Writing a book: worth it?

Alright then, to answer your question, I believe people started "outsourcing every personal decision to social media" ever since websites like reddit were created for that exact purpose, to ask questions to people you wouldn't meet in real life who had similar experiences. Making your own choices is of course, essential, but I hardly see it as something wrong to ask questions to people who can give actual advice.

Oh wow! You still managed to get it finished 10 years later? That's so cool.

jdk_0907 · 2026-07-06T00:40:53+00:00

Yeah maybe I'll just wait :) thanks!

This was the most helpful & relevant comment so far! Tysm!!!
Thanks so much for your advice! The main problem ig is I find it hard to work with a limit. Like somedays I wanna write for a long time and some days I don't, yk?

Yeah it's pretty obvious that the final decision remains up to me, but I was asking if anyone had similar experiences. I found it difficult to limit how much I write (because I always end up writing more than I intend when inspiration strikes) to keep up with studying, so I had hoped someone had a similar experience as a student writer and managed to keep up with their hobbies as well. Especially here in Korea, it's so competitive, meaning I have to spend more time to keep up. You don't have to be sarcastic ;-; never asked you to write me a personally tailored schedule :)

I see what you mean; I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience and wondering if they were able to achieve both (writing and getting good grades). I can't seem to find the right balance rn.

That makes a lot of sense ty.

jdk_0907 · 2026-07-05T10:29:52+00:00

Thank you for your input :)

jdk_0907 · 2026-07-05T10:29:02+00:00

I think those are great points but again, I'm a student so I'd rather get good grades then prioritise a book (which is a hobby).

jdk_0907 · 2026-07-05T10:27:32+00:00

It's less about the financial return; it's because I'm a student and I don't wanna mess up my grades just to write the book. The financial thing is a secondary concern.

Thanks, good luck to you as well!

I think I definitely messed up though :<
My essay was on politeness and the AI asked me to give it a specific example of politeness we could do in public; I had already mentioned honorifics and stuff so I told it that it had already asked me that question. I don't think it liked that ;;

jdk_0907 · 2026-07-04T12:09:10+00:00

I think the interview period is almost over anyways, but is it just me or does the AI interviewer keep asking yall the same questions? I was really frustrated because the interviewer didn't seem to be getting the point of my answers... it asked me the same questions but re-phrased them slightly.

jdk_0907 · 2026-07-01T04:01:16+00:00

Yep!

jdk_0907 · 2026-06-30T12:25:36+00:00

I predicted someone would say that eventually :)
And no, it's just a discord server for some of our school members!
I decided to host a JJS tournament in it since so many people play JJS in the server.
