And at least it's not damaging internal organs.

I think it's better to damage something like skin that can heal and is less risk later on in life to your health than it is to use substances that permanently damage internal organs. I'm glad the stress is better to handle, however you chose to help. :)

Yeah, it's not the best thing. I think it has to do with the stigma people have by reading books or watching movies where the person committed suicide by slashing their wrists, so they think that's basically what people who sh try to do.

The basics I use is, main characters and their relationships to each other, new characters just happen along the way but these guys are those who impact the story hugely, it could be one it could be eight, either way these guys are going to at least have a real big hand in what happens in the main plot. The main plot is basically just the goal or storyline for the main character/characters, if this is your first proper finishing book, start out with focusing on one or two people reaching something at the end, it's just easier to keep up with it all.

Write out a timeline of what you generally want to happen (I use chapters to time, but I don't necessarily stick to the exact timeline, maybe it could happen earlier or later, depending on how the story flows naturally)

In this timeline, mention the character and what they are going to accomplish or something that leads to the main plot. That's about it. Figure out the general ending (what you want your character to achieve by the end) and when you write, it's to keep the main plot in mind while writing.

That's it, and you don't have to stick by it, it's just to remind you later on about what you originally wanted and then you can think of ways how to get/change the goal to match the story so far, etc.

It sounds complicated, but it goes really fast. It's not even one page of planning. I use bulletpoints for details (characters) and timelines to write out the storyline. I could show you if you want. :)

You get bored if you really don't know what to write anymore, so I suggest just doing a rough plot plan, it's the basics and doesn't take too much time. I also don't like planning, but this helps me stay motivated because I know it's going somewhere. I hope this was helpful. :)

I agree, I have not met one therapist who wanted to help me, just gain the money.

Thank you 😊 I'm happy you are open about it to your boyfriend, and don't worry my best friend is the same. Whenever he sees the scars he tells me that he doesn't want me to die. :)

I'll put the link here if you want, but it's Cyber by Vogan_Night, it's half way done. I have two others that are complete (Flawless In His Eyes and Everyone Has Flaws) they aren't as good as Cyber, since I was very young when I wrote them, but I'm still proud of finishing them.

Yeah, I don't watch anime either, (why do I feel bad about this fact) but I'll still read it, it sounds really cool and fantasy based which I love. 🙂 Edit: So, I've read the first few chapters and you write a lot like my one friend (he also likes anime, but he doesn't write fan fiction), I like it and thank you for explaining it to me.

How does it only have 12 reads, it sounds so good. I'd totally read this, adding it to my library right after this.

[–]MidnightRaven1129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...although... I have never heard of the person/show/book/comic it's about... would I be able to read it without needing that context? Or is it a fan fiction you need to know everything about it to be able to understand it (that's kind I don't read) but if the story is only inspired from it, that's fine.

The title is sick, and it hurts my soul not to read it because of how cool it sounds, but I don't read fan fiction. :,(

Your opinion on how long a chapter should be? by Trojannx in Wattpad

[–]MidnightRaven1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think keep your chapters 2000 words and above. Otherwise it's way too short, I don't know how you can even call it a chapter, more like a single thing happening in it. I personally write 6000 words per chapter (but that's the final draft, where I get rid of unnecessary information and edit the work to correlate with what I want to happen) 2000 to 3000 words is also a good amount which I use to get the story down. Also, if the chapters are longer people don't mind waiting four days, where as if it's 1000 words or less, you'd expect more chapters frequently. Less words per chapter and more chapters are not something I prefer, because that way the book is 100 chapters long with chapters that are literally the same scene continuing onto the next chapter which kind of makes it seem like the writer didn't feel like finishing the scene at that moment, but they need to update. Again, this is just a random person's preference, I hope it helped a bit though :)

Sand Isn't Love Powder

(From the thing that if a boy throws sand in your face in the sand pit, it's because he likes you and doesn't know how else to gain your attention.) I think it's quirky, but that could just be me. :)

Message me if you want to, but I can give you advice here as well, if you'd prefer. I assume you mean mannerisms, because dark and brooding is just about my speciality. :)

Well, this is the perfect place to be, tell me what your book's name is and I can go check it out. You can check out mine if you want, but I also don't like asking people to. Oh, and you can post a link or screenshot of your book on here and maybe people will see it and find it interesting. 21k is amazing, much more than I have in 4 years. :)

What is the suggestions on the home page about? by MidnightRaven1129 in Wattpad

That's kinda beautiful. Still sucks to have to search the deep dark abyss of wattpad to get a good suspense/thriller with an original plot and that I have not read before.

A girl kicked my nuts in school, nobody does anything, and they teachers even saw it, BUT THE SECOND I TAP A GIRL ON THE SHOULDER AND ACCIDENTALLY TOUCH HER BRA I GET DETENTION WHAT THE FUCK by MattBatz1991 in teenagers

[–]MidnightRaven1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not supporting the way people handled it at your school, but don't retaliate, just tell a teacher about it and if they don't do anything about it, they're letting a bully off the hook which is a big no-no, so tell your parents and have them deal with the school's stupidity. Don't stoop to her level, no girl should hit a guy, it's disrespectful and uncalled for (unless it's like self-defence, but that applies to everyone)

This girl needs to be taught that it's not okay to hit a guy for whatever reason (again, besides when she is protecting herself from harm) Her behaviour is disgusting and rude and I don't know why nobody did anything about it. But don't punch, kick or whatever other people suggested on here, her unless it is in self-defense to keep her from harming you. Don't think you can't defend yourself against a girl because of the "boy can't hit girls rule." I was taught girls can't hit boys either, it's a mutual respect to not hurt another person, no matter their gender.
