why do you people want to write a novel anyway?

do you think you're going to make it big? or do you think that you really have something that important to say?

there's such a large amount of people on this board who can't be content with just reading and so they have to share their drivel with this place.

>why do you people want to write a novel anyway?

Because writing can be pretty fun :^)

>do you think you're going to make it big?

Fuck no, I intend to finish it but I highly doubt I'll ever even consider self publishing for free or something. There's definitely no market for my novel or anything like that.

>or do you think that you really have something that important to say?

I have something important to say to myself, I'm kind of using it as a springboard to explore myself and a bunch of ideas that I've been grappling with for a few years. I realise that none of what I'm writing will be of interest to other people.

i think much of what inspires people to read is the desire to write better. but there's nothing really wrong with that, i dont think.

Stop trying to revise and write at the same time. You went fast writing jerkoff fanfic because you didn't care how it turned out, so now you have to force yourself to act that way with your real project.

We're all gonna make it brah :')

But then I might have to end up scrapping large amounts of my work, or even worse I might accept shit writing due to the sunk time cost.

writing is rewriting friend

until you finish your first draft you won't even know what your story is like

I take it back. You're not gonna make it and you aren't my brah.

>> No.6940280

I've got 24000 in 9 months, and I'm thinking of starting over.

You're gonna make it OP, we all are.

Just keep writing.
