    i didn’t see it like that. I’m gonna delete that post, and I’m so sorry for that. Thank you. I understand that deleting it won’t right my wrong, but I’m sincerely sorry.

    Edit for a little note: I went to sleep after posting this, and I haven’t checked Beehaw since. That’s why I left it up for so long. Thank you though. Also, the post was a technical perspective on how the portals work in the game, not anything to do with it’s content or the like. I haven’t paid for the game either. So, I’ve deleted both posts and wanted to thank you for sharing this perspective.








  • That’s a really useful guide tysm, I’ll be sure to refer back to this.

    I personally tend to write YA / Romance kinda things, so self-publishing sounds like a fun thing to do. Ik Wattpad is good for the genres, but I hate the stigma around the website because of all the… questionable content on there. (To be fair my stuff tends to lean into the dramatics a little bit but i reckon it does it well enough, I’m hardly unbiased though.)

    I kinda wish Amazon had something like a more helpful review system, as I do believe that the system that’s currently in-place doesn’t lead to much constructive criticism.

    NOTE: Apologies if this post hasn’t came out the best I am so tired.



  • TLDR; Google Docs, and lately Obsidian

    I’m not going to lie, I just use whatever’s on hand. I’ve written stuff on google docs for a while now, at the moment I’m using a good app called Obsidian (not made for writing but hey, what works works). I’ve been meaning to try Scrivener but 90 dollars (AUD) is a bit much, especially as I don’t think I’m a good enough writer to justify it.

    Pen and paper MURDERS my hand, which is a bit annoying and I’m trying to get over it but like it’s just agony man.




  • I never received this advice, but I feel like it would’ve helped me get into writing well before I actually did. It’s okay not to finish. The 50 google docs you have all show your work, how you’re advancing your skills and expressing yourself more and more in each response. I used to only be able to write a few sentences before quitting, but now I go much longer.

    Also, length doesn’t matter. I used to constantly try to set goals for how much I’d write in far too short a period. This may be useful for some people, but for me I just got distracted, obsessed with reaching my unachievable goal, and it was far less then helpful.
