I don’t want to have to count how many lines I’ve commented on or worry about tagging and everything.
I’m just really tired of the typical WP 
that those rules reek of. I guess I’m tired of WP overall. 
I love the potential it has and I’ve met really cool people there but there’s this culture that it created that tends to make everything stressful.
I just want to read stuff and give my feedback on what I’ve read. It’s a very straightforward process if you strip the rules away.
One of mine that got a pass, I suspect my commenter was the judge. They loved the premise but weren’t sure they liked “elder brother, middle brother, and younger brother” being used.
It was overused, point blank. I did a grammatical edit, and checked for continuity error, not polished it to perfection.
When they pointed it out I responded with, basically, this wasn’t final edit, and since I hadn’t worked on repetition yet, that would be fixed for “next round” --and is now edited for the 8K.
I suspect my being aware and them liking the premise is why it made it.
So I can genuinely say that this one, if they were strict, it should have been out.
The King’s Three Sons–I remember grumbling about that one earlier. It’s the first one I’ll get to 20K, as I’m writing the end out now. Ugh.
Dreamland doesn’t require tagging, just minimal number of lines.
Wattpad keeps crashing on me. Anyone else having issues today?
I’ve been seeing that a few people have been experiencing issues with wattpad the past few days including today
Yesterday, Wattpad kept crashing for me around evening GMT time. They didn’t say they were doing maintenance, did they? They usually leave a notification up to say so.
[Replying to both of you btw, that’s why I have the double quote]
I didn’t see anything about maintenance at all tbh
No maintenance notification and the status page says that everything is operational.
Unless they no longer update that thing.
That’s so weird. They always used to warn us about maintenance.
Oh, I’m pretty sure it’s not planned. Maybe they got hit by a mass of bots?
Anyway, I updated the first four chapters with more edits and submitted it for round 2 already so that I wouldn’t forget. Fingers crossed we get through this one.
Alright. I think that’s it for this chapter.
I realized that the chapter I’ve been struggling with would work better when split into two. After I did that split, it became easier to slowly but surely complete this section and get my characters to their next step.
So after I edit these, I’ll have two chapters ready to publish. Yay.
I’m a little concerned about pacing though. I’m past the midpoint of the story. Action should be ramping up a little faster than this.
Unless I misidentified the midpoint. What I think of as midpoint could very well have been the climax of act 1. But that would mean a lot longer story and I don’t think I have enough story here to make it that long.
I guess we’ll find out. I’ll keep going as is for now. Let’s hope this weekend the story progresses.
I have a train journey coming up tomorrow and nothing to read. I could take a look and you don’t even have to read my stuff if it’s not up your alley. Is there anything in particular you would like feedback on?
Thanks a bunch. I’d appreciate a feedback on
I’ll check yours out too.
Well, I just finished the first draft of The King’s Three Sons. OY, editing time.
I get exactly what you mean
Congratulations!!!
This pastry is being forced to write 1k tomorrow, and bring things up to 6k. Then, 2 more k and I can enter the next round. I can at least do that. Come on, Pastry you slowcoach.
Oke, gotchu. I haven’t read your first book, so I’ll be the perfect guinea on whether the second one is standalone enough, haha.
Edit: done and left some comments throughout 
not sure if I touched well enough on what you needed, so feel free to ask me any questions 
, just woke up long enough to get the official count done on this draft, and it’s at 19,012… I’ve got to add in a little over 1K to feel comfortable with it. Lol, not bad. It will be 20K before long.
Do you guys know what you’re supposed to do when people leave question comments on your story?? But questions like “oh what are these” “are these things this” or “who’s that”, the sort of questions your family might ask you when you’re watching a movie but you all started the movie at the same time but you don’t have answers. I got a few comments like that and I normally don’t acknowledge comments bc it is Draining but these ones are questions which makes em seem harder to not respond to. Am I supposed to answer?? All the questions are asking after the sort of stuff you find out as the story goes on, that’s been left intentionally vague. Or am I supposed to do the whole “you’ll have to keep reading to find out!!” Thing? Or is it something else entirely??
