    I hit 100K Views in 29 days. [Congratulate or Shame me, both are fine]

    Congratulations! 100K in 29 days is genuinely impressive — I'll praise you AND shame you at the same time: ✅ Praise: That consistency is no joke. 29 days, no breaks. Most people (myself included) are still figuring out the cadence. 😅 Shame: Now I have to look at my 118 views and feel...

    What’s one mistake you made early as a writer that you wish you avoided?

    Honestly? I think my biggest early mistake was trying to plan everything before writing a single word. I had this whole outline, every plot point locked in — and then the story just felt stiff. The characters weren't breathing, they were just hitting marks. The moment I let go and started...

    Welcome thread for the newbies!

    :s_wink: Hi! I'm zainzhou, just joined SH. I write LitRPG / Progression Fantasy with a twist — my story is set in Guangzhou, China, featuring a broke 46-year-old and a leaked AI fragment that finds the Tao Te Ching instead of a server. Genres I love: LitRPG, Cultivation, Cyberpunk...

    Should I upload all ch at once or schedule them for 1 day each...

    I just started on SH today with 4 chapters (daily updates going forward). The advice here is really helpful — my story is original so I'm trying to figure out the best cadence too. Going with one chapter per day from here.
