Webnovel.Forum

So, ever since Webnovel introduced the Original Creation option, where we readers could create or own novels and publish it to Webnovel. Ever since then, number novels have been uploaded.

What I'm righting this thread for, is to know how hard it is/was for you as an individual to create your novel. If we used a scale, let's say 1 is 'extremely hard' and 10 is 'refreshingly easy and fun'. Yeah, I'm not good at doing this, you cane make your own scales from 1-10.

I would put my self around 5.

I've never considered the possibility of becoming an author, but recently, I've been trying to become one. But I'm a god damn awesome procrastinator and it's taken me till now to actually become 'serious' about it.

And so far, I think I'm doing good...I've been working on chapter 1 for about a week now.........................

Anyways, writing isn't as easy as it seems and I'm just doing it for 'fun'.

Now, tell me about the challenges you've faced as you wrote your novel.

Me, before I even got past chapter 1, I had many problems. I've written many ideas down, done the world building, character design and all that, but each time I delete it, cuz I don't quite like it.

Anyways, I could go on, but I won't(Unless you want me, I can write more, I'm bored as all hell and looking for stuff t do!)

Alright, your turn...that is if anyone reads this...

My problem with writing is my grammar because English is not my first language. Also, I know the beginning, ending but I have issues in the middle.

I'd say I started at a difficulty of 5 at the start 2 months ago and now I probably sit as a difficulty of 8 due to my improvements. I've found it to be a fairly easy experience for me overall. Much easier than writing long case studies, research papers, IT plans, etc.

Other than difficulty, I'd say I started at around a 5/10 in quality in my first novel. Since then, I feel like I've rapidly improved to a 7.5/10 in quality in my 2nd novel. However, I think that it'll be much harder to reach the 'next level' of quality from where I currently sit. In other words, I've reached a bit of a bottleneck? The earlier improvements came easy since I was new. The later improvements are harder since the bar only goes higher. Still, I see myself making continuous small improvements as I go. I'll be happy if I eventually reach what I consider a 9/10 in quality. That would consist of good story, foreshadowing, planning, characters, grammar, feelings, descriptions, world building, etc. The 10/10 level feels like it'll forever be outside my grasp. In fact, I don't think I'd ever give any novel a perfect quality score, though I do leave 5 star reviews to be fair. There's no such thing as reaching true perfection.

Misguided_Rooster I think 90% of people hoping to be authors never start, because they felt that they want their story to be up to a certain standard (that they hold themselves) before starting.

For me starting was a blur. No idea what to do. No idea what sells. Writing myself into corners in the story. So probably 3 and now maybe 7. Still not sure how to break into the top 50

Nou thanks!
