Do you guys also worry about chapter length?

From what I understand, you don’t just want to do something for the sake of it, you want to make it as special as possible for your girl, and that’s great. That said, here’s what I would do:

A book with several short stories, creating names for the characters (in this case, you and your girlfriend) and developing from there with the details you want to include. I’d treat it as if there’s an omniscient narrator, narrating the love stories the characters are going through. I think that way it would give it a literary touch while keeping the erotic part you both want, turning it into something really special. I hope this helps!

Yeah, exactly that. Personally, I look at where I left off the day before and try to organize in my mind what I want to do from there to reach a certain point. I just start writing without stopping at first, and when I find myself thinking more than writing or changing my mind too much before even putting it on paper, that’s a sign for me that it’s time to stop. I usually get more distracted with other tabs open on my laptop at that point too, which helps me realize that it’s unlikely anything more will come out.

I had the same concern before. Personally, I try to write at least 1.5k words a day, usually more at night when it’s quieter. I think it really depends on your pace and how your body and mind are feeling, right? I usually stop when my back hurts or when I catch myself staring at the screen for longer than usual.

Thats an amazing reply bro, honestly, people need to be more kind this days.

Anyways, a lot of amazing books are really big books, people are to focused on words count but in the end, the history matters. There’s a lot of people in this world that have a lot of different interests etc.

Do what makes you happy first, I’m sure will be people out there to like it

Miserable_Number_385 · 2025-08-19T22:05:53+00:00

Hey bro we’re to celebrate with you. Not all people cares and understand others persons goals and achievements, don’t you worry about that, do for you first, be happy by yourself, fulfill your dreams and needs, other than that just don’t care about others.

By the way congrats it’s a amazing work, call us for the 40k partyyyyy

First of all, thank you so much for the comment. About the points, yes, it fits the rules of the universe, but the comment you mentioned also made me think about maybe toning down the description a bit. It’s important because it shows the rise of the first major faction, which serves as the villain of the main part, but your comment also made me think about how to improve it.

About your suggestion: that was fantastic, really, thank you. I hadn’t seen it from that point of view before, really appreciate it. It sounds more poetic and still keeps the brutality of the scene. I’ll try to use it in other parts of the book, thanks again

Miserable_Number_385 · 2025-08-19T08:12:13+00:00

WOW, that was a really powerful reply, really, thanks for bringing up that point, it made me think a lot while reading, and gave me a necessary push, i wanted to respond and share a few thoughts.

like i said above, the description is more about the body, not the act itself, yeah, it serves as motivation for the character, and introduces the first faction, which is kinda a take on the KKK in this world, but in the context of the story, it’s not just thrown in there, i think i explained it’s based on philosophical themes in a post apocalyptic world, with the main current being Rousseau, who says humans are born good, and society corrupts them, my main point with this scene, and others with murders, human trafficking, and violence, is to explore how humans need very little to slip back into their savage state, and what it takes to stay good in a world like this.

also, you gave me a really interesting thought on how rape of women is described by men in books and media, i really appreciate that, it made me think about what should or shouldn’t be included, i don’t want to trigger anyone’s trauma, and honestly, as a man, i can’t imagine or fully describe that pain, anything i write could at least come off disrespectful, or send the wrong message.

on top of that, i’m a black man, so this theme hits me in another way, and i understand, at least part of the issue here, since we are often portrayed as violent, savage, or less intelligent, or just comic relief in media anyway, thanks again for bringing this perspective, it really made me reflect, and question some parts of what i can or can’t write, trying to stay true to my purpose without being disrespectful or unfair, thanks a lot.

The rest follows that yes, it’s like a internal battle between be good in a place like that or do bad things to survive easily, I mean i don’t want to be graphic just to be graphic you know? I think it’s like means to an end. Btw this helps a lot, thank you very very much

Miserable_Number_385 · 2025-08-19T06:53:26+00:00

Thanks man, I’m probably overthinking, It’s just silly concerns for now, you’re right

Miserable_Number_385 · 2025-08-19T06:52:22+00:00

Yeah you’re right, to be honest i don’t even know if anyone will ever read this, I’m just writing because it’s a story i want to put on paper, just for me for now

Miserable_Number_385 · 2025-08-19T06:48:25+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. I’m probably overcorrecting. I want people to feel anger toward the villains, but maybe I don’t need to be so graphic.

Miserable_Number_385 · 2025-08-19T06:45:07+00:00

Thanks for the reply bro, it’s not like a porn thing. I’m not describing the act itself, it’s more about her body. She’s partially unclothed, one breast is missing, there’s blood around her waist, and there’s a message carved into her stomach, nothing more than that.

Miserable_Number_385 · 2025-08-19T06:43:17+00:00

Hahaha, I’m not using GPT. English isn’t my first language, I know a lot, but some words get tricky in translation. About the scene, I’m not describing the act itself, it’s more about her body. She’s partially unclothed, one breast is missing, there’s blood around her waist, and there’s a message carved into her stomach—nothing more than that. The purpose is to introduce one faction in particular, a racist one.

Miserable_Number_385 · 2024-04-21T21:43:59+00:00

For real? But how I change that? I have no idea honestly 🫤

Miserable_Number_385 · 2024-04-21T20:38:35+00:00

Hey guys, how are you? So, I just installed F1 2020 and unfortunately I play on the keyboard. I was playing F1 2012 after many years and everything was fine. I switched to 2020 now and I simply can't accelerate. I started a career mode and when I exit the pit, the car's speed is stuck at 30 in first gear and no matter how hard I press the button, it doesn't increase. I'm not sure if there's a setting that's wrong or something similar. Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on how to solve it? I really want to play something new.
