And the award for 'Topic with the most detrimental impact on my mental health goes to...' :ROFLMAO:

You're right. It would be more accurate to say 'slowly fingering, with a slight delay'. :ROFLMAO:

I do! But only because it used to suck soooooo much more than now, and I spent a whole year living and breathing improvement techniques. So now, whenever I see parts I don't like, I can step back and say, 'well, that part sucks; so how can we make it un-suck'. And it becomes a fun challenge /...

Thanks The funny thing is, that I am not particularly attracted to the big mega beefcake type either. But my search for 'roman soldier with dad bod' produced unsatisfactory results. :-P Oh, believe me, he would. I think that you have spoken as the consensus opinion! You are right. I have no...

I start with a first-person perspective, and then I contrive a reason for him to be in front of a mirror in the first few pages. Then I detail everything about them. No character development or personality links, just flat physical description, in minute details. Oh, and I make all my...

Remember that everyone, no matter how messed up, thinks they are the protagonist of their own story. They don't have a problem -- they are probably looking at everyone else and thinking how amoral or naïve everyone else is!

Is it a cop out to say 'confident' and 'intentional'? :ROFLMAO: I like a wide variety of writing styles, but what I love most is when author has clearly thought about their style and is doing something intentionally. For example, while my own writing / narration tends to be quite close to the...

What about SH being more 'chaotic' instead?

Only a few weeks into my posting, but it's been a bit of a crapshoot so far :-P. I am posting the same story on here, RR, Wattpad, and Inkitt, just to see how they all track (including once complete), and which community I like the most. So far, SH and RR are winning easily. I also think the...

Hey there Scribblers! So, not so much about my story content, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on which of the below images you like for my story Our Dark Prince, which is being posted here ongoing (two chapters a week, to be completed in November 2022). Definitely not scrounging for reads...

That would be harder, true. ? When I have done it, I take an easy shortcut and have multi 3rd person POV, so you can directly compare how two people experienced something in real time.

Yeah, as a relative newbie, the lack of any forums on Wattpad really confuses me. I know a lot of it was probably just full of shameless self-promotion, but it does make that whole site feel very... cold?

The first time I got chills was doing something like you described -- writing in a very 'talk to the readers directly' style of narration. In first person POV, it was the closest I have come to feeling more like an actor than a writer, giving a grand speech to an auditorium. It suits...

A harem of luscious concubines, lusting after the throne. No, not the gorgeous and eligible prince of the exotic land, but the throne itself....

Write it like a sketch artist draws a body? Put down the general shape, then the bones, then interesting bits of focus, then the rest of it as needed? It is common to want polished perfection on the first cut, but that can totally block the brain. Give yourself permission to 'sketch', and...

7? I am diligent as hell. My current story is vaguely Ancient Greek in theme, so practically every character and place and horse has some logic to its name. Like, all the Five main cities in my world are vaguely Classical Antiquity, but I have thrown in little touches, like one has more...

I am a terrible reader on ANY site, hence why I try not to scrounge for attention, because I definitely won't reciprocate :-P. But for writing, the book I am positing is my first ever one, so I am putting it on SH, RR, WP and Inkitt, just to see how they all fare, and what I like and dislike...

Legit? Pirating? Hmmm that is difficult to answer. But if you provide your credit card details and a copy of your story in word format, our helpful theiv--I mean technicians, can look into the matter.

Arrogant? No. Absolutely fucking terrified to have other humans read my work? Yes.

I have published on both Amazon and on ScribbleHub / RoyalRoad / Wattpad. One thing to consider is that if you are talking about an ebook specifically, Amazon reserves the rights to not be undercut on price (this is for any ebook sold on the platform, totally separate from any Select exclusivity...
