I've watched some writing classes videos in which Brandon Sanderson (the author of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive if you don't know him) talks about two types of writers: discovery and planner. ? It made me realise that I'm a thorough discovery case. I just sit down, have the characters in...

I find comfort in writing when depressed (and escape from reality) but my Mom is the same as you. When depressed, she doesn't have energy. ? Yep, exactly. My story gets too depressing when I write it in my gloomy states. I do get some good ideas (because my novel is psychological) but I have to...

Definitely BL for me and I also love writing it. I read some GL stories before but for some reason I didn't become engaged as much even when the story was interesting. Which is kind of strange considering I identify as bi. When it comes to fiction, I absolutely prefer reading about handsome boys...

For a lot of artistic people, writing is a very good therapy when depression overcomes them. It certainly works for me. My question is: Do you tend to write more when depressed or do you write more when you're happy? Do you write something entirely else than your current novel during your most...

Always! But it can't be music with singing because that's too distracting for me. ? Usually I go for some instrumental game music or relaxing ambient music with Japanese/Chinese melodies. I also find that my writing music can't be too dramatic or I can't focus either. I prefer music to stay in...

Very soon I'm reaching a 50 chapters milestone. ? Since I'm publishing one chapter a week, it means I've been consistent for a year now so I'm proud of myself just for sticking to it. I've always been writing even since I was a teenager but the discipline to edit my writing meticulously and...

I used to write in my first language but after I switched to English, I just can't do it anymore. For some reason, I express my ideas better in English whereas my Czech feels clumsy and not artistic enough. Also, I haven't read any novels in Czech for years and my employer is an international...

And I totally respect that someone doesn't like BL just as I don't enjoy gore or harem, for instance. But I'd never give a novel 1 star rating just because it's a genre I don't like. Yep, the filter system on SH is brilliant. ? RR should adopt something similar. It would make everyone happier.

Definitely more chill here but people are also less eager to comment. I observed that common SH readers are quite passive. I have 84 followers on RR which doesn't seem much but I write BL and most RR readers hate it by default so I consider it a miracle. However, my readers on RR comment quite a...

I always feel weird when promoting my work so I rarely do it but my novel Draconia Offline is a BL and NOT isekai (no, they don't get stuck in VR either). I can't guarantee you'll like it because it might not be your cup of tea but it's there if you feel like giving it a try. Best of luck, some...

I had an exemplary impostor syndrom when I started my first year as a PhD student. I thought everyone around me was much smarter and I got in only by pure luck. Hehe, how wrong I was! I even dare to think everyone in my class was thinking the same at that time! Then I got to know my classmates...

Do you think it's better to abandond the series when you don't know what to do about it anymore or just give it an abrupt ending? I hate forced endings that make little sense but no ending at all is excrutiating. :mad_s: Also, I often hesitate to start reading a long series when the author might...

I'm really sorry for self-promotion but actually my fiction Draconia Offline is quite political and focuses on power struggles between humans and four new fantasy races suddenly appearing on Earth (not an isekai, our Earth in future). I have to highligh that my protagonist is gay which might be...

Heh, I've been there when still at uni. My writing spree and inspiration would hit me late at night. But now that I'm working I need to be functional the next day. :ROFLMAO: And since I have to wake up much earlier than I had to for lectures, I'm usually super drowsy around 10 P.M. anyway. :sleep:

Definitely escapism... at least in my case. I consider writing the best therapy. :unsure: Some stories of mine will always stay unpublished for that exact reason. :ROFLMAO: But I also think it's an excellent hobby - very proactive if compared to reading or videogames. :geek:

Chapter 24 is out!
