amwaaker decide for yourself if theres actually any comment in there you could genuinely use to improve your writing (no matter how garbage they word it) and then eject the comment into outer space never to be seen again bc ppl should be mature enough to comment constructively. def dont respond

Here, or elsewhere? If it's a personal attack, that's against the TOS. "No flames allowed. Constructive criticism is welcome, but if a review is found to be pointed with insults and personal statements about the author, it will be removed, and the responsible party will be banned..."

How do you better known authors handle scathing hatred sent to you about one of your ? Do you moderate? Respond? Just let it go?

Marie1063 I use my past as a kind of catalyst especially for emotional chapters. It's kind of like therapy. Best way to nudge your brain is to write a scenario of a similar situation and use those feelings to guide you

I have a question for the other writer's out there. How do you write a chapter that draws heavily from personal experience, but your mind seems to have blocked out/shut down all the emotions surrounding it. I know it's going to suck going back there, just need a way to nudge my brain along.

Looking for a fic where Carol drops saving Judith and Daryl brings her back. Help please? Thank you in advance.

@CharlotteAshmore that is definitely the truth! I had this whole thing planned out, and I guess I should have known that 'my' plot wasn't happening when there was no sign of it in sight at the end of chapter one. Now it will be turned into a two chapter story and I'll be done with it.

Thanks Charlotte Ashmore, better now, but still so tired. I average 26 days a month, but this week has been extra hard. Living on Ambien, so now you know the inspiration for sleep deprivation cures in the apocalypse. Lmao.

@untapdtreasure, sometimes our muse can be a fickle b**** but perhaps its our subconscious which wants the story to go in a different direction. a better one. and it gives you an opportunity to write a remix in the other direction if youre so inclined :D

How do any of your authors handle when you had a plot in mind and your story goes in an entirely different direction? I feel like I mislead several people that have read the story, but it refuses to be written the way in which I first intended so I'm trying to let it write itself now.

Sorry, Yokai. We used to run a second chat on Saturdays, to let other folks attend at what should be a more reasonable hour for them, but attendance was poor, so we scrapped it several months ago. :(

"Tethered" is a fantastic story. If you haven't read it, you should. And yes, I'm commenting on a conversation from days ago, like I'm my half-deaf grandmother ten minutes behind every convo.
