I got a request to have my series on Neovel and wanted to look into it a bit more, I was directed on the Discord server to ask here. Does anyone have experience mirroring a story on there? My concern is they're like another web story site I was asked to be on, where a quick search of their site go…

Strange, Weird, HUH? with Kindle Vella Writers

Yeah I'm getting the vibe so far that Amazon's still basically treating this thing like it hasn't launched yet. I'm curious as to when they'll actually get around to it and what kind of readership it'll have cuz right now it feels very ghost town at least for my story lol. So doing any read for read…

Strange, Weird, HUH? with Kindle Vella Writers

It'll be a bright day for Vella if that crew nopes out when they don't get their instant goldmine.

Strange, Weird, HUH? with Kindle Vella Writers

I'm trying a story on Vella and man... I'm telling myself it's a gamble to just stick with it until Amazon tries and actually fully launches the thing instead of a soft launch but it's so clunky to use compared to Tapas (just let me edit an episode without 2 days of waiting to double check it!) an…

Amazon vs Wattpad

I wouldn't take anything I have up on here to move it over with the rights stuff, but I am thinking of trying a new project I've been working on forever on Vella to experiment and have something on there as it launches.

If you're 25 or older show me your work!

I'm 27, I got tired of waiting to tell this story and I'm happy it's finally getting out there! (And that I don't have to keep revising the opening and can actually move the characters forward lol)

Why do people sell their babies?

I have other series that I am trying to approach from the mindset of like. When I try to pursue traditional publishing with them I have to accept that at a certain point they would be handed off to people and be entirely out of my control (having worked as an editor for a publisher it was kind of ja…

Are you interested in having your novel/comic published?

One of my longterm goals for my story is to have it published in print volumes like light novels but I feel like I need more chapters out/a bigger audience built up first. But it's definitely something on my list!!

What are your thoughts on false/decoy protagonists?

If that's the game I'm thinking of (it's the third entry of a series that started on PSP that involves a school?) that's what's got me thinking of this premise/concept again because I started playing it recently and YEAH.

What are your thoughts on false/decoy protagonists?

This is something I've been thinking about for a project for a loooooong while that I've been dabbling with doing something with again. "A False Protagonist (also known as a Decoy Protagonist) is a character who claims to be the real protagonist of the story. However, as soon as he/she is killed …

Are you an instinctual writer?

I love learning about writing craft, but I also try not to let the rules lock me into stuff enough to make me disinterested in writing. For example Blake Snyder's beat sheet is fantastic and a great tool to write a tight 3 act story, but if you're not trying to write a concise script that wraps up i…

Overarching conflict/end goal for fantasy story?

Here's some stuff about character motivation from my notes from writing classes that might help for MC driving force! Questions to ask about main character at start: 1. What is their inciting incident? 2. What do they want? 3. Why do they want it? 4. What is their object of desire? 5. Who are they…
