AI is the bomb and can help your writing in many ways including speed and quality.

Advance with the world or get left behind, bitches.
You're already at a disadvantage in this field, and it's only going to get worse if you don't keep up.

Hi Rape-anon

I came back literally last night, I don't know what the fuck.

I've been away for a while.
What's this F game shit?

>>22683545
Kind of.
But do it anyway.

>>>22681896
>Just came to say that i just 'sold' my first poem. and that for all his namefaging Sange has been quite useful.
You're welcome.

>>22681457
Not everyone is a skitzo like you.
Most people are paying for the product, not for the right to feel legitimized in sharing their shit opinion.

>>22681362
Just a name.
Doesn't really mean anything.

>>22680558
>My patrons never say anything either. I don't get it.
Couple reasons this happens.
First, the fact of the matter is the vast majority of people don't comment in general. Normal people don't comment on youtube videos they are watching, the webnovels they are reading, or the patreons they subscribe to.
Patreon has even less interaction for the simple fact the paywall means less people. 1000 people may have read your webnovel - how many commented? Maybe 10? Now think how many patreons do you have? maybe 10? so you'll get 1 comment if your lucky, but then its even less likely because people are adverse to being the only one to comment. If the comment section is a wasteland someone who would normally comment is less likely to raise their hands and say what they think.

So, there you go.
That's my read on it anyway.

>>22680276
For the record, I don't drop N-bombs
I'm not about that.
Racism is a crime and all that.
Bitch.

>>22680289
Above average while not even being serious.
Bitch.

>>22469585
You're wrong.
I'm basing that purely off of the furry pic.

>>22469012
You haven't even seen his writing, bitch.

>pander to the adhd-ridden masses
More on this. People like to shit-talk Brandon Sanderson, but he does it right.
Characters and how they interact with each other is the whole fucking game. Fuck your prose, fuck your metaphors. Characters and dialog.
I mean, you need an interesting plot too, but your plot is nothing if you don't have the characters.
Got that, bitches?
If you don't got good characters you got NOTHING.

>>22274628
Give me a little more credit, bitch.

>>22274395
That is one mother-fucker of a sentence. You're going to turn a lot of readers away with a writing style like that. Depends on where you're trying to publish, I guess. For webnovels and amazon it is key to pander to the adhd-ridden masses and keep shit simple.

Just saying.

As an actual writer, unlike the rest of you fakes.
Let it sit in your head and wing it at first. Otherwise, you'll "outline" all the shit ideas that your brain will filter out as you keep going. When you eventually outline, think of it as a milestone.

I almost always do a quick "outline" prior to beginning a writing session unless I'm extremely clear on what I want to do with a scene.

Just stuff like:

-X on his way to meet with Y
-Checks gun ammunition
-they meet
-"hey joey blablabla sleep with the fishes" (actual good dialog that has been sticking out in my mind and I want to get to in the scene)
-shit goes down
-they shoot each other
-Joey becomes a zombie.

you get the fucking picture.

But you start outlining before writing a single page or getting to know your characters... I mean, sometimes that works? Maybe? I don't know, it sounds like shit to me.

Let's recap, bitches.

>Sit with an idea in your head unit you feel "inspired"
>Wing it at first
>Make some vague outlines for future scenes
>Make a rough outline directly prior to beginning a writing session of what you want to cover.

Take it from me, I'm a selfpublished author and once lied and said he had a netflix deal.

I know what I'm talking about.

Oh yeah, and draft as fast as you fucking can, then edit later. Don't be scared. Just do it.

>Phony
Hi, rape-anon.

>>22060197
No you won't, stop lying.

>>22059145
Starts off with an action then turns into throwing way too much back story and detail at me, totally takes me out of the moment.

Sometimes stuff like that works within context of a larger work, but this excerpt by itself, I gotta tell you, I hated it.

You got nice hand writing though.

>>22059133
Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on from time to time. If one is not available, your hand around a neck is a fine compromise. The neck of a whiskey bottle, that is.

Someone else mentioned writing solely while drunk.
I too find it helps.
Does anyone else feel the same?

>>22058948
Not sure if it's purple or if I just can't read cursive.
What you are doing is real cool though.

>>22056484
Good, you achieved the bare minimum.
Now do another 500.

>>22056319
You are the hero this city deserves.

>>22056270
With many projects in between.
Balls Above the World was a passion project to help me find myself. But I lost it.
