that sounds very unsanitary

Just starting to heat up after winter. Around 28C.

why or? I would guess most writers read a lot. I know I do.

Yeah, I find that I get the most done late at night til the early morning. Not that I do it too often.

Unfortunately, you can't currently get alerts when novels you follow get updated. Basically the only ways to find out if there's an update are manually checking or following the author. If you're lucky, they'll post something on their profile when a chapter is released - which you will be...

turn on the music! It doesn't feel right writing without some good music playing!

Having a cover is definitely a must. Does it need to be done by an artist? Well, no. It'll probably look a whole lot better if you do, though. My own novel covers are pretty much thrown together with very little actual work done. They don't look great, but hey, one of them is still doing pretty...

tips for editing old writing: 1) The most obvious method - read through it, editing anything that stands out to you as you go along. 2) Read it aloud - Haven't really done this myself, but it can help a lot if you have problems with grammar or English is your second language. Anything that...

What he said. A good way to figure out most things in regards to writing is to read a bunch of books that you like and pay attention to how they do it.

What they said. My less successful story, I've edited the synopsis a half dozen times and i'm still not happy with it. My more successful one, I don't think I've ever edited it. Literally the only thing it says about the story is that it's about someone who reincarnated as a fork. That's it. and...

yep, fixed. oddly enough, I didn't get a notification for your reply here, and I promptly forgot about this until now, hence the extremely late reply. apologies.

It doesn't particularly matter when you post. On RRL most authors know the peak traffic times, and quite a few schedule their chapters then, in hopes of more people seeing their chapter. The result? The 'latest chapters' section during that time will only show a new chapter for a matter of...

on rrl there was dao of magic. not sure if it's still running.

Most of the writing prompts I see, I don't like. Either wrong genre for me or they just seem so generic and overused that I feel that they aren't worth wasting the time spent writing a reply.

wish it was the inverse... I've probably spent around 4 hours total on the last 30 seconds or so of the chapter i'm writing :(

Oh. Yeah, then request it.

...Or you just go to the edit page of your novel, scroll down the details page until you get to the list of tags for the novel, and add one.

It feels a bit weird for me. I have two novels - one of them popular, one of them not so much. When I release a chapter for the popular one, I usually don't have to wait long before I start getting comments (at least on rrl), so I usually check out a video on yt then check back so I can go...

It depends. I generally aim for 3500, but if i'm in the middle of a scene or something finishes before that, I often find myself going a bit shorter or longer than that, so my chapters vary more between 3300 and 4000. I would say that as long as something, or multiple things, happen in your...

I used to be able to change the text that was on a spoiler (like put a name instead of just 'spoiler') by doing something along the lines of , but it no longer appears to work. Even previous chapters where I had implemented this feature now only have 'spoiler' as the spoiler titles.
