Re: Choices - Your MC, brats or Polish sausage?
Or that writer could tell you in detail three different ways to tan leather in the absence of modern tools. How to siege a castle. How to defend one. How to build a ship that could make it across the ocean. (...)

Choices - Your MC, brats or Polish sausage?
As main characters are often some sort of extension of the creator, it's bratwurst for most my MCs. Donuts for Jep. Of course.

Re: Follower Count is Not a Mark of Your Worth as an Artist and Neither is Money (So why do you write?)
So why do you write? Followers? In the hopes that you strike it big? Nothing wrong with that. Do you write for yourself? Or do you write for the joy of sharing with others and having discussions with fans? (...)

Re: Checking up.
Meh... Plodding along in my final chapter, debating an epilogue to punch out any wonder on issues... and I'm left wondering myself. It's a "good chapter" as much as it should be, except I'm full (...)

Re: General thoughts about pre-writing?
Likely to get answers across the board on this one. My first, Jep, was a completed work when I started posting. Jackpot is something current, and I am working about 6-8 chapters ahead of postings. (...)

Re: What's Wrong With Smut?
I still have self-loathing for squeezing Lisa Spangler's buttocks while posing for our 3rd grade class portrait shoot. The MMA fighter? If it is, I'd never know. Haven't seen Lisa since the 7th grade.... (...)

Re: What's Wrong With Smut?
As for me, I use allusion and reference, mostly subtleties, even in the whorehouse scenes, few of that variety as they are. The most flagrant scenes all end in a dead guy... the sex was "a distraction"... (...)

Re: What's Wrong With Smut?
The nature of sex is to enjoy it while it's happening and to be repulsed and filled with self-loathing when you're finished. What? I went to a catholic school. Beautiful! I KNOW that Catholic Manifesto!!! (...)

Re: What's Wrong With Smut?
And the thing is, they're in the middle of a big battle over a planet. It's going to start getting in the way. Trust me. GREAT line, right here! As for me, I use allusion and reference, mostly subtleties, (...)

Re: Sometimes it only takes a single active reader
Da boost does feel good! The input I especially appreciate. What ticks are in the novel are not always seen as one pumps it out with cursory edits. Always good to have other eyes and a willing contributor. (...)

Re: How do you guys keep getting all those followers?
I got 140,000 words and something around 50-53 chapters, 10 followers on two stories, a combined 3.somethingsmall rating and I promise you my work knocks the lights out on these two high-achievers mentioned (...)

Re: How do you guys keep getting all those followers?
For those here who are suffering any sense of insecurity, just remember this: "Dungeon of Horrors" is a horror story (surprise!) It was begun and abandoned in 2018. 3 chapters and all of 17 whopping, (...)

Re: How do you guys keep getting all those followers?
Well, as for me and mine, all 10 of them, I found I only need to be a Bonafide bore, and mix in a little charm... and some hokey book covers without the expertise to water plants, let alone create really (...)

Re: How to (Not) Deal with Criticism
Brian, good sir, I do wholly and honestly believe there is a place for your work where the people will not only love it, they'll crave it too. In fact, I've been experiencing DTs waiting on your new releases. (...)

Re: How to (Not) Deal with Criticism
Last thing from me on this one, the 0.5ers, the fly-by insulters, think there's some "power" in their assailing of one's creation. It's the power to show what limited self-esteem they have. If (...)

Re: Grammar that irks me, and the authorial voice
We've got to work on your covers. Hehe... don't I know it! My problem is I am such a non-player in the arena. Just write and hope the cream rises and God grants me a kingdom! I have nothing to (...)

Re: How to (Not) Deal with Criticism
please remember why you did the work in the first place. And the reason is never going to be that you wanted to reach THAT "reader"/reaction specifically. Your work will reach who it needs to. BOOM! (...)
