Oh, good!!! I’m so glad! ? I hate to see anyone’s story struggle not because of any inherent fault, but just because the process of serialization can take some getting used to. I’m rooting for you!

I would say… a 6 also LOL. I think I could box in the 7-7.5 weight class if I really put my head down and worked on some of my more glaring perennial issues (pacing…), but as is, I would stick myself in “okay, but not exceptional” jail.

I like them in theory, but the execution often falls flat for… a number of reasons LOL. Other people have already harped on harem stories that treat women like collectibles to be gathered, admired once, or twice, and then thrown away, but I’d also like to say that I wish I could find more harem...

Oh, absolutely, although my rationale is slightly different than yours—I post online to keep myself accountable because I’ve learned from experience that without an external motivator I will let my work rot for MONTHS lmao. So if I miss an upload or get stuck in writer’s block, I get frustrated...

I totally get where you’re coming from, especially re: connecting strongly to your OCs ? Honestly, not to give unsolicited advice, but I really *would* consider taking your story back down and reuploading it gradually! You certainly wouldn’t be the first SH writer to do it, and it absolutely...

AHHHH THAT’S SO CUTE ???

Doesn’t have to just be from SH! What interaction have you had with a reader that’s left a positive impression on you? I’ve had a couple of readers say that they’ve recommended my story to friends or that they kept thinking about a chapter way after they read it and that sent me to the...

If you post your work here on ScribbleHub, do you have a specific goal in mind? A certain number of readers, enough of a support base for a Patreon, a few commenters that follow along for every update, just a way to keep yourself accountable, etc?

Compared to other web novel sites, SH actually has pretty good visibility for new authors! *Everyone else has already mentioned that consistency is key *Take advantage of the tagging system! You can use up to 25, so throw on as many as you can (provided they’re accurate!) *Make sure your...

Even when things are hopeless, even when the circumstances are dire, even if it never gets you anywhere important, there’s value in offering kindness.

LOL, we’re in the same boat; those are my weaknesses too

Ahh, I totally know the feeling, I used to have that problem as well! I’d get so stuck on endlessly re-working chapters that not only would I never publish anything, I’d depress myself into not writing at all because I could never meet my own standards. I don’t know if this will be useful to...

I really liked Last Days by Adam Neville, although the ending wasn’t my favorite lol. 70s cults, supernatural and psychological horror, etc. Gone to See the River Man by Kristopher Triana is a shorter read, atmospheric, a bit gruesome, about a woman who goes on a journey at the behest of her...

You can tackle this question however you like—maybe 3 things you like about your own writing and 3 things you don’t, or what’s easiest for you to write versus what’s the most difficult, etc etc. Maybe you love world-building but struggle with pacing, or you think your dialogue is really strong...

I’m a big fan of darker GL (though I do like them to have happy endings lol), so if anyone has any recs I’d love to hear them!

Just curious!

My mom is very supportive in… the sense that I tell her how my writing is going and what my word count is and she congratulates me, but she asked me once what I write *about* and I had to very gently tell her it was NOT anything you’d ever want to share with your parents LMAO.

Awwww that’s so sweet!!!! ? Honestly, sometimes it really does take just one person reading along as you write to push you to keep going. Those regular comments, even if they’re only a few words, are such a lovely reminder that to at least SOMEONE out there, what you have to say mattered a...

I'm a HUUUGE fan of "power runs in the family"--maybe not necessarily in the sort of scenario you're describing, but I think settings with inherited power give you so many opportunities for family drama, political intrigue, and fascinating worldbuilding.

Adderall… And/or a nice iced coffee if I want to sleep that night ?
