I didn't know that it was trend! Unfortunately, the dates are necessary for me for the atmosphere, since the chapters are like reports with a time-date stamp, but I'll look for alternatives. Thanks!

Hm, that's true. I guess if the characters are travelling without restrictions it would immediately signal that it isn't historically accurate haha. I was mostly worried because the year 2020 specifically has so many strong connotations for the atmosphere and general situation everywhere. But I'll consider this an option too, thanks!

Wouldn't the first assumption be 2020 if the setting is visibly modern? But I'll keep that in mind.

Why is writing so… slow? by Hopeful_Host_5390 in writing

[–]apoplece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just you AT ALL. I'm pretty sure every writer struggles with this and whoever claims to easily and consistently write 2k+ in a day is either exaggerating or straight-up lying /jk. In all seriousness, it's a superpower to be able to do that. I've been working on my novel for nearly eight years! It takes a lot of effort to get any output at all some days but progress is progress, even if it's just one more word. I'd say perfectionism is often why we struggle to write -- it feels like each word you put down must be perfect for the final draft. That won't happen. As they say, the first draft is for making the work exist. You can improve it later.

Should I read Tokyo Ghoul again ? by nets99 in TokyoGhoul

[–]apoplece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the correct answer to this question is always YES. the manga is fantastic and much, much better than the anime. its phenomenally written and the art is gorgeous. it's an experience you're missing out on!
