GabrielDetchans okay, so like, i was able to successfully chat in discord today (yay) but im not touching anything else except for "general" HAHAHHAHAHA

      I only came for Pizza because I haven't eaten in like 9 hours.

        So_mi Glad you could make it! I see that the charumsion is evolving to a novel in disguise? Well, I would be glad to do a common project. I really think this platform needs to add an online feature (or by the webnovel app) where several authors can work togheter in the same title.

        DaddyFishGotBigPp I thought you could eat heavens, Earth and the Void but you were killed by a bunch of strawberries? That what you get for disrespecting bread.

        Xiaoyiyi8 Now that So_mi is on discord we can even do a channel of our own. But the charumsion is really fun so let's also continue here.

                  well, i don't really care about earning readers and stuff but i'd be more motivated if there were.

                  i am also not a native english speaker but i'm working fine with english. we're friends.

                  my biggest problem is that i'm a perfectionist on doing what i like. i ask advise and edit it right away. it takes me a lot of effort to stop myself from editing and it was sort of a success every time, luckily.

                  although some says i'm doing fine for someone my age, i still think it's not enough. and this mentality is sort of bad.

                  well, the thing i always say to myself is i could be better after experiences so i should not really rush. i can revise my novels in the future so why not chill plus it takes a lot of time and effort to edit it right away. saying this to myself woke my lazy side.

                    DaddyFishGotBigPp The knives were actually known as the trigger of pleasure. So when you eat strawberries, you can't forget the taste and addicted to it.

                        Reinesse 🍕 for you 😊 and about the editing, well what i do is I focus first on making chapters and after a few days or weeks, I reread everything to see if the flow and the coherence of the story is there (cuz after a few busy days, i forget what i even wrote which amazes me sometimes). And if there are some minor errors, i usually change them. But if we're talking about always editing the latest chapter, that'll be quite confusing for the reading because they'll be reading this thing, and when they come back for it, it becomes another thing (which might confuse them enough to stop reading, so beware!) Also, when you edit certain stuff (that aren't those minor things like spelling, grammar, and stuff) you gotta tell the reader you are editing cuz u gotta inform them that there will be some changes or else they'll end up being confused and such.

                        Also, there's always a time to look back and edit everything so why not enjoy the process of making a draft as of the moment? Instead of worrying for the current chapter, make another chapter instead. That'll be more productive. Like those professional authors, they don't see feedback from their readers until they finished their books. So, just enjoy thinking about the future feedback and look for ways to improve your writing style (if you want) well, that's what i usually tell myself.

                          Reinesse no rush, take your time, you're still too young 😒.
                          PS. Kill that laziness as soon as you could ( it's one of the boss types of all the heart demons)

                            Reinesse but yeah, im also a perfectionist but my lazy side is too overpowered that my perfectionist side cowers in fear 😂 and sometimes, when we post a chapter, we tend to nitpick too much on the "is it okay?" "Is it alright for them?" "I need to see some comments!!!"

                            Then almost every minute i would check the comments section. Literally. Almost. Every. Minute.

                            But i learned that it soon became a toxic trait to have so what i do, i developed that "Publish and Run" kinda style wherein i publish a chapter, then i 'run away' which is like literally not opening that chapter until I post another chapter (or until I actually remembered after a few days that I didn't look at the comments in the prev chapter.) Cuz thats when you give the readers enough time to read and review it.

                            Also, i used to always ask "why is it not a bit known?", "am i doing enough?" But ynow, you just gotta look back on why you started writing in the first place.

                            Is it really to be known?
                            Is it really about being regarded as the best novel?

                            Well, for me, I started because I wanted to breathe life into an unusual character and to show them a different universe so after a few chapters and days of just focusing on my own novel, i soon disregarded things like comparing my own works to others, power stones, and rankings. Instead, I just dwell on the fact that my novel exist for me and for people that wishes to read it until the end of its story 😊

                            I'm not saying that you shouldn't care about those rankings or avoid it completely, but you shouldn't let it define your novel and discourage you. It's just an added bonus or a feature that shouldn't stop you from writing.
