I would prefer not to make too much drama in this thread, but I might as well quickly reply. I do not condone what she has done, I also find it unfair, but since she claims her editor has given permission I cannot be the one to judge. The final rule in the contest is that Webnovel reserves the final right to interpret the rules. As such I can do nothing, even if I did find it unfair.

Anyway, to come back to the topic that this thread is really about, then I am quite excited to say that I have reached my goal for the day! Time to celebrate!

Thankyou for the encouragement :) my novel is going in a good pace write now. :)

    Day 4

    Affirmation for today.

    My writing is a failure. Failure is practically my second name. To me, this isn't a bad thing. I see my writing as future opportunities. If my writing doesn't meet the now, it might be for the future.

    Every try is a opening to an opportunity.

      Day 6

      Believe it or not, I'm a depressed writer. I have to constantly fight through self doubt and fears whenever I write into my stories. It's why I'm known for the quote of today. "Rejection is a Challenge".

      Why is this a motivation?

      Lemme give you a back story. About a few years back, I felt cocky to pitch one of my fantasy sagas to a traditional publisher, after I had placed in a review contest that a Lit Agency ran. Something similar to https://twitter.com/ReviseResub.

      Rather than get a chance and foot in the door, I faced rejection after rejection. Spending an exorbitant amount of money just to receive a "no thanks" or nothing at all. When I finally received that one acceptance with a well known trad house, I faced rejection again upon editor handover. I was a mess at this point. I gave up my story back then.

      But I didn't give up on writing itself.

      When my emotions and head had cleared, I had recognized the valuable lessons from my experience, which fueled my motivation to continue pursing my author ambitions.

      The important meaning of this message is to not surrender your dreams to rejection, self doubt and fear. Instead, see rejection as a challenge to grow from and overcome.

      YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!

      Day 8

      Entering into the Silent Fray. Stay focused!

      For a majority of writers on this site, this is the start of new test for writer. The silence. It's understandable that a lot of writers won't have the time to actively promote whilst writing to finish in the contest window.

      Motivation for today: stay focused through the silence

      Don't let zero or small readership block you from writing your story. Consider it as something else to work on.

      Balance your time to write with promoting. Promotion is just as much of a grueling task as penning the chapters. It takes as much focus, planning and strategy to ethically attract one reader. So that should be a focus for one day. Then writing another day focus.

      Writing and promoting are two sides of the same coin. Balanced and done right, will eventually see your story progress and gain regular readers. Breaking your book page out of its silent prison with support for the finish.

      This threat is sweet although I have no idea what's going on. Good luck everyone!
      Obviously confused, throws pompoms and confetti around

        Day 9 You're doing good!

        Give yourself a pat on the back whenever you reach the end of a chapter, milestone in the story, massive progress...

        You deserve to give yourself a pat on the back.

        Veronica8 Oh my god...I didn't realize thread got autocorrected to threat..."this threat is sweet" lmao.
        And ooooh I had no idea, being away and all so that's cool. Have fun cheering them on.

        Day 10

        By now you should have a rough idea of what you want to write, and writing away. Keeping going. Remember to take your breaks when needed, but don't stop the momentum you've got going.

        You can do it! Keep at it!

        Day 12

        Recap and relax for a moment. You've been doing updates daily, doesn't hurt to take a breather and revise before entering into another new block of the story.

        Keep it up. You're doing good.
