the section you pasted into the box felt atmospheric. I think it's promising. The grammar can be fixed easily. The main thing is that you have a story that you want to tell. Please continue.

I hardly ever see a female driver where I live but it's quite a rural part of England. I'm sure in bigger towns and cities there are plenty. I would call them ma'am.

In the UK (depends where exactly you are in the country and who you are, that is your social class): mate, pal, fella, boss, guv, driver and sir. the latter two only if you're posh (or want to sound posh) haha.

Thank you. I'll try not tog et carried away. It's not quantity that counts the most, it's quality.

Oh, thank you. Who would have thought. You can teach new tricks to an old dog.

thanks for the advice. L

Strange. I use Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V copying and pasting formatted text from MS Office Word docx and it's never happened to me. Are using OpenDocument Text as a source? Or Is it perhaps LibreOffice that's not compatible with SH?

I'm afraid I wouldn't have a clue how to start it. My nephew created my profile pic from a photo. So my contribution to the "artwork" was providing my face. Haha He offered to create the artwork for the cover page, too, but then I found a decent photo in my album that captures the feeling of the...

thank you. So my instinct was right.

Someone messaged me on archiveofourown that they wanted to turn my book into a comic. Is it a scam? My book is a literary fiction. Little action, character driven, lots of inner monologues and reflections. Slow-burn. And around 800-900 pages. Admittedly I can't remember when I held a comic book...

I never measure art this way.

Love, being loved and being seen

No. I love them in different ways. haha

I don't envy you. I admire your resilience. I write literary fictions (sounds a bit earnest I know...) and I have all the time I need. No push, no expectations. I can wait for the inspiration to come. Fans will not breathe down my neck. By the time I start publishing, I will have had all my...

Yes, one has to ear putting typing that "The End" :-)

Awww, thank you. This is very helpful. Now I know I'm not misleading the ones who end up viewing my story using the "boys love" filter. Ah, I've just noticed... Very interesting profile name you have there... ;-)

I completed my book in 4 years. It has 209,131 words in 34 chapters. It's not just about drafting those 2,500 words. It's also about redrafting countless times. Then revisiting the text countless time. Not to mention editing it to industry standards. It's a lot of hard work. Having said that, I...

I see where you're coming from... Joanna Lumley is portrayed in my book, but not as a protagonist. Obviously, I'd love to see her play her role. Haha
