@Ashes_bloodope <33 ofcccc!!

@Ashes_bloodope THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE AWESOME!

@Ashes_bloodope If I could I would write down every writing tip I ever learned lol 
            
            First and foremost… never delete your work, always save it as something you ‘scrapped’ in case it can give u an idea for later, but overall I think it’s important to keep your drafts just for the sake of keeping them :)) 
            
            Secondly, write *everything* down. Have a whole notes sheet that documents your ideas, that way you have them all down even if you don’t use them all. 
            
            Thirdly… take writing courses! If you can’t take courses, you can use other resources like YouTube. Some videos can teach you more in depth on how to perfect your grammar, know how to format a story, etc etc. I honestly regret not taking more writing classes while I was still in highschool/college!! 
            
            Lastly… Don’t stop writing or reading. The more you write and read, the more you will grow into your own writing style, which will steadily improve over time <333 
            
            Hope that helps!! Tysm and I’m glad u enjoy my writing!! 

@keyuti ofc!! <333
            
            And yes, totally valid to want engagement (it’s a big part of posting on social media in general)! 
            
            However, if you ARE looking for advice, everything about your story should be your preference. No matter what, you want to be able to write your story for YOU, not for others. It’s up to you whether or not you want to write x OC or x reader, because everybody else in the world has a preference, and *someone* will notice and love your work regardless of whether it blows up or not — and, on the other hand, someone won’t. 
            
            I know it’s hard to receive this kind of advice from an author who has a lot of engagement, and I will say a decent amount of my motivation for writing comes from people being interested in reading it! However, most of my motivation has, and will always be, based on what I want to do with my story. I have goals I want to reach, and I designed and continue to write this story with *my* preferences and goals in mind, not others. 
            
            Overall, please don’t get discouraged by low engagement!! It happens. Coast existed for about six months without much traction at the very start. You’d be surprised at what can happen :)) 
            
            If u are looking for more opinions/readers, we have a story suggestion chat in the discord. Some people might be interested in reading if you’d like to plug the link over there? Or if you don’t have discord I can throw it in there for you — either way, lmk!! ❤️

@DrgnGutz Thanks for answering the question!! 
            It's just that i'm writing a ff and I want to write something that readers will enjoy. The book i've read consist of mainly of x reader. But the problem is I want engagement on my story (its my guilty pleasure lmfao) so right now i'm going back and forth which stops me from writing haahah. 
            
            I just realized I ranted a lot... Well have good rest and don't stress too muchh :>
            
            p.s i'm going to leave lots of comments in coast

@keyuti thank u thank u ;-; so glad u enjoy to reread so many times omg <333 
            
            I appreciate the compliment!! I do my best, so I appreciate it. 
            Personally I’ve always enjoyed both x reader and x OC!! Both options can be really well done with the right execution — if I’m looking for a more detailed/complex MC, I tend to find them more often in x OC stories. If I’m looking for something more personable, x readers can be really good at characters who have broad personalities that align with a lot of people, which make them just as fun to read as x OC. But that’s just IMO, and preference is different for everyone :)) 
            
            Tysmmm I hope you have a good day as well!! I’ve finished up the rough draft for next chapter and am focusing on some story building stuff for future chapters, but once that’s all set I’ll be putting the next chapter together ASAP <333

Ooooo that’s exciting!!!! That’s cool with the movies I was just wondering if you were doing them or not (I’ve been re-watching them lol and just thought I’d ask!! Can’t wait for what you have in mind I’m sure I’ll be amazing ❤️

@Pationex Hiya!! 
            
            So glad u enjoyed!! And im glad you think so, its very difficult trying to mediate the power level between normal people and anime logic lol so that means a lot ❤️❤️
            
            As for the movies, unfortunately I will not be doing them, sorry! Although I will say I have an idea in mind for what you’re mentioning, trust ;)) 
            Have a good night/day for yourself as well ❤️

@ DrgnGutz  thank you, I LOVE this so much

OMG YAYAYY <333

OMFG THATS MY RWARD FOR STUDYING :3

@DrgnGutz don’t worry. They still building their relationship.. so it’s normal that their way is still rocky … however I can’t wait for their process :D

@Xo_coco_faith_32 They will certainly get to that point!! That's all I can say, I'm sorry ;) <33

@DrgnGutz thank you for your hard work and passion … truly I love you for that ! <333

@DrgnGutz don’t worry pooks, take your time!!! We’ll be waiting patiently >:3

@DrgnGutz take your time! super hyped for it no matter how long it takes and congrats on 600k! I remember starting this book when it was at only like 100k and I was like this def deserves more reads ✨✨✨
            
            chat we have to bring it to 1m, it’s the best fic I’ve ever read on this app. 

@WhenWillMyLifeBegin0 yess I’m okay!! Just lots going on as always unfortunately :’)) process wise the draft is very close to completion, and editing should start soon! 

No worries :) and it’s totally fine if it takes some time. I’m more than happy to wait for this masterpiece :))

@ChocoholicKOOK it’s unknown right now, I’m sorry :((( 
            
            I will say I’ve def learned from water 7 that there’s such a thing as “too much detail” so I’ll be making an effort to make arcs shorter in the future, since this one has taken soooo long and is like 15+ chapters at this point. 
            
            TBH I also have kind of a lot going on outside of the story, so I apologize if it does take a while. But I hope everyone sticks around because I do plan to finish the story regardless of how long it takes me :)) 

@DrgnGutz YAZZZZZZZZZZ

@Knownazkei already in the drafts ❤️❤️ very excited for moments post timeskip hehe
