I was wasting my time 'sight-seeing' Qidian Chinese web. Suddenly I read something about a cover and remember something which is really late by now to ask.

That is the link for beyond the language. And I suddenly remember a word from the Requirement.

PORTRAITURE

What does it suppose to mean? I'm panicking here! Do we have to submit a cover too? But I can't draw!

I hope someone can clear my confusion.

    TheLonerLion I don't think so. Its not a req for writing. I believe they are just warning us to not copy and paste a cover art and claim it to ours in our novel. This is so that they will not get into any sort of trouble in the future.

    No need to draw anything.

        KingBiBiK 20.583 words done. it was about 8 chapter. I was planning to add a little bit information in it since I can't really finish an arc with only 20k words, and I will pull my real life job as the reason why I did not write more.

        I haven't started editing yet with the same reason. But I was optimistic that the editing (which definitely have many mistakes because I'm not a native speaker) would be done before the deadline.

        As for what I feel... I'm a nervous wreck... really. I always feel that "this should be written like this" then the next moment I was like "It was stupid! Why did I write something like this?!" And I become a mess.

        Overall, I put a lot of time to make the characters' background that will explain all the characters' action in the novel, which would be revealed faaaaaarrrrr into the future.

        Then now... I was debating with myself for what I have to write in the [Writer's information]

        I would rather explain the outline story in it rather than telling others about my uneventful life. Can you give me any advice about this?

            Just give a basic idea abt your uneventful life.

            Like the basic things you do?
            Or the time you choose to write?
            Or the time you think abt the plot?
            Or..........Or

            MissVixen who are you? glanced at you arrogantly

            For real?! we may not know each other that close! But I'm not one to forget until we stop chatting for 5 years!
            I have seen your name so many times in the forum... I'm not going to forget that easily.

            And.... That is if I somehow got a spot in the competition... I hope so...

                I'm sorry.... it's 1.12 a.m here... I'm going to sleep. Good night~

                yawn

                  TheLonerLion Make sure not to info dump too much as you now decide to focus on background in the initial chapterse.
                  Make it crisp and intrigue ur reader.

                  Keep ur hopes low so you won't be sad. Find a reading buddy who can give friendly critique as well.

                      KingBiBiK Welp............ I have more than 243k words ready..........that's more than one arc

                      But the thing is....... I'm lazy to even edit them.

                      I won't say I made too many mistakes but it's a pain to edit every chapter.....

                      Regarding the future of my Novel?......... I have posted few chapters on RR.

                          MissVixen Noooo. I am afraid you will be in trouble if you submit something that you post on RRL. I don't think they will take that..... watch out miss.

                          Also the heck 243k that's something. That's some dedication. You are college freshie right? Are you a lit major?
                          Good luck.

                              KingBiBiK Really?
                              If it is cringy....Don't blame me!

                              Are you sure abt it?

                              you will find grammatical mistakes or some errors

                              Are you sure abt it?

                                  MissVixen I will turn a blind eye towards grammatical errors but I will give you a honest opinion regarding the story.

                                  BTW you seems like you want to scare away your potential reader rather than coax to read. Upto you. You can tell me or not is entirely up to you.
