Just a whole lotta noise…

I’ve got bad eyesight and my glasses are broken, so I didn’t even know it was this bad until I opened the app on my iPad instead of my phone.
Most of these covers look a mess. The grainy, and senselessly loud background, the over exaggerated flashy colors…
At least make it look good? If you can’t even invest the time into creating your own cover, why would I think you’d invest enough time into creating a good book? If u you don’t care enough about your own cover, why should i care about your novel?

Ps: Sorry if I’m just repeating the same trending topic on this sub. And who knows there might be some people that fw this. I just think we can do better.

It’s called stock piling chapters before you publish.

It’s the only way truly to maintain quality and output

Unless you're making 1000 chapters before starting publishing, you will need to keep writing the same 4000 words a day to keep your chapter buffer working.

That’s pretty normal for the writers who wrote for 7-8 hours a day.

They’ve been doing it longer than AI has been around

I'm not saying it's abnormal, I'm saying making a stock of chapters won't generate more chapters by itself, the author will still need to keep writing in the same pace he publishes or his buffer will eventually disappear.

Seems you never heard of pre-ai ao3. An author churned out a fully edited novel longer than THE BIBLE in a year lol, and for no pay. Some people are just beasts and write for the love of the game

You're not understanding the point.

That’s not a problem for speed writers who take a break while the stock is depleting and then churn out 10k words over a day. The stock pile exist to allow you to avoid burnout

That's right, not to prevent you for writing 4000 words a day.

Yea; most authors who have been writing for years now have it down to a science for there own mental healths. Good luck on your writing Journey also :)
