That's something I am very concerned about :joy: That I'll start posting my art and lore, and then a bunch of people will think it's a comic. Even so, I wish I was a good artist to do it :sob:

That's how I've been working my twitter as well. I don't have that many followers though :laughing:

I was about to mention how a huge problem of mine is that I'm not the best drawer out there :joy: My main issue is that I can't digitalize anything. I'm a traditional sketch and pencil drawer. It's hard finding artists when you're on a budget sadly, which is why I was wondering how else to advertise. I t…

I have definitely tried the tags, but I mainly got people who did exactly what you're saying, spamming :disappointed_relieved: I'm also bad at self-advertisement :joy: I never thought of finding a tribe of writers! That actually sounds pretty cool. I think I've been generalizing writers when writers are as diverse as genres. P…

I agree! I've come across several quote posts, and have tried it myself. I stopped when they didn't work though. Telling myself to keep polishing, editing, and continuing is my pep talk before going to sleep every night :joy: I truly want to believe there's some sort of balance, though. I see so many w…

Hello everyone! In a world where the majority prefers visuals to text, how do you present your books on social media (Instagram, Twitter, etc)? In my writing history, I've made about four social media accounts where I can connect with my readers , and attract new ones. This worked for me back when…

I just read the entire comic. It's super cute and fun to read :smiley: Also, 10/10 relate xD I believe it does change. As a reader, I actually love seeing the artist's improvement and growth as I read the chapters. Especially when it's been up for a while and I am binging. Personally, it makes me feel ha…

[image] A knight for a knight :slight_smile: . My story is about a knight having to take a boy who thinks he fell from the sky back home.

@auburnmorrow Changing it for every book sounds fun actually. Has it ever affected your writing style or flow (In a way where things play out differently)?

Oh, this another good one! Thank you!

I agree, thank you :smiley:

This is my current style! How do you differentiate it when it comes to inner thoughts. Just through narration?

Oooh, I like this! I also like how you wrote, "I finally tapped my thoughts to him" instead of, "I texted back". That's pretty neat!

Hello everyone! I'm having trouble when it comes to characters texting inside a book. I've done it before, and it's worked great, but I was curious to see if there were better ways ( styles readers have received well that is ). Would anyone mind sharing excerpts from their books (or other books) a…

I'm looking forward to reading "Somebody's Monster". I am purchasing it from Amazon :slight_smile:

Oh, no, no you didn't! I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. I agree with everyone in this chat actually. Everyone has made great points, hence why I said writing can be grey. Each point of view has its own challenge.

Can you recall any character names?

Oh I definitely agree! Interestingly enough though, I've found several novels (ones older than 20 years old) that do that. Some examples would be Anne Rice, and E.M Forster. Both authors like to write about characters who delve into the mundane and simple, leading to detailed descriptions like the o…

Cool, thanks for posting this! I've never done the list of things I said/didn't while writing, I may try this. Before I start the story I create an outline heavily focused on character development. I write down the shifts in personality and what causes them. My first few chapters are also heavily…

My novel's genre: -Fantasy -Romance -Adventure My novel's themes: -Finding Home -Self Revelations and Finding Yourself -Trust -Believing in others

No problem! Good luck on your writing adventures :slight_smile:

Hello! So in this story, character B is being assisted by character A. Character B believes he comes from a different world, the fabled kingdom in the sky. Character A is helping him return to said world even though he doesn't believe him, that is until he starts questioning things.

No problem! Glad I could help :slight_smile:

Oh been theeeere. He was looking at me as if I was crazy. And my professor, kept staring at me when he asked questions and I just smiled dreamily and stared.

@RiidDisBuk Hello! First question: Tapas allows a total of 15,000 words. For a regular published work, the recommended is 3,000 to 5,000 words. The average is 2,000 to 2,500. Second Question: You're totally fine! Most people are reading on their phones, which is why it's recommended to…

Tapas has been my best experience hands down. Everyone is so nice and accepting. I went back to Wattpad after deleting it but only because it was my first server. Some tips are tag, tag, tag like your life depends on it, and social media. Tumblr: Helped me a lot with promoting. Trick about tum…

Understood! I'll get back to you :slight_smile:

Yup! I have a character named Reece. He's a young adult and works as a mechanic in a small shop. Brown hair with strays of lighter brown, handsome, smooth, Greece Lightning type of guy. One day I was out trying to buy tires. I happen to stop by a local mechanic shop asking for a price and lo and …
