Super speed. Out of all the powers ever, I always go back to speed. The drawback would be I'd spend even more time procrastinating.
And I've hit the 10 episode minimum. Now I've just got to make Jacaranda Street the best it can be before the competition ends.
If it does end up being problem, you could always post the images to your wall.
I'm hoping to have 19 chapters up by the end of the comp. Then once the winners are announced, I'll probably switch to twice a week updates or something. It depends on how many I have written by then (42 planned in total). For something I started up just for Writers Camp, I've gotten surprisingly at…
I made it to 5000 words! 5 more chapters to get to the episode minimum, but that's at least one part of the criteria fulfilled.
When is it a good idea to make a twitter account? Like, is there a certain subscriber count that one should be at beforehand or is it more of an extra layer of advertising and interacting with the webcomic/webnovel community?
Loyal at Price: 15 episodes (1/week since December), 429 views Their Shoes: 22 episodes (kinda sporadic since September 2017), 206 views Jacaranda Street: 4 episodes (every 2 days since Writers Camp started) 63 views
My entry has two chapters so far (trying best to update every second day)
I wanted to know which cover is better for my novel: Jacaranda Street (mostly light-hearted slice-of-life from an almost twelve-year-old's perspective) [image] or [image]
I wonder if the tapas staff are going to put any novels participating in the comp in the new & noteworthy section or if they'll exempt them from it.
Here is my entry! I'm going to try updating every two days for the whole month period just to make it more of a challenge.
I'm officially hyped for this. I'm doing a slice-of-life/drama novel in the style of diary entries from a 12 year old (Emma) called Jacaranda Street. It's about her getting to know her neighbour (saved Emma's life in the first chapter) and settling into high school. I've got the chapters planned out…
I swear I do that every single time. Like, oh I finished that chapter and it's past 5pm and I haven't had lunch.
I find it a little too easy to kill of characters, but there's always the moment after when you have a scene they'd normally be a part of and you go to write their line of dialogue, then there's this silence and you realise just how attached you were.
I always encounter the problem of falling behind on a writing project then promptly adding four more to the mix. And I have the need to complete them all so I never end up dropping any of them.
I think that the amount of views on the lowest viewed episode and the amount of subs is equally important. Just because someone has clicked on the work (or even subscribed), doesn't mean they're interested enough to read through the whole thing. And then there are those views you get on each epis…
[image] First result. I guess the phrase isn't as common as I thought.

Morally ambiguous space mercenary
Break the walls. See if getting rid of whatever is restricting the writing would have an effect you can or can't accept.
I naturally write in 1st person. I can write in 3rd and am perfectly fine with reading it, but there's just something more immersive about getting into a character's mind and seeing the world through their eyes. You could easily get to know a character's psyche in 3rd person (just look at Harry Pott…
Yeah, it's been featured for a few days now. I've been waiting until I'm not sick so I can work on editing and improving description (particularly in that first chapter).
Me. All the way up the top. Probably why people missed it.
Okay @ndtony1, so your grammar needs some work. The dialogue is missing a fair amount of punctuation that would make it easier to read (like commas and apostrophes). The pacing for chapter 0 is a bit odd. The main character goes from being wary of a strange voice to just going along with it without …
I thought it was weekly, but it didn't change at the start of this week (probably because of Christmas though).
This is from the start of the most recent chapter (The 'Ass' in Assassin) for Loyal at a Price: I leave the checkpoint and brace myself for the noise of Vimos Station. Hundreds of voices rise above each other, some selling merchandise, some just trying to be heard by the person next to them, and s…
Here's hoping 2018 is a calmer year.
Mine should be easy, yet remain oddly difficult: Stop giving myself more stories to work on (it takes away from current ones) Build a buffer instead of writing updates the day they're meant to be posted Increase the overall quality across all of my works
I'm trying to teach myself how to draw and the Doctor Who Christmas Special is in a couple of hours, so... [image]

Tina would take advantage of any traditions to make money, like selling 'authentic' holiday merchandise to unsuspecting people or claiming to follow a very Earth specific tradition while on another planet so she can double or triple her pay for that day. She'd be the kind of person to dress up as Sa…
