You should take it slow, not too slow as to be labeled a procrastinator, but not too fast that you're getting stressed and stuff.

Do what you feel like doing. 1 chapter a week? Sure, go ahead. 14 chapters a week? If you think you can, then go ahead.

If you are feeling stressed and you want a break from all of this, stop and take a break. Unless you are contracted, you have no obligation to update your novel.

I get stressed out all of the time, you know what I do? I just hop on youtube, play games(Got boring for me, but it's a great stress reliever....for me at least), or I just read.
- If you are dealing with depression/stress of any kind, seek real help -

And yes, you are selfish, but so am I...we all have selfish moments and anyone who says they don't is a liar.

Do what you want to do, when you want to do it and how you want to do it. Unless your novel is actually good, you better be pumping them chapters out otherwise I'll leave extremely negative comments...

Thank you for your nice comments and advices. After reading them and talking to different people, I came to introspected about what I wanted and how I got to this point. I hadn't seriously thought about a schedule for the release of my outings in my rush. Probably a shortcoming of the competitions for new authors. We are plunged directly into the water without any reference points and if everything goes too well, we start to think to much and lose our heads.

Since we have never had any "fans"; if I can call them like that or people enjoying our work, as soon as we see someone supporting us, we want to do everything to keep them and satisfy them, going up to forgetting why we started: The pleasure of unleashing our imagination with our stories and making our readers dream.

When I spoke with another author, I realized that if a work was good, it would necessarily be well received and followed even if the author only posted one chapter per week. So I should go at my own pace and present my story so that I can be satisfied with it. After all, I also write it for my own personal pleasure.

I'll not delete this topic so that if people find themselves sitting in my situation, I can refer them here.

Thank you again.

Reinesse Thank you. Btw, can I have your discord so I can add you to my friends? Only if you want though ;)
Good luck with your requirements. I have a big project to end for my class for next week too and procrastinating too. Great minds think alike I guess

KimSasha please, don't stop! I think we've been experiencing the same Reinesse right? As new writers, we tend to be overwhelmed by the expectations thrown at us by the readers or even our own expectations to ourselves.

I was thinking the same way that you did, like Reinesse, too. Probably. Though, unlike you, I didn't have as much readers. Thus, made me uneasy and sad. Considering the fact that we wrote those entries for passion, still there was a part of me, wanting people to at least give my entry a try. (As I know, my entry wasn't as good as others.) I was actually on the verge of dropping my story. I was a bit anxious. Really.

As I've said earlier, please do not stop. You are talented and you have the skills in writing a nice plot and definitely a worthy one. I am looking forward to the time you will complete your novel.

As for me, I still have to improve a LOT.

Let's do our best!

KimSasha I had just downloaded discord and I have no idea how it works. but I got the same username. bibliophile_anna#6218
