I know, itās just super annoying and I wish it would show better results a bit faster. Sometimes I feel like Iām talking to a wall whenever I try to promote

Well maybe the babysitting points will lead to whether or not she has a good relationship with the kids and show her responsibility. Like if she does enough stuff to not have enough points her not having a good relationship with that side of the family and not being seen as responsible.
Also why is she babysitting in the first place? Maybe that can affect it. Like if sheās doing so for some sort of reward or like event thatāll happen after because of her experience babysitting, maybe with the low points she will not get that event.

I get that! The best thing you need to have is patience

Thatās what I was thinking of, thanks!
Itās part of her punishment. The MC and LI ruined their friendās wedding reception by letting their rivalry get out of hand, and their parents are making them babysit the MCās cousins as a result (instead of letting them go on vacation for spring break). I like the reward idea!

Some days I wish I hadnāt posted my work online. Lately, I got a bunch of messages from people who read like 0-4 chapters of my novel and are now complaining about me glorifying things that shouldnāt be glorified. I meanā¦ can they please actually read my work before accusing me of such things? I already had to go through the āthe MC is so weakā discussion, Iām tired of this.
Like, I got a message telling me itās wrong that the MC falls in love with a gang leaderā¦ the whole point of the love story is that she doesnāt fall in love with a gang leader but with a human with a backstory and personality. The only two characters who actually believe that illegal actions are okay are the villains in the story. Never, in the whole story, do I try to make it seem like what theyāre doing is okay. Every character criticises the illegal behaviour at some point.

I know Iāve planned to get His Temptress done by the end of 2022 but man, I had to scrap off some chapters that made no sense to the story. I felt that Iāve crammed a lot of ideas into one book and it seems painful. But that doesnāt mean Iāll discontinue the book because Iāve started working on the book since 2019.
Hopefully it will be done by the end of this year or early 2023. I plan to write 40 chapters.

Maybe try making the full story shorter? 40 chapters is super lengthy, that might be why you tend to cram ideas

Yeah I could do, probably around 35 chapters if possible. But weāll see
I have planned to give Thorn her own novel and it will be completely different. Itād be more of a memoir.

A memoir about a fictional character? Interesting!

Yeah although I will have to find ways to make the serial killer part in my story disturbing for readers for His Temptress.

Remember, His Temptress is an erotic thriller. Youāll find out a lot of mysteries. Muahahaha! Iāll need to work on thickening the plot to get readers hooked.

Tehehe yes!
I might probably make the novel around 30 chapters if possible since 40 might be a bit too much for me. Considering the fact that I was cramming in a lot of ideas which might have caused the writerās block and all this burnout.

Yes. Exactly

Yeah, Iāve decided to make sure I stick to my plot and add more mystery to the story so the readers can understand the purpose like who is the serial killer and why they (they will find out the gender of the serial killer once they pick up clues) are after the MC and all this stuff. The serial killing part will start around chapter 20 something ( think).
Canāt wait to start writing without all the unnecessary stress Iāve caused for myself. Perhaps going out and about will help get my energy back into writing which will be back hopefully this week. Going to take my sweet a*se time, getting this done by the end of this year as thatās my endgame.

Well thatās nice, but wouldnāt you wanna foreshadow the mystery in the first half before adding it in the second?
1 Like
Thatās a very good point. Iāll need to add a few clues at the beginning of the chapters so the story can have a logical explanation. Thanks for that!

I got this idea for a new story and Iām ready to start writing. I know exactly what I should write but whenever I have time to write, my head stops me, telling me that Iām not a writer and should do something more useful (which always ends up being watching YouTubeā¦) Why canāt my head accept that I am a writer? I wrote a novel, I should be over this imposter syndrome or whatever this is. I also keep going back to my finished novel, wondering if I should get a proofreader or make a new cover (although I already decided that Iām done with that story). I just want to write this new story (and I feel like Iām ranting way too much)
