yv336k | writing_train | 0.92 | How to accept that not everyone will love your work? Hello, sorry if that question sounds rather juvenile or if it's not in the right place, but allow me to explain. I guess I have already accepted that not everyone will love my upcoming novel, which is an NA/Fantasy piece with a lot of darker aspects. Not everyone loves fantasy, of course! And not everyone loves explicit violence, which is completely understandable. But, there's still a pit in stomach when I think of it going live and that, eventually, it will get mediocre or 'meh' reviews, from people who actually enjoy the genre. I know what most will say - the writing world is hugely subjective, it's impossible to cater to everyone. And to that I say, you are correct! But, when I look at other pieces of work somewhat similar to mine, and read the reviews, most of them have outpouring love and are focusing on the good of the work. Yes, there are definitely some two or three star reviews on almost every piece of work I have went through, even work I have personally loved, but I feel my novel is less than a mere month away from being the best it can possibly be, once edits are finished (several years in the making, with a ton of beta readers). So, how does one brace for those eventual 'bad' reviews emotionally? (I am a little sensitive, as you can tell, lol). | iwcfcmn | iwdjdaf | 1,668,444,338 | 1,668,459,942 | 1 | 2 | I write for me not them. | I really don't know, I have the same fear... | 0 | 15,604 | 2 | ||

They're not for you, anyway; they're for readers. Stay away from Goodreads in particular because it's Satan's colon, where reviewers try to out-edgy other reviewers and sharpen their mean girl claws, using gifs and melodrama and more gifs. Good luck out there! Remember, you're not alone. :) | I really don't know, I have the same fear... | 0 | 14,724 | 2 | ||

I read through regular threads shitting on authors like Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, Rothfuss, you name it. Nobody has any of their own work to share mind you but they'll happily be levying some pretty gnarly accusations regarding the quality of the work these authors do.

All you can do buddy, I sympathize. | Your book is not FOR everyone—it’s for you, and for people like you, who want to read what you want to write. There will be people who just don’t pick up what you’re putting down, and that’s fine, because it’s not for them. There are other books and other writers out there for them. That doesn’t necessarily make one book or writer better or worse than another—different people just want and need different things from a book.

yv336k | writing_train | 0.92 | How to accept that not everyone will love your work? Hello, sorry if that question sounds rather juvenile or if it's not in the right place, but allow me to explain. I guess I have already accepted that not everyone will love my upcoming novel, which is an NA/Fantasy piece with a lot of darker aspects. Not everyone loves fantasy, of course! And not everyone loves explicit violence, which is completely understandable. But, there's still a pit in stomach when I think of it going live and that, eventually, it will get mediocre or 'meh' reviews, from people who actually enjoy the genre. I know what most will say - the writing world is hugely subjective, it's impossible to cater to everyone. And to that I say, you are correct! But, when I look at other pieces of work somewhat similar to mine, and read the reviews, most of them have outpouring love and are focusing on the good of the work.

They're not for you, anyway; they're for readers. Stay away from Goodreads in particular because it's Satan's colon, where reviewers try to out-edgy other reviewers and sharpen their mean girl claws, using gifs and melodrama and more gifs. Good luck out there! Remember, you're not alone. :) | 1 | 41,957 | 2 | ||
z9eaxo | writing_train | 0.95 | Should I release my stories as a web novel series rather than publish them? I'm still in the early stages of writing my stories as of this post. I'm 60k words in and am most likely going to go way past 200k words before I'm done. I'm more than capable of writing something shorter, but that's not what I'm going for. I'm writing a story the likes of a traditional light novel or, in the title, a web novel, so chapters and word counts don't feel that important to me other than the story actually being good. It probably doesn't help that I'm writing stories that are connected to each other in ways that affect the other. I've seen many posts saying publishers don't normally accept manuscripts with more than 100k words in it and am looking for general advice on how to proceed. I'm honestly not concerned about making a profit, I just want to share my stories to many readers and make a name first myself in the community. | iygy7j5 | iygvys9 | 1,669,884,483 | 1,669,882,501 | 5 | 1 | you can do both? Release onto RoyalRoad or wherever, then at appropriate points, bundle up into a book, shove onto Amazon, repeat. It means you can't do Kindle Unlimited, but you can still release normally, plus, if you get enough readers, you can set up a Patreon or similar, and do bonus advance chapters, maybe some votes on future chapters and so forth. You won't be able to trad-publish the book that way, but if it's loads of different interconnected bits, then that might be unlikely to get trad-pubbed anyway. As long as you can get out a chapter or two a week, then you can probably get at least some readers, and webnovel readers tend to be amenable to that format of story. | I’d say try to publish, because at least if that doesn’t work out you can post online. | 1 | 1,982 | 5 | ||

Writing a novel is a different process than writing a movie. It's great if your story plays out cinematically in your head, but it all comes down to how you execute these scenes on paper. | That’s how I always write! Many visualize it in their head as it’s happening. But this can lead to lack of setting or scene descriptions because we see it in our minds but forget that the readers can’t. I’ve been working on trying to better my writing in settings and descriptions. I have plenty dialogue and can write that well! | 1 | 1,063 | 15.8 | ||

Do you guys try to get into a similar mindset when working or plotting your novels? Seeing it as a 'movie'? If not, what kind mindset or metaphors do you use when writing a novel? Is a novel like writing a mini-series for some? Or a season of a Tv Series for others? | iudtk5o | iue8y3u | 1,667,145,723 | 1,667,151,979 | 1 | 3 | deff not- thats how i write. i visualize everything. | I definitely plot like I’m writing a movie and imagine all the scenes playing out in my head. But then when I draft I tend to lean more into the strengths of writing a book in limited third person; sometimes scenes I pictured as a movie that don’t work very well with on the written page and they get altered or cut, or handled slightly differently. But I ultimately enjoy the challenge of trying to write words that are as impactful as the vivid cinematic images in my head. | 0 | 6,256 | 3 | ||

What I mean is, when I'm writing it, I understand I have one 'entry' to write things in. Every part is meant to move things forward to a satisfying conclusion, with perhaps a few hints that could lead into a sequel.

Different strategies lead to dif results - maybe this one is great for the type of novel you want currently but might not be great for a novel you want in the future | It's not wrong.

There's plenty of books that follow the same exact story structure as some noir thriller movie. Plus, when readers visualize your work they will picture it like a movie in their head. | It's not wrong. I can't do that, but if you can, that's not wrong. | 1 | 5,355 | 2 | ||

However, I act out a few of the scenes to put the emphasis on the movement and the dialogue. I do this for any action based scenes as it becomes easier for me to relate to the story and write down it in a greater detail (obviously, I don't do all stunts but those I can replicate, I do). Post of the emotional scenes, I act them out first and then I write them for maximum impact. | It's not wrong. I can't do that, but if you can, that's not wrong. | 1 | 9,704 | 2 | ||
