Are you doubting your click bait abilities?

That’s great. That basically means as long as you write at least one episode a month, you’ve got that goal down with time to spare :open_mouth:

Am I the only one that feels stalked? :eyes:Jk :rofl:

Thank you for the check. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I’m feeling pretty awesome. I’m currently doing a major revamp on episodes 8 and 9, then I will work a little more on episode 4 of SoS

MONTHLY?! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

How many more to go till 10 episodes? Or how many episodes in general?

Outline? What’s an outline?

Nah, but fr, I have a…pretty clear idea of where I want the new story to go? I’m gonna use it as a cool down story from my main one because the themes are gonna get heavy. So I can’t complete the first goal before I start it. I need to do it soon.

I have 3 stories on going but I may discontinue one of them as I’m just not feeling it anymore. 1 is almost complete and the other is just there :joy::sweat_smile:. I have a new story coming out soon so I guess I already messed up on that haha.
I still have a bit until I reach an overall of 100k reads but I know that I will definitely reach it. I think if I was to update more regularly, I would’ve reached it already but I have so much going on so slower updates means less reads lol.

Click bait is one thing. People would actually need to read past the first chapter lol

How many more to reach your goal. I was not bothered to check the app or simply remember :flushed:

Awesome! Now I know to ask about both goals each month. Fun times :relaxed:

Totally understand that. If the motivation is gone, you won’t get anywhere by trying to force yourself.

LOL! But everything will contribute to that 100k goal… Then again, your main goal was to not do this… But also, you said one is almost complete… So if you time that right, you could be completing that one in time to start your new one anyway :blob_sun:

Are you doubting your ability to write something that keeps them reading now too? Come on Elise :unamused:

At least if I wait for Ivy, I’ll be able to hook people with lots of s*x.

I do have two endings fully planned! I know what I want to happen but for now I’m kinda stuck on how to proceed :sweat_smile:

I’m planning on having around 20 episodes, I don’t want it to be too long

Oh no :frowning: I remember around the time of the guideline change, you were concerned your story was too political. Is it that change that has got you stuck or is there something else blocking you?

Oh, that is a feeling a remember all too well. But you should be proud you’re even attempting it. It shows you really care about your work :blush:

Thank you :tipping_hand_woman:

One per quarter of the year! See, that’s not so bad :innocent:

My goal as a writer is to…
make my readers laugh or cry when they read my stories… :wink:
I want to strengthen my…
directing and walking towards stuff (that’s still a mystery for me…)
Something new I want to try is…
using choices and Questioning and Answers after every episode…
To achieve these goals I am going to…
try new writing skills, keep on writing and communicate with other writers :wink:
Something I achieved this year is…
I finished already two beautiful stories…

Not really, turned out that (fortunately) my story was clear. Some readers came up saying that my story is too confusing, so now I have to plan everything better and explain what’s going on more than I predicted :confused:

Well mad respect for caring about those readers who didn’t understand. I know so many authors who would just completely disregard that. But gah, that sounds like a lot of work :weary:

In all seriousness, I’m focusing my efforts on the Magicka contest at the moment. I’m not talking “a bunch of different stories releasing this year” being my goal. More like two at least is my goal and if I happen to release anything additionally, that would be cool. :hugs:

Well, the contest is a good place to start considering that deadline comes sooner than 2021 :rofl:
