Roughly, 400k for State of the Art, 55k for All I Wanted Was To Get A Skill At Level 10 Like Everyone Else, And about 35k for Neva Masquerade.

I am writing off market, and so far, am spending significantly more money on my books than I earn. Would I love to be able to live off my writing? Yes. Do I expect to be capable of? No. So what I write speaks to me and a few hundred of people. And I am perhaps influencing them, or making them...

About 60% of my story happens in a VRMMO, where computer and game physics rule. The other 40% is in the real world, where I try to be on the more realistic side... Despite throwing magical healing and levitation in.

The K' is not pronounceed. It stands for her tribe name. (So she's either "K'Nivi", or "Nivi of the Karé tribe") Imagine it like K in Knife or Knight. So her given name is just Nivi. Which is pronounced pretty much as you'd expect from the spelling! The tribe name, Karé, is pronounced...

My main story's protagonist names are all so... plausible and normal (21st century american or canadians) that google finds all sorts of real folks. My new LitRPG, though? K'nivi Karé links directly to her.

The main issue with using comma in my example is how the comma already included fron the "at least, " comes and muddies the sentence. [...] And he walked east, at least, he thought it was east, before he finally stopped to look at his map.

My poor Em-Dashes are getting vilified so much. On phone, they're so easy—just a "Hold-Down-button on Minus Sign". In word, a double tap of minus, or if you're like me, Alt-0151 does the trick. I used to use paranthesis to do the same thing, but I really don't think they have the same impact...

Best AI: humans pretending to be robots.

I cracked up at co-pilot's answer. If there is one thing I hate about AI responses is how they always try to end with some kind of question back to you. At first, I thought it was cute. Now, I just close the app after I get what I needed from it. I am not hurting its feelings if I choose not to...

A lot of words I happen to agree with, however. The better your prompt, the less throw-away output there is. Good prompting that requires absolutely no human touch up is extremely hard. Impossible, perhaps. Especially a novel of 80k+ words. But with proper prompting, it can get close. Or...

*sweats in GB GL across all my stories* I guess at least I didn't throw Futa, Harem or smut in there too.

According to your scale and my terrible self-esteem? Roughly 4~5. According to what people who love my stuff seem to think? Maybe 7? Would anyone reading it think it's a 7? No. Far from it. It's far too divise for that. Some people would likely rate it 2~3. But for some people, that same story...

I couldn't believe it when I heard from one of my readers how they found out about my story because people on another author's Discord server were discussing about it.

All of my stories share the same DNA of character-first. The plot, the world, the ethics are all in service to the character's journey. The system might be a weird mirror that allows them to see their action painted in a different light. The rules of the world exist because the character needs...

Paying forward, mostly. I read a ton of trans fix that helped me survive. Just doing my part for the next generation. Which is why I'll never go Kindle Unlimited with their rules against keeping content free online.

Going off the feedback I receive and my own very critical self-perception: Strengths: -Characterisation and fully developped internal worlds, -Clean, simple writing style, -Romantic and slice-of-life scenes. Weaknesses: -Wordy, -Glacial pace, -Refusal to time skip/tell, choosing instead of...

For my main series: A lesson against skewed data sets and paternalistic AIs, with a side of the way to hell is paved with the best of intentions, coupled with found family vibes and finding silver linings in the darkest of circumstances. For my newer one: you are more than what has been done to...

I'm still at the 2-3 times per day. Mostly when I'm waiting for something else, like data or shaders to build, or p4 file sync.

Stimulating all senses is good for immersion. Sound, texture, taste, smell, colours... Some people have fond memories associated with taste, and writing about it can help you reach those emotions.

I don't know if you've edited the chapter since the moment you posted your chapter, but I only saw 7 em-dash in it, which is far from excessive. I personally use them—A lot, actually—and I have far more than 7 in any given chapter. But I think that's because it's an entirely neurodivergent way...
