The Webnovel Writer's Chatgroup

Sometimes, there are things in life that stops you from doing the things you want to do. There are things that you can change, and things that you can't. More often than not, some difficult choices had to be made in order to make your life a little less stressful.

My rant ends here~ Sorry for the delay guys!

------------------------------------------

Rianolinon: Yes, I am the goddess of daily updates, but not of collections. Nya~ at this rate I feel like Webnovel is just pitying me.

Mishak: lol.

Reinesse: I am the goddess of trash. Now, I'm worse than you

Rianolinon: I mean like, do you know anybody that has been on daily updates 10 times? Cuz I only know myself *blob derpy emoticon*

Mishak: Oh, that's awesome.

Elyon: Aren't you a shameless feline?

ForeverPupa: Why are there so many silent readers in webnovel? *peepo cry emoticon*

Rianolinon: Yes, nya~

Reinesse: How many times do you update daily?

Rianolinon: Once, 500 words. Too lazy to type 1k+ anymore nyeheh.

Reinesse: @ForeverPupa They're all in every single reading apps.

ForeverPupa: @reinesse Ikr, that's sad.

Reinesse: I don't get comments. *blob sad reach emoticon*

Cel_T: People who read are the silent kind.

ForeverPupa: *blob dead emoticon*

Rianolinon: I only read new chapter comments.

Reinesse: Same with me, I'm not silent at all.

ForeverPupa: I upload my story in tapas even though it only has 280ish view right now.

Silent C1own: Sagiri still doing better than me.

Elyon: Tapas?

Rianolinon: I am actually amazed at how I havent even thought about quitting typing my novel yet. LOL.

Mishak: Why should you?

Rianolinon: MishaK because I'm XX. Without a single clue about what job I want.

Mr. McGuffin: Well you only do 500 words.

Rianolinon: I used to do 1k so…

Mr. McGuffin: Mine are averaged around 1.5k.

Mishak: If you enjoy writing.

Rianolinon: I just feel obligated. *thinking emoticon*

Reinesse: How come we're the same age, but I'm such a trash.

ForeverPupa: Whoa, I'm old.

Rianolinon: Rein it's called effort. A for Effort.

Reinesse: I do lack that. It's hard for me to exert effort in anything.

Rianolinon: You should listen to music when you type.

Elyon: xD!

Mr. McGuffin: I only lack motivation, skill, work ethic, readers, and resources. I got everything else.

Elyon: Do you have a drop dead gorgeous hamster by your side? @Mr. McGuffin

Mr. McGuffin: Sadly not.

Elyon: You don't have everything! *looks at him in disdain*

Reinesse: I can't focus while listening to music I'm trying to train my brain to multitask.

Elyon: Oh yeah?

Reinesse: Reading while singing along with the music, but it's haaaaard.

ForeverPupa: I work 9-5 everyday with overtime, but still write my update. I even lack sleep sometimes *cry emoticon*

[A/N: I salute you ForeverPupa.]

Cel_T: I have this one song on loop when I type.

ForeverPupa: My readers aren't many, but i wont leave even 1 reader without a story *pepe cry emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin: True hero @ForeverPupa

Rianolinon: *sparkle emoticon*

ForeverPupa: *whoa emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin: I just bullcrap everything and hope it works.

Cel_T: I have general path for story, but not details lol.

Rianolinon: <--- hasnt done a single outline.

<--- hasnt thought about a single thing for novel.

Reinesse: How did you reach a lot of chapters without an outline?

ForeverPupa: I write whenever I have a break from my work, or when I'm on my way to/back from work.

Reinesse: General path = rough outline = outline.

Cel_T: Dedication.

Mr. McGuffin: When I'm in the middle of typing and i go "Crap i have no idea what I'm talking about."

Cel_T: It's not written out. It's in my head.

Mr. McGuffin: Mine is too.

Reinesse: Idk how to still write when I'm at school. The end of our class is like 4 pm

then curfew for dorm is like 7pm, so if there's practice, three hours practice. Then we'll pass our gadgets by 9 pm. I only have two hours enough for one chapter, but i also have a job so basically goodbye novel. Speaking of job, I've lazed too much.

Rianolinon: Dorm? Wot? U get dorms in high school?

Reinesse: Yep.

Rianolinon: We don't.

Reinesse: Because it's like a regional school, and my actual home is like far away.

Mr. McGuffin: We lucky to have a classroom at my school. Damn hurricane.

Rianolinon: I wake up at 5, go to bus at 6:45. First class starts at 7:30, school ends 2:30. Get home at 3 sleep at like…2:00 am.

Reinesse: Monday, 7:15 is the flag ceremony. One time i only finished doing my stuff by 7:14, but i still haven't wore my socks or buttoned my uniform, so i literally ran towards the flag ceremony while buttoning my blouse.

[A/N: Pfft!]

Rianolinon: Rein, wat about the males?

Reinesse: Then when i reached the court, it was the only time I wore my sock.

Rianolinon: Rein, this isn't anime.

Reinesse: I have sando underneath.

Rianolinon: This isn't anime rein. You don't wear your socks at court, you wear them before u go.

Reinesse: I did. *blob derp emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin: What the heck?

Reinesse: I read a lot but my reading speed is still 10 words per second.

Rianolinon: ...… You read 600wpm? Wtf? Are u even human?

[A/N: She's not human, she's Reinesse.]

Reinesse: It's normal according to google for readers to gain such speed after a period of time.

Rianolinon: Oh, really I don't even know.

Mr. McGuffin: I do not know my words per min.

Reinesse: @Rianolinon what I did is simple. I read some long chapter of what I'm reading in XYZ-World, timer then copy paste to word.

Rianolinon: I see.

Reinesse: Then divide. *sparkle emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin showed a link to calculate reading speed.

Mr. McGuffin: I'm a good reader according to this. I read about 325 wpm and had an 82% comprehension.

Reinesse: I hate those type of test they make my speed lower. *blob sad reach emoticon*

Mr. McGuffin: hehe. Did you try it?

Reinesse: The last time i tried 500 wpm 100% comprehension. Lemme try again.

Mr. McGuffin: Okay.

Reinesse: Not exactly 500, but around it.

Murakami: I read around 400 got 82% comprehension.

Mr. McGuffin: I was not speed reading though. I could probably get faster, but if the questions are similar then It will mess up the comprehension.

Elyon: I'm a slow reader, but I make up for it due to my Sex Appeal. *blob whoa emoticon*

Author's Thoughts

Once again, sorry for the̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ late update of WWCG. Some IRL stuff happened that drained me both physically, and mentally. Hopefully, this week would be̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶e̶s̶s̶f̶u̶l̶ a better one, so I can stick to my update schedule.

Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.comfor visiting.

I would also like to take this opportunity to give praise to the authors like ForeverPupa. They are the authors who do their best to update their chapters even though they're busy with IRL things like work, studies, etc.

I would also like to encourage young writers like Ria̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶R̶e̶i̶n̶e̶s̶s̶e̶ to be adventurous, and write stories that will help them hone their writing skills. Some of you might ask the question "is it difficult to write a good story?"

The answer to this question may vary depending on who you will ask. If you were to ask me this question a few months ago, my answer would be, "Yes, it's difficult to write a good story."

However, the current me would give you a different answer. Honestly, It's not difficult to write a good story. The difficult part is whether you can actually write it, and persist till the end.

There are many great stories here in Webnovels, but some of them went to hiatus, and some were dropped. Their authors stopped writing these stories for reasons only known to them. These stories in turn just rot in a corner of the web and was never heard of again.

For me, this is the saddest part of writing a story. So, writing a good story is not actually difficult. The hard part is finishing a book. Of course, the story may not be perfect, some people may call it trash, and some may call it the work of an amateur writer.

Reality is harsh and these words can be hurtful especially for new authors. But, I believe, that those authors who managed to finish their stories and persisted till the end are stronger compared to the rest.

My journey is still beginning and the finish line is still far from sight. I hope, and pray, that I will be able to finish the stories that I had started. Not only for the sake of my readers, but also for my sake as a writer.

There was a quote from Stephen King that says, "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."

I beg to disagree, my road to hell is paved with tense shifts.

Have a good day everyone!
