    I like chapter titles.

    Auto-save your Writing!

    Yeah, it does real-time checking, just like Word or another real office suite. My writing style may be a little different from yours though, I don't keep notes at all. Writing to a web form is super easy for me. I do make backups though.

    I use a chrome add on for that.

    What Happens Next?

    I just have a vague idea of what I want to write and then I just sit down and start typing. I know generally what I want the story to look like, but most of the time, I have no real solid idea of what I was going to do. As for what the readers want? I am clueless, to be honest, it never even...

    Auto-save your Writing!

    I lost a chapter due to the author's incompetence the other day (I accidentally clicked the browser close button instead of a tab close, oops!) It would be nice though if it was possible for the site itself to take pity on me, or as llamadragon suggested I could write in an actual word...

    Another way to see it is that Guy is not well endowed. :blob_shade:

    Feedback for a new story please :)

    I only managed to get through the first chapter but the major issues I am seeing are that you like to use one sentence paragraphs a lot. You also like to use unattributed quotes which make reading back forth dialog highly annoying to read. The content of your story also seems to be relying...

    Writing Prompt Skills I didn't think I'd use in the zombie apocalypse.

    The Zombie apocalypse ended up being much worse than anyone ever imagined. Not only did it spread fast, the zombies turned out to be much more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined. I was one of the lucky survivors, having been accidentally locked in a McDonald's walk in refrigerator...

    How do you deal with criticism?

    As an author, when you write a novel and release it to the public, you'll start to get people expressing their love of your work when they like it, but at the same time you'll have people who feel the need to make sometimes scathing remarks when they dislike it. The reason that they feel the...

    Where do you get your art for book covers?

    My embarrassing cover was made by me using MS Paint and a piece of clip art. I really need to make a real cover for my book. The worst part is that I even went to college for art. I can draw, I can paint, I just keep writing and never think to go back and address the cover.

    Looking for feedback on my sci-fi story (mostly prose and style)

    You have a lot of quotes that are not attributed to characters: "You should leave town." vs. johnny grumpily growled, "You should leave town." That can be confusing when you have back and forth conversations. Also, you do have a few weird misplaced words here and there, just do a quick edit...

    Writing Prompt ”I used to be an adventurer like you, but then....”

    A young man walked in to town, he was wearing a used sword at his waist on top of his well worn leather armor, he smiled at some of the women of the town as he headed over to the Adventurer's guild. He felt a shiver of excitement down his spine. He thought to himself, 'I can't believe it! I am...

    Implemented Fairer sorting of lists

    I honestly don't care about the system. I write because I enjoy writing. I love getting feedback and seeing that people enjoy my story, as anyone would, but I don't write for views. I only took offense at the character assassination of people writing more often or writing shorter chapters as...

    Implemented Fairer sorting of lists

    Are you saying those of us writing smaller word count chapters aren't working our butts off writing? I find this kind of rude. I write as time permits and post multiple times per day as I finish up. I understand some of you might think I am trying to game the system by posting so often, but the...

    I used to be even funnier...

    If I rediscovered writing from when I was younger I would treat them as writing prompts rather than finish them. Start from the beginning and rewrite the work using your current ability and voice. You'll find that you get a much better end product if you do.

    SSSC IV

    Ok, I wrote one. Hopefully my readers won't kill me for not writing an extra chapter for my series to do this! :blob_shade:
