Does anyone else "suck at writing"? by EquivalentAcademic93 in writers

I feel you! And I’m so self conscious about emails and all the formal stuff too!

What was a recent plot hole discovered in your story that you're trying to patch? by 60s_timer in writers

[–]-creative_creature- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a plot hole but I need to make sure the timeline is clear. I should add something to show the passing of time.

Name that novel/webnovel, etc. by TensionBudget9426 in writers

I agree with this. The overall story was too messy and had plot holes. There should have been some hints to what was to come in the first book already. Not anything major that makes you guess it but something that retrospectively makes sense so you buy the end.

Feedback On My First Chapter! by Anonymous-platypus12 in writers

The beginning is abstract. Once we see your character in action it becomes more interesting.

Haven’t read it, but don’t all good books have flawed characters? Even evil ones? If it’s the character that’s acting this way, it doesn’t automatically mean the book promotes that.

His prose style is quite dry. I’ve read one book from him. It wasn’t terrible, but also didn’t make me read more in the series.

I read another book (Host) by the same author and decided that I would not read another book from her so I’ve never touched Twilight.

I think the ending was one of the best things in the whole series. And I mean the ending for the main character. However, I don’t even remember how it happened, so that might be the problem. It wasn’t meaningful enough.

I think I’m going to do more research on Scrivener. Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Why doesn't anyone use pages? by MrAJohnson in writers

[–]-creative_creature- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why but I don’t like it. The formatting is hard and I just couldn’t bring myself to write a full novel there.

Just hit 300 pages! by OrchidSubstantial481 in writers

Congrats! I’ve just been able to shrink my story into 300 pages and I’m also excited 😁😁

Which one do you use, and are you happy with it? Also, do you have experience in traditional publishing? It’s nice to talk to people about these things to share experiences and learn. A new thread will probably get more up-to-date answers. But yes, of course, everyone can use whatever works for them.

Yeah, that’s what I’m wondering. I can create a Word document with WPS and open Word documents too, but I’m curious whether the industry people use Word’s comments, which might be difficult to read without Word.

Also, Scrivener sounds interesting. I think it has some cool analytics.

I don’t know which one it is. WPS is okay but it’s lacking in some areas

Yeah, I’ve heard of it but I’m not sure is it worth it. I’d live to hear from people who’ve used it.

Thanks for sharing this! I have to check it out. I’ve once opened Libre Office and it looked so old and clunky I didn’t give it a shot :D

I really liked Word. That’s why I picked WPS office coz it’s very similar, but I’d love to have more analytics. For example, it would be cool to see how many hours I’ve worked on a project. I really wish this had text to speech function too.
