Doing fine. I've published one, another is in editing stage, two more finished drafts, two halfway through the first draft before I petered out (but I will return to both), one in planning stage that I'm going to start writing in a couple weeks, and one I've been thinking about for a year or so now but never got around to actually write.

>>11703669
What's the name of the published one?

>>11703669
This guy writes Fantasy, I just know it!!

Too busy being paralysed by fear and having no idea where I want my story to go. I've taken to reading a fucking thriller novel in hopes that I can convince myself that any idiot can get published if they perservere.

>>11703597
Shoot me now (Don't really, I'll be okay..). But yeah, do it.

For a year I’ve been writing a novel by hand in a series of notebooks. Last night I finished the book, feeling very accomplished. Then today I transcribed it into Word. Turns out it’s 41 pages. Wtf? Guess my handwriting is big.

>>11703669
Tell us the name of your book anon. Don't you want a bunch of pseuds to tell you, a published author, what's wrong with your work?

>>11703745
How is your hand writing that fucking big? Return to the swamp from whence thy came.

I’m published

Reputable too, not just some internet erotica site or amazon self-publishing

I have had two poems published this summer in the same venue. It's kind of a weird off-beat website based out of Detroit. They have a decent social media presence but it hasn't exactly sent many accolades flowing my way.

My hope is to continue to get poems published, hopefully in venues with higher profiles, until I pick up some notice or momentum among poetry watchers. Hopefully, also, by that point I'll have enough poems to fill a chapbook.

I'm going to buy on Amazon your books, my anonymous friends, just tell me their titles! I know that it can be difficult and I just want to support you. Maybe you'll earn a fan!

Word count is what matters. How many words does the document have? Anything below 60k is not even novel-tier.

The Straggler's Mask. You may have seen me talk about it here a couple times.

>>11703865
I showed you mine, now show me yours.

I’m ghost writing some guy’s shitty book

Got a Best of the Net nomination for a short story I published a couple months ago. That’s the good news. Bad news is my latest story is the best thing I’ve ever written yet it is getting rejected all over the place and I’m getting kinda bummed about it.

He also makes these threads then immediately plugs the book.

It’s like 13k

Pages and pages of cool scenes written down over the years that I have to string together into a cohesive narrative.

I have no drive to write, play guitar, draw, or do anything. All I do is read and watch anime and occasionally write a page or two. How to fix this /lit/?

That's a short story

Yo', what's up with so many Fins trying to get in on the english book market? Not trying to be a faggot, you're just like, the fifth swedish writer I've seen here.
