Moron Having done both writing and translation work, I can assure you that both are equally difficult and time consuming. Translating isn't as easy as grabbing a dictionary and translating a text. Especially because you're not the original author, you will often come across sentences and expressions that are ambiguous and difficult to translate accurately. Plus, because of the different syntax and language structure (Japanese being subject particle verb as opposed to English's subject verb noun or something like that) it's also difficult to translate word for word, and you have to frequently restructure and craft each sentence from scratch.

Mainaka Leo Tolstoy wrote 18 volumes in general, Jack London 22 volumes, but I'm not talking about writers, classics of the 20th century. I am talking about modern authors. It is your right to write ... the level and quality depends on the author to the author. You can write and 100,000 words and 50,000 words and 450,000 words and 1,000,000 words, it all depends on your imagination, skills. Another question will you be read? Maybe there will be hundreds of readers but not millions.

If you read further explanations below, you would understand the main point. That the author is not a robot, he has the same problems as the reader. He cannot write every day. The author depends on his health, the health of his loved ones, and inspiration for his work. He has his own pace. If he promised 3 chapters of updates per week, agree with that. Maybe the author will be able to write bonus chapters or maybe not. In any case, network ethics must be respected, which was the message. Yes, and the reader makes the writer, but the reader must be cultural and adequate.

Therefore, you need to read everything in order to understand what is at stake.

Personally, it’s just interesting for me to write, myself. I set myself the goal of writing 1,000,000 words. It's my goal. And the goal of other authors is their own. Why did I set such a goal? I have a lot of material on the Silk Road, I collected it for 10 years, read more than 450 history books, I have thoughts, I want to share with them. I want to popularize the Silk Road theme. Maybe after reading 1,000,000 words, someone will be interested in this topic and write a great novel, which I will be happy to read. I myself am a technician, not a writer, my novels are not so magical, English is lame, difficult to read, but the content is high-quality, interesting and useful as reference material for the authors. Therefore, my idea with 1,000,000 words is an attempt to inspire new authors to write (for me) a new and magical novel about the Silk Road ... so that I can read it!))) This is the main goal. Thank.

    Gourmet_DAO actually fun fact. Historical content is one of the main influential factors of my literature. Everything from war, to culture, philosophy, civil development and demise, my styles aims more towards developing a life story. While questioning certain aspects of belief. Morality, justice, right/wrong, reality etc. Everything percieved through the eyes of a particular narrator or character.

    Working on two stories right now one a lighter side and one on a darker side. One reflecting war and death, another reflecting corruption, poverty, and survival.

    Looking closely bits and peices of history can be noticed.

      Rak0 And links can be thrown off to your novels, does the abstract sound attractive? Corruption of the effect of poverty, poverty from the fact that a lot of money is being stolen, embezzlement, this is not stopped, the population is also involved in this process, it would be interesting to know what methods the author offers from the point of view of history to solve these catastrophic problems for society in his fantasy world . Although in the real world, Singapore is the best example, simple and very understandable laws were envisioned, corruption was defeated, Singapore is one of the most successful countries in the modern world! With interest!

        Gourmet_DAO haha. I'll look into it but yeah you got the idea for one story. XD I would love to pick your brain some time.

          I'm taking a cliche approach towards black market generalizations, child trafficking, and the fluidity of economic commerce from the realm of third party contributions, inspired, by mafia's involvement during the war

            I have in short a philosophy of story telling. So I tend to look at everything through the eyes of a reader and observer. So the more I experience, read, see, observe, learn, feel, then the more I'm able to contribute to my text. But at the end of it I don't really expect anyone to read it. It's just that I like to have a collection of worlds within reach. And maybe strike a few readers emotions along the way. But I still have a long way to go. And these two story are just a fun side project which I dont care if anyone sees. Hence publishing here. Also hopefully mature as a writer with this experience. I have a style and approach set, but I still have several kinks I need to work out in my writing. I'm like a baby turtle taking its first steps into a harsh reality. But fail once fail a thousand times it only matters if you learn from your mistakes and grow

            When it comes to writing, the author should stick to what they are comfortable with and only push themselves to write more if they are prepared to stretch their limits.

            I'm one of those authors who write 6,000 words a day, 3 chapters a day, for several months now. This isn't the most as I know there are a couple of people who pump out even more words a day.

            I can speak from experience that it is extremely difficult to maintain quality standards. I have trained myself to write 1,000 words per hour so I spend 6 hours to write every day. I don't do any proofreading or editing though my English writing skills are good enough that there aren't any grammar or spelling errors. Nonetheless, if you write so much all the time, you definitely won't be able to plan out things as much.

            I didn't get to this point immediately, of course. Over the course of 1,5 years since I started writing, I started with an update rate of 2,000 words a day. Then 4,000 words a day. Then 6,000 words a day. Increasing your daily writing volume is a skill that can be trained, but it requires dedication, time and a willingness to work hard to increase it. The novel also has to be able to accommodate it and the author's imagination also has to keep up with the pace.

            Not every author has the time to dedicate this much effort into doing such. If they don't have the time or don't feel motivated, it's better to stick to what is sustainable to them. I have seen too many authors break because they tried and failed to push their limits when they weren't ready for it. Listening to reader feedback and responding to their demands is only useful if it benefits the authors.

            Is it exhausting? Yes. But no more so than a full-time job. The earnings I've received for writing my novel this way has made it worth it for me to write in this style and at this pace. The novels that Webnovel offers are different from published books. They don't have the best quality, but they leave you coming back for more every day.

            Many authors are amateurs and don't have a lot of writing experience and that reflects in their quality of their work and their update rate. If they were pros, they would have probably brought their novels to a publishing house or Amazon instead. Webnovel offers a lower barrier to entry for authors and while there are many works that are disappointing, the charm of this platform is that there is always a gem in the rough or a particular flavor that you like from the mass of novels on offer.

            Ultimately, writing is a passion and the best stories are written if the author is on fire. I write a lot of words a day, but I enjoy it and that keeps me going day after day without any depression or mood swings. Authors should pay more attention to their mental and physical well being and their financial situation to decide how much they want to write. Just responding to pure user feedback is not always healthy because usually the loudest and most extreme voices are amplified in the comments and reviews.

              Exlor Are you writing as a full-time job or are you writing in addition to any full-time (or part-time) job you already have/in addition to being a student? Because it's tough for most people to spend 6 hours a day writing when they have a 9-5 job, or are a student with classes, homework and things to study. And I'm a student with a part-time job on top of that, so spending 6 hours a day to churn out 6,000 words is just not practical or feasible for me.

                Tomoyuki yeah, thanks. For a couple of weeks, I started timing my writing and forced myself to go to sleep early (7hrs of sleep), I go out for walks and meet friends. Screen addiction is not healthy. Please, dear authors, take care of yourselves.

                  Tomoyuki

                  At the moment I do it full time and so of course I have the time to dedicate that much time each day on writing. If you are already studying or working, then of course you should rightfully treat it as a hobby, side job, extra activity or whatever put firm limits on how much time you spend on writing. Spending six hours a day on writing when you already have an existing full-time job or study is insane.

                  The only other thing that I can say is that readers aren't interested in your own circumstances. Like audiences of a theater, they only see a carefully crafted show. They don't see what happens outside the performance date and off the stage and how much effort the actors put into practicing and mastering their performances.

                  This is the nature of art and the entertainment business. Readers are only presented with a finished product that is the culmination of our hard work. It is unfair to make a comparison between a novel written by someone who writes fulltime to a novel written by someone who is writing part-time. Yet readers don't know any better or don't care and make those comparisons anyway. This is the reality all authors have to live with and it is best not to listen to these kinds of voices at all.

                  All I can say is that passion and enjoyment are vital to sustain writing in the long term. Write as much as you enjoy and your free time allows and no more if you want to keep it up for years. Writing is not a race nor a competition to be the fastest writer or the best earner, though all the comparisons and jostling for power stones something make it seem like it sometimes.

                    yaoyueyi i understand your plight and support all the writings all the way.
                    Take your time creating vivid novels that would entice your readers more.
                    God bless

                      Exlor That's a relief. I thought you were telling us to follow your example, sort of a "if I can spend 6 hours a day writing 6,000 words, why can't the rest of you? Stop whining!"

                        WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I am impressed with all of the authors work! Why rush good content! I would hate to ask for more. I would hate to force more content and cause writers block/ fatigue/carpal tunnel. Let them evolve their stories naturally. Everyone wants instant gradification. There is a beauty in being patient!

                            I admit it, I'm one of such readers you made a definition of. But I already stopped being like that after I became an author.

                            At first, I thought writing stories, plots, scenes, etc. is easy, but it's not. As an author (even not a famous one), it's hard to squeeze outputs out of our minds; for example, I'm imagining a certain scene in the book that I'm writing, but I need to thresh out the feelings, emotions, and aura that the scenery is emitting in my mind, which is actually very hard considering I'm still struggling to do that until today. What more in writing a whole chapter? What more if you have studies and extracurricular activities in your school that you have to accomplish by the end of this week?

                            To all readers out there, if you're experiencing the pressure being on a cliffhanger to your favorite story then it goes paused for a week, the pressure on us authors would more or less twice as that.

                            I'm not scolding you guys, I'm just expressing my feelings about this issue, because I've also been like you.
