    Scammer Board of Shame

    That's the scam. They get "Das Boot" when reported. "well, its *technically* legal" isn't an argument for allowing it to exist. at least not here, this isn't a courtroom. The newer scam is "the helpful professional editor". So far they don't get Das Boot, but they get held up for public...

    As a reader, what is your attention span tolerance for the minimum and maximum number of sentences in a paragraph?

    I wasn't getting my degree in anything that had to do with the English Department at college. I was a STEM lord. For those who might not know, to get an associates or a bachelors degree, they force you to take little clusters of classes outside of your major, and they call them electives. There...

    As a reader, what is your attention span tolerance for the minimum and maximum number of sentences in a paragraph?

    @Makimaam : honestly, I think we're both right. If only in our own way, in the type of case were picturing. equally honestly, I think we're both imagining the bad or worst case scenario, for the other point of view. my best analogy. you can make three identical pizzas, in the pizza shop. Dough...

    Writing Multiple POV vs. Single POV: Which fiction do you prefer to read as a reader, and which fiction do you prefer to write as an author?

    before I learned the proper terms for things, I used to call third person "novel by description". First person in my own language, was a "detective style novel". I don't study the more scientific end of things, and I recently learned there were different types of both first and third. I just...

    As a reader, what is your attention span tolerance for the minimum and maximum number of sentences in a paragraph?

    -------------------------------------- I like big beautiful sentences, in the same manner with which other people want a bigger slice of that blue ribbon cheesecake at the county fair. They say there's no such thing as too rich or too thin, so why can't cheesecake and sentences both share in...

    As a reader, what is your attention span tolerance for the minimum and maximum number of sentences in a paragraph?

    I guess i'm some sort of weirdo, but "reading" to me, is the act of reading all the words. To me, that's not reading. That's "sort of reading". Again, I guess I'm just a weirdo, with a weird definition of "reading". Wow. They already know what's going to happen, so they just skip paragraphs. I...

    Appetite for contemporary fiction?

    bite your tongue lol ------------------------------------------- I'll speak the truth. we call it sprawl. its just over-writing. characters introduced and written about, go nowhere. side arcs, again, go nowhere. "oh, my, god...millions of words! zillions of chapters! oh, my! (heart skips a...

    Is It Just Me?

    As a reader, what is your attention span tolerance for the minimum and maximum number of sentences in a paragraph?

    I'm going to say it.Mabel, cover your ears! as your own personal Isekai'd here from 1985 vintage paperback novel reading? I'll say it. Again. freaking one sentence paragraphs are weird. two sentence paragraphs, when you want to make some "point"? please. now what do I hear. Maybe 4 sentences...

    no idea how to measure performance

    advice in one place, was to not change your story for it. But if you can place a legit tag that's a shorter list on it? You have a way better chance of shining some (on KU)

    y'all I need help im losing motivation for my book

    motivation. Thats INTERNAL. nothing from the outside, should affect that. But we're human. This reminds me of the case that simply everyone will say "YOU are giving me stress!". When in fact, a professional will tell you. Stress is your REACTION, not something they give you. You can choose to...
