This is it. If I write one more word, it'll be the furthest in this story I've ever been.

>Any progress on your novels?
Yes, I'm done now. I was never cut out for this but I hid behind the language barrier to avoid criticism for months, maintaining an illusion that was fun to live in while it lasted.
This will be my final post on /lit/. I've been humiliated and exposed as a fraud. My writing is pretentious, infantile, banal drivel. My observations are dull, my language grade school level. My tenses are mixed up, I use colloquialisms, ellipses and onomatopoeia.
I was never cut out for writing. I began writing my "book" on January 6th. Since then I've produced 56 thousand words for it. These words are a tide of garbage without value, without insight, without form. It was never real writing, it was anime and weebshit.
I have failed. Goodbye.

These memes really capture the essence of /wg/
You either smile and write in bliss or have the phantom of the ideal writer on your shoulders, putting you down and telling you to quit

Quick thread survey:

>Have you actually ever completed a novel?
>If so, how many?
>Word count of each?

Still basking in the afterglow of having a draft of my kid's fantasy novel complete. Now I have to figure out how to approach editing it. I think my plan is to make a map of each of the character journeys and then reread the draft without touching anything, rating each chapter on a few factors: character impact, stake-raising, and (since it's a kid's book) fun. Any other information I should catalog about what I've got before I decide what changes to make?

>>17904893

>>17904745
By insulting your own writing you are really just insulting yourself. Words are just a method of self expression, of communicating a message that comes from your brain. When you say your writing is terrible, it just means you have no respect for yourself and you don't see any way to become a better person.

We all hate ourselves here, anon, but at some point we believe ourselves to be better than others and with something to say, and that's what pushes us forward. I am the reason for all of my life sorrows. I am the little death that brings misery from the moment I awake from nightmares. I am at fault for failing myself. I am a disappointment to the entire human race. I will be forgotten in a generation.

But at least I'm not a faggot.

Why do vtuber fans try to force them on everyone, at this point is clear the OPs are chosen just to spite people

>>17904903
Can't say without knowing what you wrote. Does the narrative cover and covey the themes of your story?
If yes your good in my eyes, so long as the writing is engaging and plot well paced

Anon, it’s best if you don’t reply to him. That anon is a legit schizo who thinks weebs are all lurking just outside of his peripheral vision to get him. The last thread even mentioned him in the end.

>>17905230
There are no "weebs," just the one faggot who makes these threads and /sffg/ with vtuber OPs because mommy never gave him enough attention.

>>17905116
He's a fag for the anime shit, but there's consistently a thread up and running with good info in the OP, so I don't really care

>>17905130
I don't see him as the clown.

>>17904786

Writes because he enjoys it. Exclusively writes anime or smut

>>17905342
I don’t want people to recognize me and my shitty writing.

I keep doing this thing where I can’t sleep because I’m thinking about shit I want to write and then when I wake up I can’t remember it. I took some notes last night when I woke up at 3am after stress dreaming my way through a couple hours, but all it says it, “options, sad, steals things for control”

I felt like it was a pretty good idea at the time, but now I don’t remember what I was thinking about with that concept.

>>17905571
This is such a retarded post. If you are regularly having this problem then not only you should make sure to always write your ideas down, but also you should make sure to always write them down clearly. Bam, problem solved.

>>17905693
Y-you too

What's a good way to practice writing? I don't really feel confident or skilled enough to write full narratives yet.

>>17905922
Write short stories.
Try to write the same sentence in as many different ways as you can.
Find writing prompts.
Read books about the writing process and follow those exercises in those books of the OP.

>>17905922
Write whatever you want to write/whatever comes to mind "for fun", as often as possible, until you integrate the habit of regularly writing at a good pace and feel confident enough to start writing serious things.

I have something unfinished and I want to turn it into erotica. Is this wrong/will my characters hate me for it?

>>17906129
You are your characters and I assume everyone in this thread hates themselves.

disgusting anime thread, also unwelcoming for our christian anons as it is heretical. i am disappointed, /wg/. i thought we were better than this.

Would a story about a guy wondering around a city abusing women he knocked up and then abandoned be too edgy?
My job has led me to meet such individuals on a worryingly regular rate but I'm not sure whether I should be put it down as a story

>>17906225
I think it would be much more interesting to write a story about a guy wondering around a city and meeting a staggeringly high rate of men who abuse women they knock up and abandon. How he initially copes with it being happenstance. Then how he realizes it's far too often. How he tries to use the legal system to help the women but they end up thinking he's one of the abusers. The harem of women he's been helping returning the favor, only for all the abusive men to think they are all cheating on them with this guy. How he has to move to another town.

>>17906225
>>17906334
>wondering around

>>17906334
and add a twist of realism where the abused women go back to their abusers when given the slightest chance and end up turning on this guy trying to play captain save a hoe.

>>17906428
oops
>>17906432
chad dramatist, aristotle would be proud

>>17906432
This actually happened, during trial, and would be part of the story as an of hand reference to an event that had happened in the past
>>17906334
I dunno much about how the women view this besides being on a race to act as impossibily retarded as possible

Oh are you the other lawyer anon?

>>17906581
There's others?
I remember having a conversation with another anon about libel in burgerstan but that wasn't in a writing thread

>>17906600
From the law threads there's roughly six or so lawyers I've counted. One of the RR authors was a law student. I'm burgerpunk anon and I'm a lawyer.

>>17906624
More like burgerbutt

>>17906632

>>17906624
There's 7 of us and a student just in lit?!

>>17907736
Yeah, just the fact that you used the word "saccharine" betrays it

hey lit, I'm having a problem and I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to fix this.

I feel like my writing is just not dense enough. For example, I have a confrontation between two characters that has been building up for 40ish pages. Not a huge deal, but I feel like it should be bigger than the two pages it ended up being. I don't know the problem. I don't know if I'm missing detail, I honestly have no idea what is missing. Any help?

>Want to write a story from the perspective of a non-human creature
>No idea how to write it without just being 'human but with gimmick' which doesn't translate when doing it in their POV
Gonna have to put their fairy idea on the backburning and go back to writing about introverted girls who are dead inside and just wish the world would end their life.

>>17907827
loaded question. suspecting there to be a problem is not evidence of a problem. from another person's perspective two pages might be way too much. this seems more like a question intended for a beta reader.

Does a fantasy novel HAVE to evolve the genre or can it be good enough on prose alone?

>>17908433
Being good is good enough.

>>17908438
I'm sure many would disagree but I appreciate hearing this. I am nowhere near where I want to be but I will get there even if I die penniless.

>>17908433
Nothing "HAS" to do anything, there is no formula

>>17908433
>evolve the genre
A fantasy novel needs to be fun to read. That's it. If it happens to break new ground on top of that, great. If it breaks new ground but it sucks, its garbage.

>>17908433
Write what you want to read.

>>17908479
>A fantasy novel needs to be fun to read
that's a pretty massive step forward for fantasy and im not sure fans are ready for it yet

>>17908479
>>17908516
Honestly true, if you know how to make a story not just engaging but fun you are providing a service that is barely even being considered by 95% of published fantasy writers.

>>17908508
I want to read something that is beyond my skill to write.

I guess I kinda want to start writing.
Is royal road a decent site for experimentation? I've started a sort of loose anthology of a few characters to just experiment with writing and trying to get back in the groove of things. Just want some feedback though to see if I'm working in the right directions or if I'm lacking in areas.

I'm going to start doing major editing rewrites tonight. Never had a finished draft before so this is a first - I've only ever done copy editing for my short stories.

Welp, we've finally reached that point. /wg/ has collapsed into itself. We've gone from people asking how to quickly get famous in the writing world to people asking how to become notable in the world of /wg/. I'm going to start a /wgg/ in the catalog, for discussions of discussions of the writing craft. Popular topics will include how to be snarkier in your critique, how to camp the thread so you can stop someone else from choosing the OP image, and workshopping /wg/-related copypastas.

This project needs a bit more thought before it'll be ready for launch. I invite you all to contribute. Anyone who is interested should register a trip in this thread, and make sure to put /wgg/ in the name field so we know you're here for the writing general general discussion.

>>17904722
This is an opening I kind of want to pursue. It is my first time ever trying my hand at writing, tell me how I can improve.

A firework shrieked from Hahn’s mortar straight for Mother. She moved quickly, avoiding the blast just enough for the embers not to set her pale flammable skin alight. She let herself fall away down the side of the wall and began to run across horizontally in defiance gravity. Her hair and dress sagged towards the ground as her feet slapped the dockyard stone.

The old man knelt precariously on the edge of the wall. He fired his last firework.

Mother leapt away from the wall, somersaulting weightlessly and avoiding the firework’s raging blast. She landed with her feet touching the wall, turned on her heel and sprang back up, soaring for an instant, then lowering down to face the old man.

His prosthetic right arm splintered beneath her grip. Up close now she saw the fear in his aged eyes. She grinned from ear to ear with her fangs at full length. The old man made one last desperate bid to escape. Mother had no intention of letting him, but she hadn’t expected him to pull a small lever attached to his prosthetic arm which detached from the shoulder strap keeping it in place. Mother fought the urge to howl with laughter at the sight of the old man trying to run backwards without falling. He landed hard on his backside.

“What a novel toy!” said Mother, holding the prosthetic arm and waving it back at the old man. Her smile soured. She had planned to make his death slow and painful, but she couldn’t leave her daughters on their own for too long.

Then, Mother saw something she hadn’t noticed before. There was a cord, like piano wire, reaching from the shoulder end of the prosthetic to the old man’s strap attached to his shoulder. When the old man had taken several strides backwards she had heard an odd zip but thought little of it. Now she saw her mistake. She attempted to throw away the prosthetic arm, but it was too late. The old man pulled hard on the cord and another zipping sound followed.

Earlier in the day Hahn had spoken with the now deceased pyrotechnist to create this last-ditch trump card. The prosthetic arm was filled to the brim with firework powder, and the cord was attached to a piece of metal that would spark and set the whole thing alight when the cord was pulled hard enough. Hahn had feared the prosthetic had gotten too wet on the outside for the spark to catch.

The resulting explosion was the largest yet. Mother burst into flames and was eviscerated completely.

Hahn sat on the wet stone breathing raggedly. He smiled and sank back, panting and looking up at the night sky. Spitting rain tickled his face. He wanted to lay there forever and enjoy the moment, but he wasn’t a young man anymore. If he stayed out in the elements for much longer he would catch his death. And there was still Hress to worry about.

>>17908953
First, let me say congratulations: I am very talented at critique and I have decided to indulge you with a few minutes of my precious time. You are very fortunate that I will be doing your first critique. I actually specialize in intros!

Your selection is incredibly pretentious and awkwardly structured at the beginning. If this was intended to be a story, I have no clue because, as of the end of this selection, nothing is happening. The fact that nothing is happening and it's not happening to anyone provokes a lot of questions, and not in the good "what does it all mean" kind of way, but in the "is english your first language" kind of way. Like I literally cannot comprehend what you are saying. Are the demons and hell metaphorical? Or does our narrator actually physically travel there in his sleep?

You obviously have a lot of big ideas, but you haven't earned the reader's trust enough to start laying them on. I believe this is meant to be an introspective/philosophical novel. What I advise is that your narrator make himself vulnerable to the reader right away. He can do this by revealing something very personal and embarrassing about himself. You really can't go wrong there, it will provoke sympathy in the kindhearted and curiosity in the cruel. Like he doesn't need to shit his pants in the first line, but your narrator's flaws should make themselves apparent through inappropriate behavior which results in a negative outcome which he is unable to rationalize away as the result of something other than his own personal shortcomings. This can be expressed in a memory or flashback immediately following the hands thing (that statement was incredibly weird and has a lot of potential for becoming the basis of shameful behaviors), so that way you can keep the intro you have now while still gaining and holding the reader's attention.

Aside from that, you demonstrate good instincts. You didn't feel compelled to spill forth your character's physical description, you didn't launch into a description of their life story and morning routine, and you show surprisingly good use of rhythm in your sentence composition. Starting with the "Aggrandizement" line, the sentences begin gradually whittling themselves down. The sentences reach their minimal length at the "proof of concept" line, and begin widening back up. You start with a personal thought, which swaps at the "proof of concept" line into broader, more general observations about humanity in general. Obviously this is not a precise measure of word count in your sentences, more like a general outline of the structure. This concept could be tightened and more fully utilized to lead the writer along your train of thought: personal statements of descending length, switchover at the shortest sentence, broad generalizations of ascending length.

I believe you will develop great talent if you keep working and studying the craft.

>>17909224
Another anon gave you an in-depth review which seems fine. I would recommend looking at the block of text and making it less like a block of text. The page is your canvas.

Older women want to feel young and desired. Note that Edward Cullen had the power to permanently affix these traits to Bella, and that Christian Gray more or less treated Anastasia like she were an individual who was incapable of making decisions, while also fulfilling a young child's idea of what a parent is (disciplinary figure who periodically makes irrational decisions, and who possesses unlimited resources).

So ultimately vanilla sex is fine if you can find some way to make a woman feel like all responsibility for making decisions has been forcibly taken away from her, and the person who does it has a shitload of money or other resources.

I had an acquaintance tell me that I've basically written two and a half worth of books already (at 251k words) even though it's more or less still the 1st volume. But if I choose to do so I can split them as such since there happen to be good book-stopping points at some points which I didn't think about at the time. In a way, I've already finished two already and working on the third one.

>>17909844

>>17904893
I have completed one manuscript at 120,000 words. I doubt it will ever see the light of day, which blows because I had a tremendous amount of faith in my story and my message. But it was really my first attempt at writing something of that length, I was constantly trying to incorporate every single piece of advice I encountered during the drafting stage, and to top it all off I committed almost every major beginner's mistake (hmm... perhaps I should include several rambling, pointless scenes of the characters going about their day-to-day lives. exploring such depths of the human experience can only enrich the narrative by providing a sense of realism to my characters... it's incredibly tedious to write but I'm sure it'll be fun to read) so the whole thing came out looking bloated and confused in purpose and execution.

It's a fucking fact that you have a lower bar to meet if you're part of any population group but white men. Companies literally admit this, in fact they openly advertise it. The trick is to put yourself into a special snowflake category that doesn't actually require you to prove anything, such as "Masculine presenting queer asexual lesbian" or something.

>>17910757

YOOOO wazzup peeps, my dudes and dudettes, guess who just published a new chapter in the super cool, you really want to read and review, publication of awesomeness, that is totes availiable for free on fictionpress, so you can read! For everyone to read YES!

I mean, you're so cool and mysterious, like a sexy witch or darklord. You should like totally read and review my books and stuff! You're such a complicated person, so smart and well-read!

Just do it. Oh! It will be such an honour for me, you know, it is a HUGE honor for me to have YOUR REVIEW!!!! on my bookzies. bruh.

FICTIONPRESS -> SEARCH -> SYNTH PILL

I am currently writing the sequal on my first book ever yo. I'm pretty stoked about it soon being finished.

OH! you know what you should do!? You should like totally read my new chapter and shiet! Chapter 20 is called VAPORWAVE MALL? Yeah, you into that shit? That sum of that good good!

Here, have my poem:

Colorful clothes in pink and teal
Sun in the sky shining bold
At night neon lights up the Ferris-wheel
Such were the seasons of gold

As the sea mirrors moon from above
By the beach the campfire dances
There on the beach we first made love
City noise said we took our chances

Dead are the malls we used to enter
The Ferris-wheel removed from it's coast
Yet I am still around to remember
Golden seasons of pink and teal clothes

OOOOH you can't brushie the dog against it hairs!

Heavy rewrote of the first half of Franxx that includes face to face encounters with the small owl guy, who has a much bigger and depressing role in the story.
Papa is humanity's leader and he's actually what you can describe as a perfect human. His first appearance has him in a mystical garden, which he personally grew, as he gently sings to himself. Overtime, you see how emotional he gets. For example. In one scene, he shows 02 a ring of his deceased loved-one, pretending that the ring itself hold no meaning. As 02 snatches it with clear intentions of breaking it, Papa yanks her off the grounds then proceeds to choke her in front of the children.
A top Beyonder soldier (VIRM are heavily reworked into a new race) is the final threat of this part. His race isn't revealed, but it's clear that Papa, the Vice, and the small owl guy consider him a 'filthy traitor'.
Part 2, underground horror:
001 makes her first action appearance. The small owl guy's death has an impact for Papa and a new APE member. Once the gang goes underground with the Nines. 001 kills Goro and puts Zeta, nine alpha's partner, into a state of insanity. Alpha and Ichigo pair up on account for Ichigo sacrificing her humanity in order to do so, seeing this as her necessary sacrifice for humanity and indirectly causing Goro's death. Nine Alpha becomes very curious about 001. He believes that in 001's memories, he was seeing Papa in ancient times holding 001's hands, which are white for some reason.
The newly introduced APE member is revealed to be Hachi and Nana's friend, whom they don't recognized, in the parasite days, meaning that she is the first parasite to become an APE member.
Papa takes off his mask. He is a human man with a strangely young appearance and voice. This happens because he doesn't want the Nines to die before seeing who he actually is. Plus, Hiro flat out doubts Papa's humanity until he takes off his mask.
001 will be revealed as the mysterious woman that watched over 02 secretly in the flashback episode, which happens upon her defeat with her created daughter in the Apus (name might change).
Part 2 ends in a insane ending battle where Papa fights to the death with Hiro and 02. The fight progresses from a giant mecha fight to a person-size chase scene within the broken down Apus. Papa uncovers his mechanical wings that pretty much work like Hawk's quirk from MHA (I love that fucking power), which makes him look more angelic.
The final fight ends with Papa being violently thrown out of the Apus by 001 on the last of her strength. Papa retreats with the nines, but Nine Alpha rebels against Papa's orders and stays behind with Ichigo.
Part 3, war between Gods and Mortals:
001 is given mechanical help from the two remaining APE members.
001 demands to see 02 and askes her about the picture book-

Just write the material you think is the core of the story and its plot. There is no need for scenes without a future or clear purpose.
I actually find it surprising that pointless scenes can be made so carelessly when stories usually focus on a specific goal in mind. Even comedies follow a tight story structure to make the jokes flow, whether simple or complex.
You can separate huge chunks of the story into huge sections if needed, especially if they are long enough to be a book in itself.

I wish we had the pol anon system. I would interested in identifying each anon from the rest without resorting to namefagging. It would made things easier for conversation.

Not too difficult. I wrote 500 words a day for a few months and ended up with about 65,000. I also wrote it to be something people would have fun reading and not trying to be too fancy or intellectual-sounding.
>>17911080
Don't be down on yourself anon, it's never too late to start. It helped that I was going through a shitty year while I wrote it, so it was my sweet escape. Just write something you would like to read. Who cares if it even gets published or not?

>>17911046

I tend to land onto the latter naturally. I don't have woke nonsense, but damn I get too realistic and theoretical in my work.

>>17911096
>namefagging has never been a good idea, for countless reasons. if you want that you might as well go hang on reddit.
Yeah, but these boards sure aren't applying the solutions we already found. It's weird that 4chan is outdated by its own standards. Seriously, why haven't we used the pol id system here or other boards?
>I wrote fanfiction, what's wrong with that?
Nothing. It's just I really hated Franxx. hated the anime so much, I said to myself, "fuck it, I can do it better."
Later on, I started to realize that a show like Franxx should've been made and be written for European men. You have the show's best qualities be tied to European culture. Then, all these strengths got bastardized by nip culture or pure idiocy.

>>17911102
Just don't think about it too hard. Save that for the editing. And when you edit, cut stuff. Make it easy to read. People have short attention spans nowadays

>>17911140
>People have short attention spans nowadays
That's literally by our society's design. We shouldn't favor the tasteless because it contributes to the poison. Allow minds to open and expand like the books of old. It's literally the purpose of them. The books we have now lack any sense of realism or honesty that grounds the world together, pushing every subject to the very idealism that leads into Brazil. Besides, those short eaters aren't going to survive the silver squeeze. Let's be realistic.

>>17911167
All I can say is my beta readers/listeners praised it for being engaging and not pretentious

>>17911177
What makes a book pretentious?

>>17911125
>why haven't we used the pol id system here or other boards?
because it's the same as namefagging and it's not as important on a mongolian rug knitting hobby board as it is elsewhere

I do understand the want for author interaction, so I only namefag when I am posting stories and replying to feedback. There's no point leaving it on otherwise, and I've seen the consequences of doing so firsthand, so.... yeah, nah.

>>17911185
To me it's when I can tell the author is trying to show off how well he or she can write instead of just delivering the product

>>17911185
>pretentious
>Intended to impress others; ostentatious. Her dress was obviously more pretentious than comfortable.
>Marked by an unwarranted claim to importance or distinction

When a book claims to be more important than it really is. E.g. The Secret, a self-help book which promises to hold THE, T H E, T-H-E secret, but turns out to be basically a rehash of "i think i can i think i can"

>>17911196
Christ. That sounds so ***ish.
I have to talk about stuff like genocide and the subversion of religion within my story because they are important pieces. I wonder if pretentious is done because they want their fictional and subversive ideas to be taken seriously. Not out of ego, but of malicious intent.

You talk like a weeb. You complain about your stories, yet are too afraid to show them because 'idea theft' and privacy. However, I come here revealing my work, asking questions on how to handle stories, and discussing my theories over literature. I am not asking much from anyone, but that is stupidly snobby from you.

I am having some trouble with the character transitions nearing the end of the second act. It's always seemed to me that manufacturing and posturing towards an inevitable event is an excessive propagation of the cliche of linear action. It's idle. Greater still is my staunch dismissal to lend letters to unforeseeable conclusions of storylines outside of the transient discontinuations of perennial cyclicality when otherwise the entirety of the intrepid subject-object would remain as an extolled gerund of living and therefore germane to the process of being -- and naturally nonexistent when without. This impending reality coupled with the evocation of the most proximal relationship between the burgeoning cluster of thoughts and the shared world-dialectic while maintaining a refined, tacit inclusion of a momentous, mutual infinite series and sets of impressions gleaned (and twice-trodden patterns unconcealed) is proving to be an intractable vexation when relating to the expansion of a restrictive and shrinking corral of the horizon. I'm thinking about moving in a different direction but as of now am unsure about linking uneternalistic movements at all. The genre isn't currently suitable with the advancements in deep-sea expeditionary power and the integration of rapid data streams but it works on the same assumptions.

>>17911502
>It was fun but we were already at nearly 60% shitposts and beginner blogs to actual discussion
Ironically, it's mainly because we don't know which poster is who.
We don't need names, just rng tags so we don't have to go "well, I'm actually THIS ANON."
It's cute in the start, but then it gets increasingly grating because it keeps happening in the same damn thread. What do you expect from a thread system that is too anonymous and a culture that gets too pissy over random names and literal rng tags that are programmed to be thread exclusive and gibberish.
If you can't bother with basic conveniences, the contributing posters will be inclined to fuck off and the shit posters will have a field day doing any kind of bullshit. I find it too structure less for any legit creative threads to thrive, especially when the progression of creative materials are supposed to be discussed.

>>17911598
>Not that anon but he's right, you might as well go to reddit.
No bitch. Reddit works with profiles, character icons, some gay point system, and is highly interconnected with the threads. With pol's system, every thread exist within its own universe and hardly ever interconnects with other threads, unless it's about lucky numbers, based post, or specific events being referenced. It's very constructive and enjoyable to use.
Your ideas are incredibly in-experienced and highly flawed. Hell, even this phrase
>Because most people don't want that and it would defeat the whole purpose of an anonymous imageboard.
is wrong. Pol is the most popular board on the site and they don't ever complain about the tag system. They love using it to identity each anon on the thread (by their post on said thread) and discuss serious or hilarious topics. After the thread is over, everything restarts.

>>17911672
>(Or herself.)
don't feel the need to go through identity gymnastics

I wonder it's because you guys challenge and bully down on people for complaining about that then threaten them like shitskins that abuse the fact they have so many numbers, even though they are not united whatsoever.
>Yet /wg/ still has quality posts regularly
Many are inclined to disagree. There can be helpful post and unhelpful post, but you can't identity who saying those things within the reality. It essentially acts as a room of empty voices. I tried to like typical 4chan boards and reddit, but neither were appealing to me. On Pol I realized why exactly I couldn't care about a damn thing on these boards. It's simply too anonymous and empty. Without some essence of truth, there are merely no consistent characters to interact with. It becomes a void with no real ideals to stand on. It reminds me a lot of dreadful content that comes from Rick and Morty or ((their)) media.

With small publisher and self pub. Maybe 10k from smut 5+ years ago. I’ve written all kinds of genre fiction. 80% of what I published is quite bad, especially at the beginning. But it’s all scaffolding to build you up. I used to rewrite endlessly, worldbuild, outline, take notes for years. Time better spent on actually writing. Yes, marketing is key for self-publishing. It’s just as important as the writing. You need to do NL swaps, fb ads, have an active fb page. It really sucks if you don’t like the genre you write in. Also need a really on-brand cover. Successful book launches often take 500-1k investment, obviously more if you really want to go for it. Some authors wait until they have a couple books out in a series before pumping money. Also need a free novella or something to drive mailing list funnel

All-rounder is a bad strategy for new writers. Ideally you have a niche and can branch out more in short fiction if you like. I meant that time would have been better spent on writing. No amount of thinking or planning can replicate the experience of writing a story, no matter how bad it is -- always trying to improve, of course.

>>17912017
gnomes
goblins can't think long term, they just do what they can to sate their desires immediately
gnomes though. theyre fucking sinister man

Problem for me is that gnomes just seem too goofy. Goblins are filthy conniving little evil creatures, so it seems like a better fit in that sense.

>>17912035
that's exactly it
everyone hates goblins. you know you can;t trust them even remotely
but gnomes?
everyone trusts a gnome and they know that. they know that they've gained your trust, they wiggle their way into your society, into your governments
never trust a gnome

>>17912024
>>17912040
This is what I think of when I think of goblins (as well as the Tolkien goblins).

>>17912047
Fair enough, you make a good argument. Also there's this.

I'm surprised I have hardly run into any issues on google docs. i never knew it was that bad.
>>17912021
The Franxx rewrite is basically my first and possibly last big story. Should I try to write some mini-stories or scenes off of its world to get use to the genres it contains? I speculate that the story will have mainly have elements of love and drama. What genre should I focus on first?

>>17912017
gnomes. They are far more deceptive than a goblin. >>17912040

Jews seem nice, until you look closer and listen their words.

its soulless but it is writing
it does not count as "working on it" if you write less than 1k a day

>>17912117
Its been re wrote about three times and I have more than 20000 words invested on it with each chapter being roughly 5000 words on it, granted I dont work on it everyday

>>17912117
>its soulless but it is writing
You have to completely miss the point of the characters and story to do that. It's just too easy for fanfiction writers to go out that way.

>>17912130
What is it about?

>>17912130
If it's not finished you probably shouldn't be rewriting, just accept that your first draft won't be perfect and get to the end
respectable wc though
20k is around where most people give up because they're lazy fucks, congrats on making it past the filter

Yeah I hate using word because it makes my laptop whirr like crazy.

>>17912117
>it does not count as "working on it" if you write less than 1k a day

That seems arbitrary. I've finished plenty of drafts at an, on average, less than 1k a day pace.

>>17912108
sure

>>17912117
if it's shit FF, sure

>>17912171
It's probably about the pacing. In art, pacing can determine the outcome of a drawing. I suspect something similar happens with writing.

>>17912115
Is this original??

Be sure to have a non-google backup if you are using Google Docs.
Google has a habit of locking users out of their accounts, and never responding to their claims to get them back.
I lost all my email and documents recently because Google refuses to let me back onto my account.

>>17912144
Its crazy:
Its basically an Isekai, a poor Spanish catholic teenager who lost his parents and his girlfriend and all he has is his brother and sister are sent along side his house to DxD, the reason is because he is sort off the Chosen One, the Enemy knows that the Final Day is coming and wants to get a leg up by basically getting a whole world under him, God doesnt want to allow it so he sents the MC along side an archangel, with the end goal being Satan being banished back to Hell and the MC finally overcoming his Survivor guild and martyr complex
Make no mistakes the MC is going to suffer, or atleast I will make it so, not Subaru levels of suffering but close, I want him to be the anti Mary Sue, the only advantage is that his progresión is rather fast in the magic side of things but everything else he has to work for it, and also deal with the fact he has to protect his surrogate family and his brother and sister

>>17912066
I don't know what the Franxx rewrite is, but it sounds like fan fiction. I highly recommend writing original fiction. But if you're a beginner then it's fine.

>>17912115
>>17912195
no way thats original

>>17912266
To count his suffering:
>Lost his parents and gf before the story and had to work on the docks to not only put something on the table but also allow his brother and sister go to school
>Akeno met him early and she and her (fortunately living) mother forced him to be adopted, in part because the Mother wants a son and never got over loosing his husband and her family trying kill her for racemixing and also because she doesnt want the MC to end in the streets
>Nearly died in first fight when he was pierced by Freed.
>Has a martyr complex and survivors guilt, even though he didnt cause the death he believes he is wholly responsible for his parents and his girlfriend murder since he couldnt do anything about it despite being there

They will randomly sign you out, so that you have to reconfirm your 2step verification thing.
Mine was tied to a phone number that I didn't have access to any more, so I tried a backup code they tell you to save and use.
Only now it wants ID verification before it will allow me back onto my account, which I have sent and Google have ignored.

This all happened around May last year, and they still haven't got back to me about it.
I've just given up and made a new Email through someone else.

>>17912314
Horrible, I would have so many problems if I lost my gmail account. I should set up my own email tbqh.

Bit of a crazy idea I know, but non Coomer fanfics of that universe have been made already, lots of them Good, so I know it can be done, I already resolved myself to not starting the next story until I finish this one

>>17911952
it's a feature of the site but not a feature of this community.

>>17912267
remade the whole thing because I hated the anime so much. The first part only just resembles the first half of the anime. Things just get very insane and off the rails in the second to last part.
>>17910941
Several non-characters become fully envisioned characters. I heavily rewrote the entire structure of the plot, but try to keep in the few things good about Franxx around. I have read some fics and I have noted myself on why they are failures. Common flaws, missing story pieces in the anime, and other stuff.
With stories, they don't thrive from originality. They thrive from excellent execution and an excellent mindset. This one is more complex, yet simple as boy meets girl.

Seriously, go fuck off to discord or some other gang up site. You will actually have absurd power there to do whatever controlling bullshit you want. It's clear that 4chan doesn't care.

all telling to not use a trip or to fuck off
you're literally ignoring everyone who's told you to stop so you can pretend you're dumbass opinion is valid

Let's see... I don't care nigger. 4chan doesn't care either. You are literally nobodies to me and I am a nobody too. The only difference is that I don't step down on a trip from a supposed army, crypto-kike. You guys are strangely against the biz and pol ip id system and I have figured out why. Many of you are really the same person that pretend to be an army. All thanks to the lack of a proper ip id system.

Then why do you attentionwhore with a name? be honest, you just want to brag "this is me, I'm so important XDDDDD"

>>17912716
So I am correct. KEK.
You really are a pathetic anon. You think I wouldn't ever see through your writing and lies? Just fuck off from here. No one cares about your cringe and I am too smart to fall for your games.
