Hey, anyone else feel the earthquake in Melbourne last night?

Why is the reading time thing so messed up, like I have four chapters down all over 1000 words and it says it only takes nearly 10 minutes to read. I read it and put on a timer and it took me half and hour!?!

@Luanamoon7 You're not the only one, I've been reading a story I thought would only take maybe a little over the stamped 2 hours; it's been three flipping days and I've only just gotten through the last of the current chapters!

I’m attempting my first book, I’m kind of excited but also scared. 
          
          Got any tips in writing?

Thank you so much! I am currently having a writers block but have gotten 5 chapters down. I will use your advice and hopefully I’ll be able to write some more! Thank you again

@Luanamoon7 JUST SAW THIS BUT! I am an author and working on my first book that I plan on publishing, my advice to you is if your bored and have writers block, edit what you have but don't sit there for hours and hours editing. If you are doing it on devices, before you edit make copies of the original and always have them. I personally use google docs because with a google account it's basically free, I can keep track of everything easier and I can have multiple copies. Writers block is the hardest thing with writing (in my opinion), ways to overcome it can be changing your surroundings, keeping a drink with you, have something you can use to both keep you focused but at ease. Breaks are also really important, I once took a year and a half long break and I wrote so much better than before.
