Getting any amount of recognition is the most difficult part, I still haven't really gotten any. I'm not in this for money, but I would like my works to be widely read by many people, I am branching out onto different sites because of this, to put my novel on more and more platforms.
Fellow Authors Talk!!! (FREE PIZZA)
Xiaoyiyi8 Discord its a web platform that provides chatrooms and games to play, similar to steam.
Many people use it to keep in touch with each other and make new friends.
If you look at the top of the webpage you are currently looking at, in the blue row, it should be to the left of the facebook tag. Click there and download the app. Webnovel have a server for readers and another for writers, with a lot of different channels to chat .
(Really a lot, some pople even do karaoke in there!)
if you want to add me as a friend or just send me a message , search for Gabriel Detchans#8768
So_mi I am like this that too!!!!! ---->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!!!"
Amateur writers have fragile hearts. We need feedback. (And pizza, of course!)if we don't get enough, we will be sad and deppressed. But if we suddenly see a that a even a lonely comment appeared, its like "hey, everything its alright with the world again!". Then we leap in joy and start typing furiously again until bam! A new wild chapter appeared! And ten seconds after we publish we are anxiously waiting again. its a vicious cycle!
So_mi My family use to really hate when I would say idiot. But now they all curse all the time also, I never got pizza! Rude!
But! If you guys need some feedback, leave me the book title and Iโll be able to read through it this weekend and leave you a review! No promises on whether Iโll keep it in my library...lol I get busy with work, friends, life, and writing my own (The Hitting Zone). But I still like reading the most!
You can add me on discord as well: half_empty #4390
half_empty I am taking your offer. I do need feedback!
The link for my novel is:
[links] https://www.webnovel.com/book/12386178405369505/Witch-Zanthia%C2%B4s-Little-Shop-of-Horrors
There are lots of lonely chapters waiting for comments. Any kind of comment will be aprecciated, even if it just xp.
And a review would be great!
By the way, only @So_mi can give you the pizza but you can always ask @Xiaoyiyi8 for strawberries. Just be careful, the last guy that eat them end up a dead fish...
So_mi with me being a perfectionist too with a lazy ass side overpowering it, I could totally relate to you. The comments section is like a deserted place... and its hard to distinguish whether there are ppl reading it or appreciating it. Majority of the users/readers in webnovel are silent types... so I slowly learn how to not care abt this certain parts and just gonna write and publish because im just in the mood to publish.
I just hope your novel will be known soon. I'm also working on mine but i'm worried i'll get writer's block back again when I reach 3 or 5 chapters.
randomgal23 Maybe this will help you if you get a block again.
Quote of a previous post in this same thread:
One trick I have, (not sure I can call it my style, more like a thing I often choose to do when i am stuck), is picking two or three seemingly unimportant details (like and object or a word in a phrase) and then ask myself "Why is this thing here? How can be useful for the growth of the characters. Is there a way to use it to move the story forward?
For example: candy, dinamite or even a joke or a name in a dialogue of a secondary character.
The responses to this questions help me continue developing it into the core of a future chapter.I then plan how to insert that particular element in the story, perhaps not inmediately but a couple of chapters later.
It may not be so great a technique but it works just fine in order to build a solid sense of depth in the novel.
