Get a feeling for the language you want to write in. If you can read the kind of stuff you want to write without problem, chances are you're ready to write yourself.

RR forums kinda remind me of a sadder version of LinkedIn, because everyone on RR is always self-promoting or trying to trash-talk the new guys and gals. LinkedIn at least does those things in such a pretentious and obnoxious way that nobody can take it seriously.

Would getting a stable well-paying job count as a superpower? And would it be evil to use it on myself and those I think deserve it?

Owl. I'd be a total hooter 🥁 Fluffy? Check. Flight? Check. Badass predator? Check. An image as bearer of supernatural secrets? Check.

On the whole "editing" discussion: If pulp writer/publisher had gotten away with unedited loose collections of letters or chapter releases, they totally would have done the current "patreon format" most web novels are doing. They just couldn't because the people then had actual expectations for...

You guys actually write stuff?!?

First, you wait for the masses to beg for a walkthrough, then you offer your help for maximal karma farming. Not the other way around...

Make him broke, depressed, and an alcoholic? Wait, you wanted a good poet, my bad. Those good with words tend to either use them like a bouquet of flowers or like a dagger in the dark. They either use their words to fill the world or use them so sparingly that it becomes something precious...
