jose_angel I don't speak Spanish, so I have no idea what you just said. Lo siento.

aw :( stickied days were good days while they lasted

Yikes, this was a huge thread!

As a fun reference for what amount of words is doable in a day I present https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Novel_Writing_Month

While the article does indeed have some issues I've seen NaNoWriMo discussed actively since my days at another writers' site during the early 2000s. So we're basically talking about an annual event where you go totally bonkers in terms of output. Going bonkers defined as 50k words written during the month of November.

Now that insanity still falls far below the suggested 2.5 words a day I've seen in this thread but it still classifies as an insanity event you do for shits and giggles as an author. And, it's one month per year -- arguably one month on top of whatever you normally write during the year.

Personally I'm currently able to crank out less than 2k a week, which in terms of traditional publishing still would equal a novel a year, admittedly a shorter one. Well, I have a family and a full time job these days. When I had more time for writing I hit maybe 1k a day, minus days spent for editing, so maybe 4k a week in terms of new raws. That was enough to pump out two full length novels in two years (of pretty questionable quality), and that was a lot for me.

So why doesn't normal authors pump out 2k+ a day 365 days a year? Well, because normal authors want to create readable text, without glaring plot holes, with a contained story that's actually headed somewhere, and a story that somewhat complies with the Freytag pyramid.

Sure, I don't any longer. Slice of life is fun to write, but maybe less fun to read. There's a laid back continuity in writing something that reads like Emmerdale Farm, but it sure as hell doesn't work well with high drama or action.

So, if you want to read a story with a clear beginning, middle and end, presented with a huge payoff prior to the denounment where all loose ends are tied off, please don't expect more than maybe 100k words a year.

yaoyueyi you said the unsaid bro! it really is bothering...

Being a Exuberant explorer, a few weeks ago I tried writing some stories on my laptop and found it really difficult to write atleast a single chapter a day (with 2k to 3k words)...I even spent some long nights writing the chapter forgetting the fact that I had to attend my school early in the morning the next day... Had a really terrible experience(no offense please XD) in being an author...My whole lifestyle was up and down and later understood it wasn't my cup of tea...Even though before being an author I never asked my authors to mass release or next chapter please etc, I used to find it horrible when some people used to treat the authors or harass them with their words, not only this I even saw some people saying things like "Dont try this book.... Such a waste of time etc etc." I used to feel bad but ignored them as I didn't have much interest in author's personal life rather had more in their stories... But now I understand their plight, it wasn't easy for a girl like me still studying at school, think about all those authors who write even when they are sick, even when they have personal issues, family to take care, work, part times jobs, studies etc etc... Now I really have a great respect to all those authors specially those who update regularly wether it may be just 50 or so words... So my request to all other fellow readers, rather than asking for more or harassing or threatening your authors, just thank them by gifting, voting, reviewing and commenting with respectful words... IF YOU CAN'T DO THIS THAN JUST BE A SILENT READER it's more than enough for these most Hard working people...
A famous Novelist said(who idk) :
"A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people. " KEEP THESE WORDS IN MIND AND PLACING YOURSELF IN THEIR PLACES BEFORE HURTING THEM....

Loyalscum please self promote in the right places. otherwise, it's just spam.

Lilliny He literally spammed his story on like 30 different threads (even the ones where no one asked for self-promotions or advertisements). I'm on the verge of reporting him for spam.

Then again, I spam the forums with my self-depreciating nonsense, so who am I to judge?

Tomoyuki I guess I should clarify... I understand that this is not a full time job. I also understand Family/work pressures. I also have a great deal of respect for the translators.
However IT is actually only a few books I am frustrated with. The book I was originally talking about Maybe gets a chapter a week. Meaning It usually doesn't.
Before it went premium it was 2 releases a week which was fine. Then there was no mass release before going premium and then after going premium I was lucky to get a release a week there were frequent weeks with no release.
If it was 1 a week fine but it wasn't even that. That becomes frustrating.

THIRTEEN DAYS LATERRRR

Lilliny thinking about it
it's actually kind of sad that you were not active on the forum when this thread was still popular & a thing. I feel like you may have made it a lot more entertaining :cry:

But I was here

This is still going?

Dont think so
