As I have said from the beginning, I wouldn't mind doing away with all popularity metrics and making the novels that appear on the front page truly random. It shouldn't be hard to implement and it would allow Novels that have been buried to have a chance for this attention everyone is fighting...

I seriously don't care about having first place, I do enjoy seeing my novel on the front page as most authors do. As for your question, I type about 50 words per minute give or take depending on if I have my thoughts in order. I can bang out about 2000-2400 words in an hour. I usually only spend...

The issue seems to be that people are afraid their works aren't being seen, they are looking for ways to "game the system" to get their "much better" novel above people who write a lot more than they do. I say do away with the trending list and put up a random Novel list. That is absolutely fair...

I am currently writing 4,350 words per day give or take. I edit my chapters down to get to that. My raws before I edit are usually closer 2500 words per chapter. I can easily write 8,500 words each day in my current allotted time. I work a full-time job and do several other hobbies if I had the...

I am not an unreasonable person though, I polled my readers and if they would like to see the format of my novel change to longer chapters I will oblige them. I don't need the "number one" spot to feel good about myself. I just write my story. If no one was reading my story I would still be...

When you are at the top of the trending list you get a ton of one-off accounts made by jealous authors who will rate you series one, two or three stars to drive your rating down. Longer chapters do not mean better stories, that's entirely your opinion. Those of us who write more than you can or...

Put your novel in your signature for one, also, if you have an account on NU and post to that forum, link it there. I also link my novel to my friends on Facebook and other social media sites.

I had the same problem with it. Between the title and then cover it appears to be condoning child pornography. Not to mention tags like incest, loli, smut, and orphans. It doesn't matter that the author chose a seemingly random picture to put with their story, it's disturbing and not just you...

As the author, it's your story to tell. There are no rules for how you should write the tale of your own creation aside from making sure that you are able to get your points across. I feel like a writer who follows too closely to a formula for success will most likely produce mediocre work.

Granted, I have removed your ability to feel hunger. Unfortunately, you can still die of malnutrition if you don't eat. I wish to transmigrate

Comments from your readers just point out the things they are seeing. They aren't always correct, but they often point out areas of weakness in your story. Even when you personally feel like everything seems right, that doesn't mean it is coming through exactly the way you meant it. Listen to...

45-year-old Larry Daniels was walking across his office in a hurry passing by the cubicles of his coworkers, uncomfortable pain in his midsection. Janice, the office gossip stopped him to chat, but eventually, he had to break free, moving quicker. Suddenly he couldn't hold it back. He began a...

I would think about the elements I enjoyed reading, and then start my own story and see where I could take it. Make up your own characters and own it. Even if you start out making something similar, at some point you'll end up in a new direction.

I love the related series feature on NU, I have read so many good stories because of it.

You work on the 9th floor, what's the secret behind that one piece of floor in the hallway that sounds different...

MS Paint and a prayer.

Don't overlook Black Mirror.

She sat down at the bar and he couldn't help looking at her, she had an otherworldly kind of beauty only right across her face was a long scar that gave her beauty an incredible edge, like she was someone who could fight. Rather than marring her beauty it just changed it from delicate to razor...

I liked your writing although it's not the kind of story I enjoy so I can't give content feedback. I would say you should go through and do some edits for formatting and grammar, maybe just read through and see if you still like how you wrote sections of it after not looking at it for a while (I...
