    20k words for Main Character Illustration

    Saving this for when I reach 20K. Will help with my visualization. I'm terrible at drawing. Hopefully you're still up for it by then. At my current pace, it should take 2 months give or take to reach the 20k threshold.

    What should I write?

    Uhm... how about a pointless story about a gay insect that somehow turns human?

    Recommendations Smart MC

    I find that it matters what type of smart your character is. Intelligence isn't always evident in people, and it can be circumstantial. Someone who barely knows how to read is intelligent in a crowd that can't read at all. I mention type because that also matters in determining character...

    Looking For Something to Read

    Oh, I almost passed, but my story is written in past tense. I've never come across any good stories written in present tense, so I can't recommend any.

    Does this book cover make you want to check my story out?

    LOL. I would love nothing more than to do this, but it wouldn't take readers long to realize they've been baited and leave bad reviews. Ah, I for sure know how it feels getting a book, being hyped to read it due to the cover only to be disappointed by the content. I will try my very best to...

    Does this book cover make you want to check my story out?

    Lol... I'm not sure. My internet kind of had a seizure and reloaded the same page, so I clicked on post again only to find out I made the thread already.

    Does this book cover make you want to check my story out?

    So I made a book cover for my story using a free template I found online. I really like it, but I'm not too sure it will draw readers in. What do you think?

    General Lounge

    Guys, I made a new cover for my story, but I don't know where to go in the forums to get opinions on whether it's good or bad. Can anyone direct me to the right thread?

    Do you only post your stories on scribblehub?

    So sorry to hear about your co-author. I pray and truly hope that you one day feel comfortable writing again. So sorry for your loss.

    Do you only post your stories on scribblehub?

    So I was thinking of ways to get more people to read my story and so I asked around, it turns out I'm allowed to post my story on other sites. However I was wondering if people actually did that, that's why I'm making this thread. Do you only post your stories on SH? If yes, why? If no, why and...

    Does anyone want to critique my story?

    Ah, I know I tend to get lost in descriptions too, and I am aware a big chunk of backstory was skipped over. That is probably why I describe things as they appear, so the reader doesn't get confused as they read. In future arcs I will try and incorporate the lead's backstory more. I started...

    Annoying rom com with dense MC

    Hehehe. Maybe I could write a short story using this format. Thanks for the idea. I'm going to make it super smutty too. My perverted brain won't let me write something completely pure. There either has to be heart wrenching tragedy, plenty violence and gore or incredibly weird and perverted...

    Why aren't people using quotes and dialogue tags?

    *covering face in shame* I actually came really close to writing like that. The way I got to scribblehub was through Novelupdates. I thought the user base would essentially be the same, if not, then it'll be really similar. A lot of the translated work I read used tags like those. It never...

    Does anyone want to critique my story?

    Thanks for pointing out the identical twins part. I don't know how I missed that in edit. I'll go back and edit that. Lol. About the prolonged fight... I don't even know. I tend to get long winded and lost in descriptions when I write. The reason I take a week is mostly cause I'm editing things...

    Does anyone want to critique my story?

    So I'm writing a series called Eternal. It's just four chapters so far but I'm looking for constructive criticisms, thoughts and opinions. The synopsis isn't particularly good so I haven't been able to draw readers in, but I would like to know what works and what doesn't...

    Thoughts on the Scribble Hub Discord?

    I would consider joining if I could somehow boost my story on there by directing readers to my series. I could even handle the constant harassment of notifications that don't stop. I'm that desperate to get readers.

    Free First Chapter Feedback

    Oh, I see. Well, that's because the character is still quite young. He's currently 21. Though since the person narrating isn't 21 I still sometimes struggle with some things. A couple of people complained about the style of the first chapter; saying the character broke the fourth wall and they...

    Is all this just a waste of time?

    Reading through this thread doesn't fill me with confidence. I'm 27, dropped out of med school cause I couldn't afford it. I'd always dreamt of writing, so I sent a draft I wrote out. I was cheeky enough to ask for a review even if the story wouldn't get picked. The agent was kind enough to...

    How arrogant were you when you first came here

    Well, I'm three chapters into my story and have like 200 views. I feel like the king of the world. I think my experiences in life have taught me how to manage expectations. We all dream of success, but very few ever become successful. Right now I'm writing just to build a small audience. My...
