An indecent editor might be more appealing?

How does it feel? I’m always torn when I make it to the end of something. I’m thrilled to be done, but never quite ready to let the little story go out into the world all alone…
You guys are making it to the end of things?

6k words let just wow. Home stretch is nearly in sight. I can’t believe it.

One more chapter… one more chapter… words seduce, and you’ll have that million in no time!

Maybe for my HP fanfic
Tarnished Lion =p nearly 30k dragon prints and yet three comments so I assume people enjoy it? I’m pretty sure it’s almost as many words as order of the phoenix
but I swore I’d be a full fledged writer by my birthday

My potter fic (on AO3) stands at 927k – that’s short, right? Not sure the best way to get people to comment/review, otherwise I’d be minting them myself.

12K words left and my wordsmithing is nearing its end
-
Lemme proofread… “12M words left” right?
-
Hahaha.
No, 8k left since I essentially had to rewrite the entire novel almost from the ground up. So find another editor
getting nervous tho. What if everybody hates it? ugh..
How do you fellow writers deal with the nerves?

I feel like there is a whole untapped subgenre of what happens when a zombie apocalypse gets worse.
*Werewolf howls*
or demons escaping hell or vampires going crazy as they try to find the last living humans before they go totally feral.
or even suddenly it goes disaster movie.

@GeorgeGlass Max Brooks*’ short story The Extinction Parade and the comic miniseries adaption pretty much matches that.
*The World War Z guy.
Edit – https://www.amazon.com/Max-Brooks-Extinction-Parade-1/dp/1592912346
“As humans wage their losing fight versus the hoards of the subdead, a frightening realization sets in with the secretive vampire race: our food is dying off. This is the story of the vampire's descent into all-out war with the mindless, hungry hordes of the zombie outbreak as humanity tries to survive them all! “

Suddenly, the thought came to my head… “The Zombie Dating GAME SHOW!” I must be very disturbed.

Writer question
Pen names are confusing af like you have to copyright it?
-
IANAL, however, I think trademark applies to pen names.
-
I never copyrighted my pen name, actually, but no one else has had the urge to use it as far as I know.
-
Google search later, pen names may be trademark-protected, but aren’t copyright-protected. Though, more practically, I think other writers (& lawyers) may gang up on somebody poaching another’s name.
A scorched-earth option, make your writing sufficiently notorious so nobody dares to be associated with it.

A grouping of humans is called a tribe

And a grouping of crows is murder.

Heads up Offering Sorrow
is a dark antagonist’s POVs.

Aw, a more clear-cut evil for the sake of evil? Most of my original fiction “antagonists” could be written as protagonists if you switched POVs – ie, they think they’re protecting society from the evils my typical main characters “represent”.

Sometimes you don’t need a complex motivation other than
I’m going to destroy everything!- Angra Mainyu
Angrboda’s primary motivation is family. She genuinely loves her children Fenrir, Hel and Jormungander and wants them safe on earth is understandable. Wanting to avenge her own murder is too, Conspiring to get humanity to nuke Asgard less so.

True, sometimes it simply takes a divorce to bring out the worst in people. Have fun writing whatever the heck you want to write!

Sequel to Southwestern Wind should be ready.
Offering Sorrow should be ready by Sunday

@BronxWench 4k word count is the smallest amount acceptable for individual chapters for quite a few publishers
So now I gotta

Well, suppose you could torture them with a brick by brick description, along with blueprints, see how long it lasts until they’re throwing stones…
I’ll second @BronxWench with her method, similar to how I do it. Describe the basics, leave the rest to their imagination, unless there’s something important, like a loose brick.

The jewish people believe in debate. A LOT. To the point where there's an old joke that if god himself joined in a debate between priests, that'd only make the vote two to six.
They emphasize things like moses whittling the commandments down to ten (which is also in muslim tradition) and Abraham bargaining to find ten honest men (although some argue that's so that he can see for himself how futile it is). And in a famous story (have to track it doen, sorry), the rabbis actually beat god in a talbot debate and he celebrates his 'childrens' accomplishment.
To them, the relationship with god is a pact, one where he has to fullfill part himself. Theyve succesfully argued terms of worship a number of times, within reason because god needs to get something too. And yes, he asks for worship, but it's closer to a parent wanting to be in your life, if im understanding it righr. Does that make sense?
