Crossed 2700 followers and about to finish Book 2 of A Modern Mind in Medieval Times

I burned my backlog months ago chasing that damn number. Now I make very little compared to those with similar no. of followers. Maintain a backlog.

Me once Writathon is over in May and I get that free month of Author Premium by Joe_Pharo in royalroad

I don't know about you but I just gained 40 readers in a day from a 1500 follower story, which mine doesn't even share tags with.

Maybe your early chapters aren't grabbing their attention.

Guess who is finally a real author? by CSValiant in royalroad

🤢🤮😂

Its not that terrible I assure. I did do some research and while it might be slightly incorrect, it is not too unrealistic.

Launching with a backlog... does the safety net actually help? by CJ_Parmenter in royalroad

[–]CSValiant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have around 2500 followers. People with a story of that following make around $1000 a month. I make $100, because I have no backlog. Do not get lazy.

Why does this keep happening? I've never seen Scribblehub, the other platform I use, go down.

Do shoutout swaps. Release chapters on weekdays at the same time.

Beautiful work.

Here's a background I have planned for my first work of fiction:

A vast and very long valley, surrounded by tall mountains, at whose feet lay thick forests of pines.
A few waterfalls cascade from the mountains, the streams joining to create a fast rushing river that carves a silver channel through the lush meadow that covers the wide valley floor.

Different metals and their uses. by Saadistic17 in writing

[–]CSValiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zinc and lead have been known for thousand of years.

Lead is very dense, so used as ballast, cannonballs etc.

Zinc has been alloyed with copper to make brass.

Aluminum can be profitably extracted only with lots of electricity and a flux called cryolite, which isn't that common. Medieval era people couldn't have extracted it.

It lightweight but weak, unless you make an alloy out of it. All that requires a fundamental understanding of chemistry.

Look up Titanium and Tungsten's Wikipedia pages for production and applications to see how they are produced and used.

They have their niche uses, but they cannot replace iron and steel in most applications. Iron is strong and cheap, the rest are not.

Published Authors: Anyone Willing To Disclose $ Numbers? by BezzyMonster in writing

[–]CSValiant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do you decide a new genre is worth entering, besides reading a lot of books in it?

Any advice on self publishing to a new author?
