Cheers. All in all, you have done really well.

Thank you ever so much for responding. This is exactly the kind of reassurance I need that I have not miscalculated posting my novel on SH.

I shall persevere.

Wow! Thanks for your perspective. A lot to take in but it will certainly help me understand how things work here. Oh, thank you. This is very reassuring. My take on being here is exactly the same as yours. And I not for a moment confuse appetite with popularity. My question might have been...

Yes, you are absolutely right. If you google it, English is usually pretty much on the top of the league table when it comes to the headwords. This is partly due to the fact that English absorbs words from everywhere. However, if you look at the league table based on the total possible word...

I'm grateful for your insight. What if comedy is woven into the story? What if there are scenes where you roll on the floor because of laughter? And yes, what if it's a contemporary fiction with slice‑of‑life elements. Not a sweet, low‑stakes webcomic in prose form, but rather a quiet emotional...

Ah, okay. So I must directly ask for feedback and link my story in my forum post. You've been very helpful. Thanks ever so much.

You probably have heard about the most famous case: The sorrows of young Werther by Goethe. After it had been published in several European cities young man dressed like Werther and committed suicide in a similar way as Werther. Y You might also be familiar with some examples from the world of...

Hi Folks, Do you think there's any appetite for contemporary fiction?

Just out of interest, how long did you, Folks wait for your first feedback after you had published your manuscript? and how did it feel waiting for it?
