Definitely agree that I want to get into the flow which will help.
I don't think I'm cut out to be a FF writer. But it's a nice experience so I'm happy enough to have gone through with it.


90th? 😲 Its is very much!
You can be a writer, a human knows his flaws himself better :) 90 updates in year makes 7-8 updates every month right? I think you should cut short the update number, ie. update twice a month and write more thoughtfully avoiding mistakes which will save your editing time. I did the same when i was a new writer before one year. I used to imagine the scenes at night and sleep then i used to write the details the next night with better imagination which helped me lessen my mistakes

😆 I thought so too. I told you I write a lot. I do the same thing, think of something, imagine it and then write it down. It got to ninety because I did multiple updates. I used to stack them up and then once a month post all the updates I had. Just the way it worked out as I couldn't be regular, so that the readers have enough before the next. Oh, yeah, I know all my flaws. I don't even want to go there.

Anyways thank you for your advice. I'll just see how things work out like I've been doing since the beginning. I don't want to end up with spamming or something of the likes so I guess I can kind of end here. The advice is to write when you can and try to update at least twice a month. So I'll see what I can do and whether I can finish this story this year.

Okay after reading your posts girl i can say just one thing

Arya, Am I right?

I started writing in 2013 to be precise on the 1st february my first FF normally people start with an OS or SS but i directly landed with an FF.
And i finished it guess when?
June 2015
It has kinda 50 chapers if we count all the A,B,C,D parts that i have given for few chapers, for a count of 217000+ words.

You can understand that i was a very lazy writer.
I had took breaks long like months the last one was about 8 months, not completely my fault was under treatment and meds had a bad effect on my head.

Anways I want to say, write the way you feel more cofortable, without stressing yourself, if people likes your story they will not mind waiting a little more. At the start i used to upate it twice in a month, that is a good timing. You can give to updates in a month and make them long.
I'm saying so because there are writer which tend to give like 4 updates in a month but the updates are little, like of two scene only and i hate this type o chapers i preffer read long chapters. With mutiply scenes. Well there was a writer here on IF which was used to give many updates, the writer was and i think it is still very much popular, and i admit that the write had good stories. But the poor soul was used to write him instad of her and sometimes she instead of he.
I stopped reading this writer's stories because my friend said that if i want to lean English than i should stop reading stories written in such a bad English ang being her british i did as she said and changed my writers.
I said all this to say, its better give update which are correct then giving many updates with stupid errors like confusing he and she.
And always give long update if you are planning to give just one or two updates per month people loves to read long chapters when they have to wait a lot for them. I'm talking basing on my personal experience.

Sorry for typos.
Unfortunately English is not my cup off coffee.

@Rishaal you are right baby when you say that when you get in to writing you start making less errors, yeah typos are always there but you realize how to make correct sentences and that is important.
Wow i too image everything before going to sleep and the next day i type it down. Now i have started recording myself because i tend to forgot things, so when a dasu ideas crosses my brain's nerves i recorder it in my phonewa!! I'm startwa 😆


Question:
It is correct put a comma before and??
In Italian we can't, its grammatically incorrect, but i see in English people do it so i was wondering it is correct or not.

Yep Arya and definitely a girl
Yeah I did the same, started with a FF so I could keep it going while I was on IF and because I have this shortish plot but the way I write it is really long. which is weird, but hey I am weird so it's like totally fine. 2 years isn't bad but you are not in my situation. 90 updates and still not done 😆
I hope it was a success.
Nah I understand, you are not lazy, just that life can get in the way of writing. Even published writers take time to write their stories. Rowling took years to finish her 7 books right?
Of course, I do write how I feel comfortable but I was thinking maybe I could improve myself and I am not doing something that other writers are doing which makes them more punctual in updating despite their busy schedules. You know, just garner tips and stuff.
I got the opposite problem. My hindi is terrible. It's kind of embarrassing and I have to apologise for making the wrong grammar agreements and stuff. So I try to stick to English the best I can.
Monthly seems the target but I don't know about many people. I don't know exactly how many people read my work. They're mostly silent I think 😕 I just don't want to keep my regular readers waiting no more. I'm going to work hard for these guys. They've been so awesome to stick with me for so long and I feel bad for making them wait all the time. So trying to not make the same mistakes as I did before. learning from others and improving is what I am looking for.

Yeah basically when we start writing, we have less idea how to take the story forward and then we make mistakes in sentence formation and all. But with time it improves so does the writing power.
Hahaha omg I too do the same thing. And when everyone else is sitting with me i type the dhasu idea in my notes in mobile 😆 Great minds think alike 😆


Okay example:

Rish is mad, Cortana is mad too and Preet is a total nut case. --- this is correct.

Rish is mad, Cortana is mad too, and Preet is a total nut case --- this is WRONG ☢️

^sorry I just took names please dont mind 😳
