    Got told AI did a better job than me.

    Struck a chord, I think ^.^

    Got told AI did a better job than me.

    What complete moron would even say somthing like that? If they prefer entertainment by AI, then I wish them good luck, let them go and read AI-generated stories and we'll see them back when they realize that the tenth story they read is still the same reguritated mindless drool as the first...

    Feedback wanted

    I think I quite like it, but the way it is now feels very... wordy. Especially a blurb should catch me in as little words as you can, or that's how I feel. Would you mind if I suggest something? From slave, to soldier, to king. For centuries, freedom was impossible for humans. But the odds...

    We're back! Want to track your weekly progress with me again?

    Wow, that is insane. Great going! On my side, I'm fully done plotting the hard bits, now I'm down to getting the words on paper. So I had a really late start, but I'm 5000 words in nou and planning to hit 7000 by the end of the weekend!

    How would I write a power to influence people's feelings without making it evil?

    What if the general struggles with it himself? To the point where it's not a power at all, but a weakness. He's got this ability and he doesn't want to use it but sometimes it just happens. It corrupts all his relationships with other people, and his faith in himself to connect with people in a...

    I'm currently racing to wrap up Chapter 44 (out of probably 55). Every chapter done now feels like getting me so much closer to the end... Still though, in actuality, there's quite some work left.

    Wow, absolute congratulations, that is such an achievement! Gives hope, that it really does happen. Now I can't wait to finish up my (first) draft too :D Keep on breathing!

    You turned out to be right. By now I've found a change in angle, a relatively small shift in motivation, and the rest of the plot is falling into place around it :D

    We're back! Want to track your weekly progress with me again?

    Oof, can I write out a bit of frustration here? Writing a final arc to a story is hard. I keep second-guessing my overarching plot-choices of this last part, so I end up writing out some very close-to-my-heart scenes I don't know if they'll even fit in the whole. I wonder if I should backtrack...

    Hi Dolly, Great to see you back here! Thanks for opening the thread, I'm in. I'm currently writing the final bit of my novel's full-text draft. It's a stand-alone so this is really the end of the story... It's a tough time for setting and sticking to goals because every other week I get...

    Received my first response from a publisher!

    Whoooah, keep going!

    How do you keep writing when the motivation fades?

    Have to be honest, I relate to this less than 0%. Probably shows that everyone's process is different ^.^

    Great five words, don't even read beyond those. Never let anything you hear back get you off your game :)

    Welcome, and congratulations on kicking this off. It's going to be a great journey, promise. About posting is... just go for it! We all know how it feels to put our work in front of other, so you're among friends.

    How do you keep writing when the motivation fades?

    Another golden tip you'll hear often: don't sit down to write something good. Don't sit down and tell yourself the scene on the page has to reflect the awesomeness of the scene in your head. Sit down to write the most crappy paragraph you'll ever write. Scribble anything. Just go. Never wait...
