《What's This Fiction ? A Very Incomplete Project.》Scheduling
Advertisement
Time has a tendency to flow, with people's consent, or not.
If time was to ever stop, then it wouldn't even be felt, because the passage of time is part of the very definition of the universe. Time paused ? So is everything else. Then it'd just move forward, once again, as if nothing happened. Or maybe it wouldn't and we would all be frozen. I dunno. I'm no expert in time manipulation and it's possible effects on the wide world.
In fact, time has such a tendency to flow, that some say it flies by.
While I don't believe in such hyperboles, it quite is a fact that how much time passes can take me by surprise.
Whether by how little it has passed, or how much.
As such, maybe thinking up of a schedule for when I should write'd be a good idea.
So, let's do just that :
When, exactly, would be an appropriate time for writing ? What would be a good amount per some random time-keeping unit ?
Such good questions !
And my answers to those would be : Whenever. Whatever.
But then, how will I possibly ever write anything of value, importance or relevance to the story ? How will I keep people interested ?
What bothersome questions, mesays !
But still I shall answer, and so, my answer's : However.
But then what was the purpose of all this likeness of planning, this acting of me thinking up some serious answers, this fake pondering, you ask ?
I was just writing whatever. That's what I do most of the time.
I think it's the most precious thing about of creation, too :
You can just create whatever, no one will hold it up to you if you create some abstract piece of work no one can understand, or if you do blatant 4th wall-breaking with no purpose except because you felt like doing it, neither will they if you write a shitty piece of work.

Except if it has errors in grammar, orthography and vocabulary all over the place. That tends to upset a good amount of people. Also politics. And unintentional or intentional antagonization of groups of people (Which includes the previous two things, you'll notice, but eh). That, is more or less all the exceptions.
But even then, these exceptions have exceptions within. Which I'll resume in one word : satire. Satires can bend the rules just fine, they'll get out of it more or less intact. Their goal isn't to be a good work anyway (although it's a bonus if they are). Their goal is to point out issues in other works while making fun of them.
Satire can be a mere comment, or a whole fictional work. Doesn't matter. They'll get out more or less intact.
Oh, people don't like nonsense too much, too, I heard.
It must be because it antagonizes people who don't have the time for shenanigans.
I wonder where's the bar between nonsense and fantasy ?
My best guess is it depends on people, and it's somewhere in between reality (excluded) and absolute chaos (included). Actually, no, reality is included, it is so much nonsensical sometimes too. Or is it absurd ? What's the difference ?
Anyway.
Where are the toilets when you need them ?

This Troll did not, and now he must serve the system and try to prove his race worthy of redemption. Thing is, it's hard to save a race when you can't understand the squiggles that appear in your vision. It's even harder to save a race when you can't tell which thoughts are yours and which thoughts the system put in your head. And what do you do when you never loved Trollkind in the first place? .......................... Update Schedule: Two or more chapters a month. 1500+ words. I am a new writer so bear with me, correct my grammar, and point out things you want to add. I plan on finishing, it may take a while though. The cover isn't mine and isn't exactly the way I like it, I'll be on the lookout for something that fits better. ....... This is a Litrpg story, I kinda regret making it so, but what's done is done. The system is clunky and I forget stuff sometimes, don't hesitate to point out stuff that looks wrong or is wrong. There will be some cultivation aspects and some kingdom building later on.

Orcs elves humans dwarves and hundreds of other species now living on one planet. These are the memoirs of one of them. Written with the help of the AI in his head and a little help from his friends. As a note: I have tons of worldbuilding done (probably way more than needed, as that was why the rewrites took so long. Depending on the reception here I might do more stories in the same universe and/or build a wiki with all my worldbuilding stuff.

Washed-up e-sports champion Chie "Rose Crow" Shibuyama is forced out of retirement when her family is threatened by the all-too-real Empress NPC of The White Imperium. With a fulfilling career and happy family, what more could Chie possibly want? Still, it's human nature to strive towards self-actualization and the devious Empress knows exactly what Chie's innermost drives are. From the Empress's fortress in the glacial mountains of The White Imperium VRMMORPG, she's formulated her machinations and isn't going to give up until she's forced Chie to take up the quest for the Mirror of Truth—even if it means hurting Chie's husband Ken and their son. Ken "Yamabushi Rock" has always been there for Chie. With his conventionally perfect life, a high-paying career and a loving family, he couldn't ask for anything more—except to fulfill his burning desire to create a game as real as the next-generation VRMMORPG The White Imperium with its collapsible VR gaming sphere and full-immersion websuit. After he receives an offer too good to be true, the line between the digital and the real begins to blur. As the Empress's hypnotic gaze draws Chie and Ken deeper into the desolate naraka hell of The White Imperium with its supernatural yokai of Japanese myth, they learn that the human heart is more unbelievably twisted and horrific than the unhuman. Find out if they'll be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice and read Quantum Katana Online: Websuit 0.E.
