Like many other authors, I’m super self-critical and a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to editing lmao. I’ll wear myself out going over it again and again, until I have to tell myself, “Dude, stop and just post it.” Otherwise, it feels like the edits will never end.

rainonvenus is my discord handle.

100% down. You can message me on here or if you'd rather talk on discord that works too. I miss having a community of writers to chat and yap ideas with.

I skimmed through your work and it’s genuinely really good. This isn’t about your writing it’s more about how stories are packaged and sold these days. There’s such a huge market right now for Light Novel, anime-inspired, Chinese, and Korean-style storytelling that it can be hard for more...

They'll start off acting by being really nice or saying they were inspired by your work, some of them even skim your story just to make it seem real. Always play it safe and maybe ask them some questions to see if they really even read it. It sucks because you're thinking someone took the time...

I'd say money but I don’t expect to make much from my current story. I just want people to see that I can tell a good story and start building trust in me as a writer. If things go well after I self-publish, that’s awesome—but my real hope is that readers stick around for what comes next. WCA...

Kingdom Hearts is a good one lmao. I literally always laugh when the Mickey Mouse gif comes round where he's in the all black Organization XIII hoodie. "Say fellas, did somebody mention the door to darkness?"

You blessed me right before my birthday on Friday. I'm super happy right now. Woke up to like 8 more comments from you, not counting the 9 you left the night before. I could genuinely jump and fly over the moon I'm so giddy!!! Thank you so very freaking much this was way more than I expected. I...

I hope you like it, and if you don't, thanks for giving it a try!

I'm both seething with envy and filled with joy for them! :blob_catflip: :blobtaco: As far as I can tell with the little bit of time I've spent live on here, readers who comment/engage with the story are super rare and make writers happy and excited. Thank you for being a super chill and nice...

Your new story cover is way cooler than the last one ngl. Massive kudos.

https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1834093/what-comes-after/ Mine’s a drama–horror story with a reverse “travel to another world” twist. It’s very character-focused and starts off at a slower pace to build atmosphere and depth. There’s no explicit sexual content (none at all, really), though...

https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1834093/what-comes-after/ My time to shine, baby! My story’s an anime-inspired zombie series that draws heavily from the early seasons of The Walking Dead—the tight pacing of Season 1 mixed with the character depth and dialogue of Season 2 (At least that's...

A very fair and normal thought to have. I just wrapped up my first month a few days ago, and trust me—engagement can vary a lot depending on several factors. It helps to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. What kind of story you’re writing, the tone and the content/genre all matter...

Eye catching. Cool. Trendy. These things come to mind. I had a more themed cover for my book at the start, even though it is an anime story. Swapped to a Light Novel vibe and saw a decent boost in views. It's just the environment these days. It won't make or break your story but if you're...

Sean of the Dead. The Walking Dead. Various Disney Halloween specials.

Personally, I used to keep a backlog of four or five chapters, then ended up posting them all at once because I got excited. The key is not to get too excited—you’ll be fine as long as you pace yourself. Having a backlog is usually helpful since it takes the stress off on days when things don’t...

I'm out here re-watching The Walking Dead for the ? time, playing Dying Light 1, watching Korean zombie-drama shows and wondering why and then it dawned on me. It truly is that time of the year. I feel alive again. :blob_highfive:

If by readers you mean views, that will come with time. Consistent updates at the same time each week, along with an attractive cover and synopsis can do wonders. If you mean the actual Readers stat tracked on the site, that’s a bit trickier. Honestly feels like luck. I’ve got about 5k views...

Hardest: Making sure I don't reuse certain phrases/words too close too one another after hours of writing. E.G too many instances of hands/eyes/gaze/etc. I'm really bad at that. Heaviest: Disturbing scenes. Just feel weird having to step into that characters head or having to describe it from...
