Dude. You're writing a trunk novel, except it's where everyone can read it. Don't expect to become a success with the first thing you shit out of your brain. We can't all be Christopher Paolini.

So, the reason why I brought up peoples first novels is because of this. Its Chris's first novel too. If the authors decided to trash their first novel that they had written, regardless of it being published or not, it wouldnt be here. Its still considered their first novel regardless of them writing anything other because we dont know them personally. Sure, not all writers are good, I understand that.

@ChristodeBoyet I don't know where people get the idea that writing is easy.

Thats the most common thing with writers is that at first ya stumble, you may even fall and when you fall you start to cry. But because of that passion, you force yourself to get up and try again and no matter how many hits you take, you still fight to write. Writing isnt easy but its fun

Saying that what they are writing deserves to be in a trunk, is quite harsh and brings that writer down, do you understand? Its not even giving them a chance to expand the novel- its telling the writer to throw it away because its your first.

One day. But not today. It isn't even properly a novel yet.

I apologize, I didnt know you were a professional at identifying what is a novel and what isnt! I believe what considers a novel is the definition: a fictitious prose narrative of book length, typically representing character and action with some degree of realism.
And the word length of 50,000 words to 100,000 words. Anything less than 49,999 words are considered Novellas and anything under 14,999 words are Novelettes. However, I dont think anyone here is done with their novel unless you're premium so all the novels that are still updating are considered Serialized Novels
