Skully_ I thought you are an 'android' or robot.
SweetsTomato oh.....sorry for making fun..my bad. I think i'll buy it. Oh yeah, one more thing.
I wrote a chapter on mobile and it took me around an hour to write 1000 words unedited. But editing and adding stuff through mobile phone was the hard part. Whenever i tapped the part where i have to change stuff, it would zoom out and increase difficulty to write.
Just sharing the experience.
Skully_ Oh how much i envy you. Ypu are practically a cultivator, a novel cultivator
Broughtwaorld2 Hi, I also write on mobile, android phone, using a Notebooks app. Never really wrote on PC or laptop before, even when I upload the chapters.
It doesn't zoom in or out so easier to edit. But my problem with it was that it doesn't indicated the word count, the search fxn only leads to the page not the exact word's position, exports to pdf only and no undo. But it's still easier for me than the ms office tools on mobile.
Just sharing my experience too.
DazzlingGem Well i don't use the softwares till now. I only use the inkstone platform on mobile through mozilla firefox ...... that's why it zooms out every time. Thanks for sharing your mobi-experience
Broughtwaorld2 Oh, directly on the platform. Yeah, that's difficult on mobile that's why I got another app for writing then paste the edited on inkstone.

Broughtwaorld2 CRAZY!!! DONT DO THAT!
OH! MY Rabbink's Tail! This is utter madness. Have you heard the story of authors lost their story when a sites goes down? Or even easier when the internet cut? It happened in RR and suggested against.
Always prepared offline Backup!!!
MasterRabbink HOLY!!!,
I truly didn't know of this. When you say that the story is deleted you mean the drafts right? or the published ones?
Thanks for cautioning me in advance
The online world is cruel shivers slightly

Broughtwaorld2 Drafts... Published also might happen like some blog hosting sites goes down. I am not saying deleted. If the internet connection goes down. Worst thing might happen.
MasterRabbink yeah you're right
MasterRabbink No I am a disembodied floating skull. See Dresden Files and my profile pic.
Skully_ with spooky eyes?

Broughtwaorld2 I think they are handsome :P But I am a disembodied floating skull who is a member of the undead.
I have class in weekdays, so I only write in weekend in microsoft word using laptop, I can't use my phone for writing because my phone has some severe troubles and I haven't had any chance to buy a new one.
When I first started the novel, I was in holiday (around three-four months ago), so I have quite a stockpile by now. However, those chapters that I write still have a lot of grammar problems. I checked them again before copying them into the inkstone and set the timer (i use timer to maintain stable release since I can't stay online too much). In my case, I'm not working yet, so I still have time after college.
My chapter is not that long, only around 900-1200 words each chapter (mostly only around 1000 tho). My release rate is around 5 chapters each week and sometimes I give bonus chapters for several reason :)
As of now I don't have much leisure time, even the novels that I want to read for ages have been put on halt sadly because my schedule didn't let me have too much time for other activities.
If your schedule is so tight, you might want to change the release schedule or halt first to create a stockpile. Well, I guess this is all from me. Hope it helps.
Skully_ So in cultivation terms you will be called 'Venerated Hovering Skull' ?
Sorahana It sure did. But routine is all fine. But isn't there a way to reduce ......you know reduce some time in your true 'real life'. I know i have to try it on my own .....but any suggestions might work. You are a college student right. Think from that perspective.
Well, I don't think I could really reduce my real life time that easily...
You can try to reduce your sleep, but I can't say that I really want to suggest it since it's bad for your health.
Other things you can do is probably thinking about the plot in your free time (at least this is what I do when I have nothing much to do). I think about the plot first so that when I need to type it, I can do it at a faster rate and finish writing earlier. I usually use pen and paper to write them down first. For me, this can help me write faster.
Or if you have class that give a lot of break like you have to wait a few hours before the next class, you can bring your laptop to write first when you don't have much work to do from college.
Well, I can't really suggest much... I'm also a newbie writer after all :sweat_smile:
