    Regarding Side Stories

    I commissioned the three with girls on them from Miftasee on Vgen. For typography, I used Canva. The Crimson Queen story was all Canva. I just made the page grey, outlined it with black, and put the text. Also found those little bats as a free asset.

    I tried writing one of those brooding protagonists before, but it is so boring to write. I have no idea how people can do it.

    Got a 4 star review from someone who didn't like my story. It was a nice review, and they said they thought the writing was good. However, the story was not their cup of tea.

    A protagonist not being on the cover is a red flag to me. It lets me know that the story will have a generic/boring MC.

    The worst is when I see a title and it says something like queen of darkness, but the protagonist is a male. Come on!

    To be fair, the novels targetted at straight women do this too with handsome men. Though, I prefer the protagonist to be on the cover.

    There is nothing compromising about doing this, in my opinion. It would be no different than working a job you dislike until you are able to make it popular. People are too extreme one way or the other. You don't need to cater to an audience, but neither should you write for no one (if you are...

    Yeah, I will not say it's impossible for you to make money with something niche. However, it will be like climbing a mountain and a long, grueling process. If you have the capabilities, you can try something popular to get your name out there. Maybe make 2-3 popular books, and then write what...

    Anyone can is not the same as saying anyone will. I think that majority of writers have the capability but won't. There is also a problem of writing style. For example, my kind of storytelling is one that is popular, and I enjoy writing it. It would be different if you didn't enjoy writing...

    Getting readers to pay is not easy. It requires consistency as well. Readers won't want to pay for an author who doesn't have consistent uploads. I will not pretend like it's easy. That's why I included the part about working hard.

    I have gotten 15 members on Patreon, of which 12 are paid. I genuinely think that anyone can do it, and I will continue working to prove it true. Admittedly, you do need some delusions of grandeur and an intuition for popularity. Well, maybe need is a strong word, and also I did work hard.

    Why are writers fighting the future AI?

    Hey, I wasn't talking about you. You're an author, not a writer.
