    no idea how to measure performance

    if in one of my tag's rankings I am just about to break onto page 2 out of 7 pages. another tag on the same book, i've managed to hit page 3 out of 11. is this doing at least half decent? I've never had any real readers or any performance before, this is all new to me.

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

    no. I don't know. the hell does it matter what computer you use, to type on a keyboard and save a text file. A freaking homeless person, could wander into a library and write a novel on here. Writing is the great equalizer. "I'm losing...". words have meaning. its all on y-o-u. if I listened...

    First-Person POV or Third-Person / Author POV?

    i'm not going to address any particular post, i'm just going to say I don't agree with labeling first person as some inferior writing thing, and leave it at that. to me, first person when I was young, I thought of it as "detective novel style". For certain kinds of stories, I think it might well...

    Since we're talking about writing experiences...

    ... and that's why I nicknamed Eldoria? "the Oracle". Its like a "Ted Talk". I could likely comb the archives here, and assemble all her little "Ted Talks" and put together a creative writing textbook that a university English department would use. The usual thing: me: what do you think of...

    First-Person POV or Third-Person / Author POV?

    I used to do third person all the time, because that's how a lot of paperbacks I read were. I tried first person a couple times and didn;t like the results. Years later,I tried first person again, and suddenly started liking the results. First person si now my go-to thing. Caveat. SInce I do a...

    Feedback on cover

    my quick take on it nothing lost. I thought this looks more 3-d. maybe gives it some "brought forwards" some. I dunno.

    Do authors want readers to point out spelling/typos in comments?

    I just thought you were from England, to be honest. or maybe you golfed, and T-time was "tee time".

    How was your first writing experience?

    yeah, this. my first chapter of my first novel, and this was years ago. 25 pages of single spaced MW Word. Cold open on what would be the antagonist, third person. I liked reading it, it was... "hey, this reads like a chapter in a real novel!" everyone else liked it, the same way. (I got accused...

    Its official! (re)release of... "the Third Time is the Charm: the Good Stuff"

    wait a cotton picking minute here. this is the old... three monkey nick-knack. speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil. Question... what in the *&^% is that last extra monkey doing? Look where his hands are, and he's smiling. this is monkey porn! @Eldoria : its okay, little one. I haven't...

    Real-Life Horrors

    stars *definitely* have a lifespan. It depends upon how much hydrogen coalesced in their formation. But every star will eventually run out of fuel. Long before that though, our own star... the sun. It will swell so big it fries us. nothing is forever. Not the earth, not the sun... nor even the...

    Well, I might start posting here after all.

    maybe a lot of writers are here, just because they got kicked around somewhere else. I know I am. what's the old clay-mation they still play around christmas every year for kids? "the island of misfit toys". maybe, we're "the island of misfit writers". I just don't want to be a dentist... lol...

    Well, I might start posting here after all.

    so? come here. incubate here. editing your works. maybe making new ones. polishing your schtick that seems to already work, and resonate with readers. maybe, one day you'll go back. new account. throw up something awesome. no talking in the forums. no shouts and swaps. no ads. and have the last...

    How long should the story and chapters be?

    I guess that's a key point to remember. I'm looking "past" all this webnovel experience, to publishing on KU one day. where I assume regular writing sentences, regular length paragraphs, regular length chapters... aren't things you get scolded for.

    Femdom mafia

    femdom has a history. handcuffs and riding crops always *did* get giggles out of everyone for naughty jokes. and that goes back a while. and, when its the girl doing it to the guy, it always got *more* giggles. if you go back to historical naughty stories, there were two places to read girl...

    How long should the story and chapters be?

    I can't answer this one, as I bring my "paperback sensibilities" with me. the prevalence of itty bitty chapters, and those annoying one, MAYbe two sentence paragraphs? I find personally annoying. like I'm reading a pamphlet, not a real book. so, you can't go by me. I insist on writing, as if...

    How to move forward?

    recommend chugging monster energy (original green) until your p!ss looks like flourescent green antifreeze. for my money's worth, there's no greater thing than what looks like pee that will glow under a ultraviolet light.

    How to move forward?

    ever see the movie "Pulp Fiction" ? then you'll get this (adjusted) quote. "You write through that sh!t" just... keep writing. now, to help you philosophically understand this. "Airborne" Rangers. You know, special forces. The guys that jump out of perfectly good airplanes with knives in...

    How did you feel at the end of your first story?

    first book project, a long time ago. ---------------------------------------------------- what today would be fanfic, wasn't called that back then. author of a series died, I thought I knew what his ending "should be". some individual chapters were pretty cool, but overall I was a noob. MC was...

    Question for research; role reversal stories

    yes, how wonderful that would be. humans would then be nothing more than advanced earthworms. earthworms, if everyone didn't already know? all worms have both male and female sex organs. when they meet to mate, any two will do. they line up with each other, basically in a 69 position...and mate...

    Seeking Hardboiled Critique: Does the atmosphere hit hard enough?

    OP my honest advice. I'm no expert, but you would be looking for, I think, a certain person with the following characteristics: 1) they speak your language, fluently. 2) they speak English, again fluently or good enough. 3) that would eliminate the problem, if it is a translation thing. 4) if...
