?

A lot of people make a big deal about getting new readers, but that's really not the thing you gotta worry about IMO :blob_sweat: People's focus should really be on retaining the readers they have:blob_cookie:. Even if you only get a single new reader per chapter, if you can retain the ones you...

I love my readers :blobsip: they are so nice and stuff and their support has been amazing~ With that being said, I do love messing with them :blob_hide: The majority of my readers are from places in Europe/Asia, so they always get annoyed when I use imperial units in my chapters :blob_evil...

It's not the size of the chapter that matters, it's the quality of the words that counts :blob_wink:

I actually don't! It's really a struggle sometimes though :blob_sweat: not having curses really can limit the impact of a verbal fight / limit the speech traits you can give to a character. In some cases, I have characters about to swear but then they get cut off halfway through lol that's a...

I love writing but my least favorite part is how bad I am at it :blob_no: I'm a good reader so I know what needs to be fixed / improved but I lack the skill to actually do it and it drives me crazy lol

I'm not sure if it quite holds up to when I first read it, but The Novel's Extra actually blew me away the first time I've read it :blob_cookie: It's a Korean one with some cliches but man I loved it lol

I can't freaking stand all of the websites pirating my story :blob_cringe: it drives me absolutely crazy. There's like nothing I can do without getting a lawyer to file DMCA things and since most are hosted internationally, the most they can do is take it off of Google Search :blob_teary: it's...

You can always just come up with an 100-word long title that describes your story and list every single tag in brackets so that people know at a glance what your story is about :blob_hide: Better yet, just put your whole first chapter in the title so that people can get hooked on it without even...

Corty be spittin bars ?

Honestly, I think the hardest part isn't finding readers (they will come with an interesting enough title/description/cover/premise) but keeping them :blob_popcorn: . You gotta treat them well and give them yummy snacks and make sure they get their weekly walks :blob_nom: Honestly, I think...
