but I’m not good at math but I’m good at making things (help pls)
engineering is thankfully the best subject for “fuck around until your math miraculously works” so don’t worry about it too hard
I don’t know
, I meant comic styles specifically
Who’s gonna tell em’
It is good advice tho!
I want to be an engineer but I’m not good at math but I’m good at making things
I know how to make medieval weaponry but have dyscalculia, so I usually feel out what is right. It takes time to find a good strategy and method to replace the numbers
My guy, dubious is an artist
I MEANT COMIC STYLE
like if the style in mind isn’t what you can do, find a good half-way
Uuhhh what are you talking about
nooo im noottt ![]()
Count Dracula vs Vlad the impaler
Loki, I have this one little fanfic that I’ve been writing. It’s been six days since the last chapter update, and all I’ve gotten is around 1.2k words. I don’t know what to do—I’ve made negative progress (that is to say, I have fewer words now than what I started today with), and I don’t know what to do.
little
1.2k words

I’ve known someone who made 4k word updates to a fic every 4-6 days. This is nothing, I assure you. Nothing but my own laziness and ineptitude.
I’ve made negative progress (that is to say, I have fewer words now than what I started today with), and I don’t know what to do.
I’m not one to assume but this doesn’t sound like laziness nor ineptitude moreso demotivation and you not being happy with your work
less does not mean bad
4000 every few days is way too much
This is nothing, I assure you. Nothing but my own laziness and ineptitude.
The goal shouldn’t be a word count, the goal should be the fanfiction being good. If the only thing that made a story good was word count, then fanfics such as Subspace Emissary: World’s Conquest (which I’ve heard is actually pretty good) or the dreaded Loud House: Revamped would be considered the cream of the crop.
Should’ve clarified: it’s 4k words of some of the best writing I’ve ever seen. Better than almost all novels that I’ve read.
This might not sound helpful at all, but different people work at different paces. You actively want to reach the pace of whoever you’re talking about, but if you keep worrying about going to that speed, then your own writing will start to falter. You’d inevitably end up going into the Quantity over Quality mindset, and I think you, me, and the tree that’s about 30 feet away from me know that nobody likes that.
and please don’t go into the pit trap of incessantly comparing yourself to others like I have too because that’s going to ruin you
Cool, but I don’t like working at the pace of a lethargic tree. And I can’t properly feel achieved if I’m this bloody slow. What if some of the readers lose interest? What if it’s just been too long and they forget about it entirely?
i am a lethargic tree dw
