Hear me out. What if... the author is the only real reader and all the others are fakes? ?

Only if you have a novel that's suited for it. For example, my novel has stream chapters that are literally livestreams with chat and all. Something like that would be worth livestreaming since they could be part of the in-universe chat and if you're in-tune enough with the character, you could...

Honestly, no. I've always had the ability to pick apart what makes things and people tick, so I've never felt empty from seeing other people's achievements since I know I can do the same. What's made me feel empty is realizing that I just don't have enough time to be as good as other people or...

Sentient pride and ambition.

Consistency That's the ideal way to build an audience, yes. Pray to RNGesus or create a consistent update schedule containing some amount less than daily updates. Only if you're chasing numbers and don't care about writing. As a writer, as many as it takes. As a reader, the more the better. It...

Not a regular novel, but I played Idol Manager and went 'hey, this seems like a fun concept...'

Since you're stuck, here's a few suggestions on how to start and end chapters/scenes to get you going. Start: Start with your character doing something. Open in the middle of action and then continue from there Do a bit of narration to summarize events that happened previously/get the ball...

The part that goes "Move Onwards Not There Yet so let's just live" from RWBY volume 4's opening.

I think that the quote is interesting because it can be interpreted a lot of different ways. The obvious interpretation, and the one implied by Spiderman, is a sort of noblesse oblige. Because one has power, one should use it to protect and better those without. However, that's reading it as...

They're fun time wasters to write and read. Almost like playing a JRPG but only story and no grinding. I wouldn't rate any as high literature though. It's inherently a different standard.

These days, I write for time and not words because I can easily dip into 10K+ if I'm not careful. Also knock a good chunk off my IRL HP while I do that. Remember to take proper breaks peoples. Your fingers and body need it, especially as you get older.

Always. Discipline is very important in this manner.

Writing helps with the skill of formulating your thoughts into words. Personally, since I'm in the legal field, that's an essential skill to keep sharp. Hence continued writing. Also, writing stories is fun and a more impressive thing to say to people when they ask what your hobby is.

You are failing to grasp the fundamental difference between an interactive medium and a normal story. Sure, it's possible to write the same number of words, but for an interactive medium, the work isn't in the words, but in organizing the structures of each path and how they interact. An...

If you're talking Ren'py/VNs in general, hell no. It's not just writing at that point, but essentially directing a movie with everything you need to consider. Since you mentioned Twine though... It's easier, but time consuming. Last I checked, there wasn't an easy way to break a script to...

I'll give you a hint. There's a reason why the novels in Trending are under 'Rising' in the Sort by box when there's already activity, favorites, popularity, and readers.

Five minute thoughts. In my experience, at least one, no more than three. One so that you have a safety net if there's a day you can't write. No more than three because you'll be too far off from your reader then and it'll be hard to adjust if you get a good idea or see a critical flaw. Of...

Five minute thoughts. Keep the objective of your writing clear. If it's to entertain, know your audience and write what they would enjoy. If it's out of a desire to tell a particular story and vision, shut out everything else and just write it until you're done. Then look to how others react...
