Webnovel.Forum

You know what, I've noticed something. This contest is a healthy competition. Unlike the other contest I entered last month. People kept backstabing each other, dragging one another (the likes). Here, it's different. We do our contest in a healthy way. Helping each other to cultivate more. Though the contest is ending soon, I say, I'm so glad to enter in this contest. Some of you help me out to improve. I'm so happy. Thank you....

dillydally_girl though it was funny seeing the petty fights in that fan-fic contest

Reinesse I've been ruthless at grammar since whenever I started studying it

mysterious_being i was thirteen years old when i started writing here in webnovel so my knowledge was rather limited. when i tried reading my own novel, i wasn't satisfied and then i saw people asking for guidance in the forums. an editor replied to me constructively and with extremely detailed instructions. it's just one reply but it was enough to increase my quality by two notches. he didn't point out anything with the grammar but rather the sentence and paragraph constructions. unfortunately, i don't think he's active anymore.

Reinesse I have nothing to say after hearing you out ... You've come a long way, and it'll take much more time for me to even think of getting where you are right now. But I really don't mind that, as I do not wish to become an author or anything... I just feel better when I let my imagination go wild and it is a way to freshen up for me, since my main goal/focus/thing right now is studying. My mind gets really worked up after school so it helps me relieve my stress so I can concentrate well again.

Mmm this got really long

mysterious_being i'm envious that you can actually focus on studying... during school days, i use writing as a way to procrastinate.

mysterious_being and no need for it. i saw my number of ps and thought that i won't be able to catch up with the rank one anyway so i just decided to pick a novel to vote. and besides, as of now, you are guaranteed to be at least rank 6. the others hadn't reached the 10k words quota anyway.

Reinesse I have no other way besides focusing on studying.... The career path I chose requires a heck lot of time and effort and the competition in my place is, I can just describe it in numbers.
The exam I want to give after a year, has 15,00,000 other students competing for some 36,000 government college seats, so you can see how low the probability is of me getting into a reputed college.

This got really boring cries

mysterious_being lol tru. but good luck dealing with your eyebags. i still have mine cries and it's like vacation already cries harder

Mavislin11 Ooh, yes, of course! I'm so sorry I didn't notice it before!

mysterious_being cries along I don't even get time to touch my phone except in the evenings. My whole vacation was wasted on studyingggg
Ok, maybe not wasted XD

... how the hell can you both study during vacation. i've tried it and ended up procrastinating

Reinesse If I would've got a vacation, I'd be over the moon right now

NatsumeRikka Reinesse Let's just put an end to this (though I'm the one who started it) .... We all work really hard. We are hard working students who study as well as write stories and enter contests. I'm proud of us!!

mysterious_being First thing about writing is - Write because you want to write.
Although there are many genres available here and there are some genres which do better than others, you really need to pick the one which you feel comfortable.

Also if you are purely doing is for Web novel purpose then maybe you need to adhere to the following things-
a) Timeliness of chapter release
b) Regularity - don't miss out on updates
c) Nice long chapters to keep readers happy
d) A nice lucid style of writing

But I would like to stress on Grammar as well because sometimes that becomes a mood killer, even if you have really great stuff. Apart from that just believe in yourself and keep writing. You need to be self-motivated too because it's all about persistence here.
