That's what your mom said, seeing you for the first time, champ.

Anyone use Scrivener? I keep hearing about it, but I don't know what the big deal is.

Terrible design imo. FocusWriter is better.

Do you guys use FinalDraft for your screenplays?

It's not an essential for writing but it is helpful. doesn't know what he's talking about as they both have very different functions. FocusWriter is fine for writing simple drafts of short things, the point is that it just gives you a very blank screen with nothing else going on to, well, help you focus.
Scrivener can do something similar to that if you want, but more importantly it lets you arrange scenes and chapters and move your notes for them around very simply by clicking and dragging. You create a folder that is your story then it has as many subfolders or associated text files as you want it to have, each of which has a corkboard thing that you can arrange notes on, or drag them from one to the other. Plus it has all sorts of nifty other functions that you can use if you want; like you can type out a story in plaintext and it'll output it in the sort of format editors want to see (double spacing, the correct symbols indicating italics or bold or whatever you need).

Genre fiction for a small but thirsty market, that's all you need to know to disregard it entirely.
I shall take the money and write something respectable next.

No publisher would care about my work, on account of it not being good. That being said, one novel and novella done and for sale online, one even has a single positive review. In other words, it's going better than I anticipated.

Look out J.K. Rowling, I'm coming for you.

Coming along well, haven't tried sending it to publishers, as mine is a SFF Novel and I live in New Zealand, so chances of a publisher picking it up here are zero to nil, Sci-fi/Fantasy doesn't sell in NZ. Going to self-publish instead.

Man c'mon his post was obvious bait/shitposting/irony

I can't write a cover letter to save my life, so I'm just self-publishing with Amazon and CreateSpace, who make it really fucking easy to get both an e-book and a real life physical copy. Like, all you gotta do is be semi-decent at formatting.

The advertising is where you get stuck.

It's kind of a vanity thing now anyway, because I know I'll never be picked up by one of the big publishing houses, and if I can make $10 on an e-book why not.

Link? I might read it if the premise sounds decent.

I've got three good reviews and one two star one that just says "didn't finish."

achoo

The premise is part of the reason why it's not so good, its a fucking zombie story. Hard to get more cliche than that.

Yeah, I did werewolves. Not much better.

You're also in NZ?

I am, living it large.

There are guides online, user. It's really not that hard. The hard part is selling yourself. You need to make sure the reader is very impressed

What music do you listen to while writing?
