I have a questions here for you all who are an author here.
I really like to write a stories and Idk where to begin or where to write, however I had a lot of stories i want to share with readers. I did outline the stories but it's not turns out how you original authors write.
What is your advice for a new beginner authour
What is the limit of words count?
What about the contract with you and webnovel?
TIA
Hello, I'm a budding author. I have received a contract but haven't signed it yet so I can't tell you much on that front.
About the writing of stories though, there's no real hard and fast writing rule that authors follow. Some people like to plan out their novels to extreme details, and some just begin writing with no plan, going chapter by chapter. Follow the method that works for you, one that churns your inspiration. As for me, my methodology consists of planning out a loose overarching plot with vague details that solidify as I write.
Other than that, enjoy the process of writing and feel your characters. My stories always end up taking a turn that I don't anticipate because of how life like the characters become to me and how their decisions impact the story. So on that note, I'll add one final thing that I wished someone had told me when I first began to write - just start! Do not give a rat's arse about how good it is (don't listen to the perfectionist in you), just start. Put those words down and give birth to a story that you enjoy penning.
may_may A lot of my own experience is as per melonbread up there. In terms of writing and the best advise is just start, once you have your basic outline.
I did outline the stories but it's not turns out how you original authors write.
For me, when I first started, having an outline helped a lot in terms of ensuring that it actually ends. I hated books that went on a hiatus and eventually dropped (hiatus but continues is fine) because you invested yourself in it and then get left hanging. That's part of the reason why I started writing as well. Funny.
The main plot must be there. The ending must be there. A basic idea of how it starts and end is important but other than that, go free. Go wild. If you stick too much to what you plan, it may not work out - also, the more you write and interact with your readers, the more ideas you get.
I even had some additional arcs (based on reader's request) and changed the initial FL that I had planned. What I ended up with was a much better FL, to be honest. As you write, you improve. That is the important bit.
What is your advice for a new beginner author
Write on something you are familiar with i.e. your life experience. Create characters based on people you know. DO the research i.e. if you are writing about how someone uses a gun, for example, then unless you know it - read up on it. It makes it more convincing.
Oh yes.
Be careful of comments, too. Cherish the positive, use the negative as constructive criticism (unless, it's pure hate and trolling. Ignore those) and try not to let it get to you.
What is the limit of words count?
Minimum is 1000 words before you can even publish a chapter. Webnovel recommends having at least 2 releases a day with a minimum of 1000 words though I would say, only write what you can and is comfortable with. Once contracted though, you would aim for 1,500 words for 4 months because that is for the MGS.
What about the contract with you and webnovel?
I don't know what you mean by this but meh. I'm not one of those authors that earn thousands a month. Know that after MGS, if your income is less than $200, you don't get paid. The money will accumulate until it reaches that amount.
If you're writing for the money, then ... I would say, don't. It's like trying to be famous by acting. Only some people truly earn the big bucks from it and it depends on opportunity, luck as well. You could be a great writer but if it's not within the scope of what people like, or is 'lost' in the thousands of books out there... you get my drift. Write for fun, write to get your words across.
Write to be happy.
So the money becomes an additional bonus and not the drive after MGS. It keeps you sane.
ALL THE BEST
Yo, Antihero here. Looking at the other replies, it seems credentials are needed, so I have two contracted original novels.
Basically, the reply before me pretty much nailed it. I outline a beginning, middle, and end for the entire story. Then I outline a beginning, middle, and end for each volume so that everything will come together no matter what I write in between.
Then I just write, think what you would do and say if you were the one in those situations. Ask yourself what the consequences could be of everything your MC does. Then go with what you feel is most interesting to yourself.
I've even completed the final volume and volume five even though I'm still writing volume three for release. It's a good method cause it's like splitting one big story into smaller ones. If you get writer's block, then you can write a later volume and keep it saved for later.
Anyway, good luck to you. Hope this helps 
may_may
Hmm for credentials I guess, I can say that I have two contracted books both with over a million views and thousands of collections. I am also an editor and have been editing xianxia novels as well as fantasy novels for about four years now.
If you have a hard time to start a story and feel like you may end up dropping it, do this. Make The beginning and the end of the story first. That way, even if you don't feel like it, you know where you will be able to end it. then you can simply chart out the plots into different arcs as you want and progress the story from the beginning.
Make major and minor arcs as you write a story. This way you won't be burned out and will still have the motivation to write.
Like this, it's the shortest comment 
I would recommend against learning the three act structure. It's not exactly a good template.
Hi May_May, nice to meet you here. I am a new author as well. Working on my first original fiction for last two months. But I did have a very steep learning curve.
Three primary things that I thought were most helpful to me:
1) Read and build your vocabulary. I am not talking about flowery words but build vocabulary so you can have the most fitting word to write what you want to write.
2) Write as much as you can to be comfortable to play around with how you express something. It only comes with practice.
3) Get reviews. They are critical. Get at least 5 to 6 eyes to go through your chapter and give you honest review of your work, not just for the sake of review swaps. It really helped me early on with my fiction and I was able to make some critical changes that really helped my story.
4) DO NOT BURNOUT. Trust me. This happens very often, especially with new writers. The key is to not burn so bright that the fire extinguish too soon.
Hope these help. I am sure you will do great. Wishing you all the best. :D
