I think the best way to measure your popularity is occasionally. By which I mean, try to not think about it, which is incredibly difficult to do when you get alerts for every like or comment. I myself can never resist checking to see how my new chapter is ‘doing’ but I tell myself that I’m just...

Thanks, I'll post a bit of my writing to show how I struggle. And thankyou gene.sis as well, that helps to keep in mind. Uh, warning though, this bit implies some incest and involves a magical curse mind controlling a family at Halloween. But it's the best example I could find, I only have the...

Heh and one pro tip: remember to go incognito! I always do when I’m looking up anatomy (never hurts to make sure you’re using the right name of a body part!) and also when you research other things. A couple of times I wanted to know how to describe women’s clothing and didn’t remember incognito...

It's funny, I've seen a million ads for Grammarly but never once checked it out. So, if I write in Scrivener and then just past my chapters into CHYOA, would I just need one extra step? Is it something that runs on it's own or do you have to paste your passages into their system? Really, I have...

Hello, this is something I think about a fair bit - how do *you* write? No, no, I'm not asking where your ideas come from, we all know the answer to that is the perverted demon that floats above your head and whispers to you while you sleep - I mean what word processing tools or productivity...

Interesting, and some good points raised. I think mostly it's just people either being unfamiliar with POV when they start their story or missing the categorization when they first hit publish. Now, if someone could explain to me how tense works in 3rd person writing I'd appreciate it! For some...

That's good advice, and your current setup for American Fox in London is fantastic already. Having multiple smaller images laid out horizontally is a really good idea, thanks!

Hello! I have wanted to make this thread for while but never found the time, until now apparently. As a newbie author here, I have found this site to be an unusually friendly and inspirational place, and I’m constantly impressed by the quality of writing and the imagination on display. There...

No, no I sure haven't. I have never even looked at markdown, I just use the simple editor. I guess I'll check it out, thanks!

Oh wow that’s a good idea, much better looking layout and so simple I’m embarrassed it never occurred to me. I’ll definitely do that to improve it as is. Thanks!

Hi, I have a page on my story for the cast and setting but I’ve always been unhappy with it. The formatting and layout is just ugly to me, and I can’t think of a way to do it properly. Do any of you have any examples of well laid out ‘cast’ pages I can use as inspiration? In my head I want...

Yeah, I've kind of just kept continuing the main storyline and I think it's the right call. My alternate pathways include some real changes in tone and I think I'd struggle with that if I was moving back and forth. Thanks for the advice, and for checking out my story!

Hello, this weekend I decided to actually try to write a story instead of just thinking about maybe trying to write a story. And while I'm pretty pleased with the result so far, I'm especially pleased with how much fun I've had doing it...
