    What comes first: Character or Plot

    I would say first thought is the main character. Of course you have to start with a hero then you have to do plot. I mean both are important but I’d think most would come up with a character then, have ideas about plot. One reinforces the other. I would say most important is plot, but if you...

    'Sugar Mommy' or 'Dommy Mommy' character

    Milf is a fetish for a reason. Though I will say sugar mama would probably work more in the long term than dommy momma. If a person has been emotionally and mentally abused by someone that was supposed to take care of them they aren’t going to turn to a dominant for affection and intimacy. Well...

    How to write synopsis?

    More details. Some more foreshadowing. Names. If you’ve got any books with blurbs in the back or book jackets try looking at them for inspiration.

    Rising panic?

    Rising panic implies time. As in starts small and shoots thru the roof. You have the injury and the freak out within a few sentences. Stretch it out a little more maybe a little more combat to distract your fmc from realizing what just happened as she slowly realizes what happened and starts to...

    How does the Trending series ranking work?

    Or you could use the ranking thru specific tags then do chapters views ratings reviews and whether the story is completed or not. Honestly I don’t really look at the trending in the homepage so much as a reader. I mean if there’s a book I know in there I might look at the ranking maybe tell the...

    Recommendations Pacifist dungeon core that's still a dungeon

    Blue Core by Inadvisably Compelled. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/39143/blue-core/ Not so much a challenge with rewards as a sentient dungeon core that dislikes killing people. Can’t say it doesn’t get involved in politics but more it has to because it’s a Power that can later in the series...

    Most Hype Moment ever in a novel?

    I’m sure there are others I’ve read but… The Primal Hunter book 10 final secret boss of the section of the dungeon the MC and their party are in. Most intense fight of that book and probably one of the best fights in the series. for something more mainstream I think the finale of season 1 of...

    How to make friends?

    Definitely use your interests as a gateway to meet people. You said fighting and parkour? Try a boxing gym or if available a parkour gym/studio. For the more scholarly pursuits I suggest the library. Maybe one in your area has a book club or something like that. If all else fails trying googling...

    Writer's Block: Does writing a novel on the side allow you to refresh your mind?

    Sometimes taking a break from writing to do something else can recharge the batteries and build up creative juices for a project. If ideas for another novel are running thru your head then by all means write another story. However remember not to neglect your first story. If it’s burnout or...

    Ideal length for the first book in a new series?

    I’d say yes it’s a little long. Not every book needs to end after an amazing climax. Zogarth the guy who writes The Primal Hunter on Royalroad ends his books wherever he can to get it published by Amazon. It works out for him because he’s on book 15 and still writing so the story doesn’t feel so...

    What are some major milestones to track for your stories?

    Not everyone obsesses. But I think as a reader more than an author the stats that are most important are number of chapters, # of readers, # of likes, # of views, and the star rating of the story and how many reviews there are. Thats not necessarily in order of importance and if it’s a 4-5 star...

    Reaching Beyond Heaven : My Cultivation Had No Negative Effects .

    This is not the way to promote your book. Buckle down write more interact with your readers have them favorite and write reviews on your work. This isn’t a thing where you will become instantly popular because of a few chapters. Most minimally successful writers have to wait until their stories...

    How detailed are your environments?

    Honestly not really. I mean HP makes it pretty clear that Hogwarts is massive so while the details were obviously different from what I pictured in my head the scale was correct. I think your problem is expectations. I’m also pretty sure that isnt much of a castle more of a fort. I would do some...

    How fast can you read?

    I got to 900 I don’t think I missed any words cause I didn’t loose focus and try to fill in any blanks. It was pretty difficult though I don’t think I could have done it for long. I’d say I can read actual books around 450 wpm maybe more. I remember that I reread The Lightning Thief by Rick...

    Is it worth reposting your story?

    Don’t know how many chapter you have but it might be worth it. If you have at least 50 chapters maybe try with twenty. Do a grammatical/editorial overhaul and try reformatting it. If the readers before the new version then continue and write your chapters that way going forwards if they don’t...

    Is it too risky to have a 3.300 words first chapter?

    It all depends. As a first chapter you want to draw people in, however, if you go to long it can get to cluttered. I guess all I can say is context matters if someone comments after reading the chapter that it’s too long you might want to give the chapter to an editor to doublecheck it. If it’s...

    Why is no one reading my novel??

    You’re an idiot. You’ve posted five chapters of ONE story you aren’t Tolkien. Especially since you posted three a few months ago and two within the last few days. You need consistent uploads to generate readers. Also a lot of longtime and consistent users of Scribblehub don’t start reading...
