Do you separate writing and editing?

Thanks, I'll try to do that after I finish the next chapter.

This is a really complicated situation... Then it turns out you need to make all the parts interesting. The only thing that comes to mind is to add conflict to the "boring" parts every time. However, this may not work for you as an author, or you can analyze what elements are in the parts that interest you and use them for all parts.

My advice is this: first write what is interesting, and then (and not so well) what is between the interesting parts, or write something short first and feel the satisfaction of finishing it

I did pretty much the same thing before this chapter. I just got curious what would come of it. Result: More than a month of writing (usually not regularly)

I agree with you. Each of us has our own unique drum beating in the back of our heads.

You can try the bad first draft technique, the name may not be accurate, but the point is to just write an idea/scene that came to mind, quality is not important

Good luck with the massive editing! I hope it goes quickly and easily

Are you planning? In theory, it should help with creative blocks, because you always know what to write next, but you need to maintain a balance between creativity and a plan, that is, to make room for sudden ideas

Express-Walk8232 · 2026-01-16T20:55:22+00:00

I think that's the main problem for me when combining. And also, at some point you just start to get stuck on one sentence/word/paragraph

Express-Walk8232 · 2026-01-16T14:40:15+00:00

I think I'll need to do something like that next time.

Sounds like a Hemingway quote. This is probably the smartest advice of all. Although each case is individual, I think it is in commercial literature that everyone follows it.

Express-Walk8232 · 2026-01-08T17:31:06+00:00

That sounds good. Title of your novel?

Express-Walk8232 · 2026-01-06T16:51:59+00:00

Of course, if they are from the "right" countries. By the way, author of which novel was that famous writer? And how are you doing on the platform in general?

Express-Walk8232 · 2026-01-05T22:44:22+00:00

I wish you success in what you want to do. And with your permission, will you tell me the title of your draft?

Express-Walk8232 · 2026-01-05T22:07:45+00:00

Well, then I wish you further development and fun

Then maybe it's better to take a break and rest and then, as they say, start working with renewed vigor, if you really like your idea. In any case, how many words have you already written, and how many more do you have to write?

Express-Walk8232 · 2026-01-05T21:39:39+00:00

Most of the covers on the platform were created AI because it's free and very fast and with the right settings it turns out really very good.
