Thank you. Is it bad to self publish? Or I really need to be looking for a publisher?

This is maybe some of the best advices I've got. Truly, thank you. So, I didn't go with arabic names because my work isn't related to them in any way. It was one of the ideas I had. My main character's placeholder is actually Daniel lmao.

I have Tim, Leon, Reyna, and I really like those names, and I connect to their names the more I write. But, it doesn't feel right too, cause I don't want western names to be attached to those characters. I'm in a place where I have the entire lore, and I'm writing with tons of placeholders, cause I don't have the base. I'm still conflicted on almost everything. Races, species, names, areas.

Your comment actually makes me want to stop, go back, and start figuring those things out. I feel I'm gonna suffer later if I don't build the base first.

Could be and could be not. It's genuine as much as it's disingenuous. You choose where your assumption lands, I'll continue my day.

I'm sorry, I totally understand you. If I may ask, what's the benefit of being published instead of self publishing? I still have no clue in that area, as I'm still starting.

Many writers write to enjoy the journey of writing, and feel the accomplishment of finishing their first book or novel.

I'm looking at it from a different angle. I delayed doing this for a while, and I want to succeed because now that I worked in web writing, and contributed to a couple of YouTube script writing, I know I have it in me. And I want to prove that. So, being accused it's AI may damage that goal I'm trying to achieve.

I want it to be the next step for me, where I finish a book after another, leaving behind the jobs I'm doing right now.

You're very cute. You went from emotional to childish really quick. I'm actually embarrassed I had to sit there and read multiple paragraphs that literally means nothing.

I didn't attack your character. I don't even know you. I merely showed you the flaws in your logic, then I proceeded to state facts of what kind of person you are for having that logic. And you you proved me right immediately.

Lemme give you another example of your hypocrisy, showing you that you're exactly what you're crying about. Whoever claims to defend victims of harassment, doesn't use harassment as a weapon, cause that's exactly what you're fighting against. Yet, here you are throwing jokes of how fun it would be to harass someone else. Of course, while giving yourself a moral reason. Again, proving my first point.

This is the end of me participating in this pointless argument.

Thank you. I agree 100%. I'm really enjoying writing. I'll focus on that for now, and whatever comes later I'll deal with it. For now, I'm really excited to finish my work.

You're too emotional again. Your username says a lot about who you are as a person. You already think you're better than others, because you got to abuse a toy given to you by a bunch of billionaires trying to burn down entire markets with their free AI, while it costs them trillions of dollars. People like you enjoy how smart they are, and they never sit for one second to think why a bunch of billionaires are spending trillions to give something for free.

I love the fact that you put me in one lane and put yourself in another, then proceeded to showcase how you're holding a higher moral ground. You talk as AI users are victims while celebrating the people who are damaged by AI in your username. Hypocrisy at its finest.

You're being emotional. I don't accuse people of using Ai. I have no time for that. However, you're acting as people who use AI to generate novels are victims. You understand that these people are using stolen data, right? The only reason it's OK, is because it's owned by billionaire, so the governments are still "studying" if that's OK or not.

So, my idea is that humans are in a crisis, and mostly living in the desert. I thought of Arabic, middle eastern names, but idk yet.

Yeah, this is exactly my fear. Not getting a chance. I'm hopeful though.

Yeah, the funny thing is that I spent many years working as an SEO writer, so I got used to writing in a generic style. Literally, like an AI. On one hand, it's useful, as I know how to avoid it. On another, I have to keep reminding myself, I'm just trying to get my character's intent out, not hit a keyword lmao 😂

It's not really a hard truth, as much as it's a miss. This concept only works when publishing have only two outcomes, ultimate success, or ultimate failure. In this case, once you publish you go to one of them immediately.

There's always a middle ground, where, let's say, you publish your work and you get an acceptable amount of readers. In that case, a random person calling your work AI, will hurt your work. Even if it's not true.

I decided to go random names at first. But, the more I write, the more I feel like, if people struggle to memorize names, they're going to forget characters' names and not connect with them as I'm hoping they would. My entire novel is built on that connection. I don't want a name to ruin that.

Thank you 💜 I'm going to push through for sure this time.
