kazesenken yess, sometimes you can't help but be jealous of the world you made and can make you think, "what if i was the mc" so bad. That's also one of my motivators!

              Ending at the end of a scene is usually, though not always, how I prefer to do it, so long as I have a clear idea of what the next scene is. If I'm already struggling in a scene, then to me it makes sense to stop somewhere in the middle, and return later. A struggle usually means I need time for my mind to process, and sitting there getting nothing done is not a good way to do that.

                  So_mi I've been around hehe. But I'm no professional. I just enjoy writing. Every now and then I do developmental editing with people trying there hand in writing. But I never really tried to go into the profession of literature.

                  I'm basically just a hobby writer. That writes novels. Short stories, every now and then.

                  Professionals have me respect. I would never have courage to pump out a book and decide to publish it. Hehe.

                  Just recently I decided to do a fun project and publish it on this site for the hell of it. Hehe. My next step to developing my writing. 🤕

                      Rak0 aww ur the same as me thennn but I'm thinking of trying out that offer for a contract but... I still can't update for 2 weeks straight (since that's their condition :/)

                          Clowniac yep I understand. And I agree it's all about doing it the method that works for you and, being open minded to experimentation to continue developing yourself.

                          I spend months visualizing my work before writing. So by the time I do start I have the essence of the story. This does not mean I know the plot and everthing that is going to happen. Just what I want my story to convey and how I plan to do it. Since I write my stories with the purpose of conveying a msg, concept, idea, etc. In the most meaningful way I can think of.

                            So_mi good luck. You can do it. When I do start publishing imma be publishing 1 chapter a day. With a stock pile of at least 50 chpts. Giving me 50days to progress another 50+chapters hehe.

                                The_Cheese hehe yep. Imma do mass releases of over 10+ chpts if my story does good. Lol.

                                But that meme fit what imma be doing lol

                                    So_mi I had a 12-year hiatus on one of my stories due to a string of offline stuff. I might not be able to give the best advice. I'll try.

                                    For me. Setting a routine helps, using a daily word count goal. Something totally realistic. Like, "today I'm going to write 200 words". If you set an easy to achieve daily target, it should help you write to a routine.

                                    It also helps to take a breather for inspiration. Return with fresh ideas.

                                    Hope that helps.

                                        Veronica8 thank you! Will start doing that soon :) Hopefully my readers aren't too... tired of me being late in my updates haha
