Hello and welcome back to another question post!

What book on Loreum are you reading and why did you choose it?

My current read is Ever After High: Another Tale

By BluejaySkie

The reason I chose it is because it looks like the author draws their own art for their story and I think it's really cute!

Writers!

What is some advice you would give your past self about starting an account on Loreum...

And what are some questions you currently have?

Let's chat and help each other out 🖤🖤

What character in your own Loreum book/ a book that you read on Loreum stuck with you and why?

I've currently started writing a story where I have more than one main character... And I already have a favourite 😂😂

I think it's something all of us feel occasionally. I'd like to share a couple tips I gained from experience, as someone who's been writing for a long time. Maybe some of you can find it useful? Feel free to add your ideas and experiences to this post.

1) Identify the source. It's not the same to feel burnout due to the writing process itself than from lack of motivation or external factors. Identifying the cause helps you finding a relief or solution.

1.1) External factors: a bad comment, lack of feedback, lack of support, physical discomfort, personal distress, constant distractions, life's shit happening... And many others. If you wonder why you are feeling that tired and demotivated when you sit down to write, or your body plainly refuses to do so... Do some thinking and check what's going on with your life, how it's making you feel right now. Can you accept it? Can you change it? Can you avoid it? Or just wait until it's over...?

1.2) Internal factors: writing for very long periods of time, getting stuck at a specific part because we're unsure if that's how we want it to go, perfectionism, too high expectations, social media related stress, self-induced pressure regarding deadlines or posting regularly... All related to how your own writing makes you feel. When you're dealing with these, I can assure you some self-love and acknowledgement help a lot. Writing can be as tough a job as any, but since we do it with passion and many feelings involved, we forget it can take its toll on us too.

2) Cut down Social Media. Whatever the cause, shutting down all social media for 24 hours or more always helps. We aren't always aware of how much energy and time it consumes, and when that energy is returned to us, inspiration often comes along after a proper rest.

3) Do some other type of creative activity. Instead of pushing yourself to write more, try something else you enjoy doing. Cooking pastries, drawing, gardening, playing an instrument, building a cat house made of toilet paper... Whatever suits you. Your brain will be reminded that creativity is fun and a way of resting too, and that helps with burnout and with writer's block.

4) Rest. Active resting or passive resting, it's up to you and your needs. But if you're feeling burned out... 99% of the times, you do need some rest. And possibly a small adjustment to your routine, so you can prevent (sometimes) future cases.

That's all I can think for now. I hope you find it helpful. Let's give each other some support ❤️

Helloooo, how is it going?

I know we're all very busy, but tell me what's a small writing/reading goal you have this week!

Mine is to actually keep to a writing schedule for my 3 ongoing stories on Loreum.

Do you stick with one idea, or do you work on multiple stories?

A little Q and A today!

Why did you decide to read/write on the Loreum Stories app?

I'm curious to know!

Today i want to know what your favourite chapter is in a Loreum story, and why it stuck with you!

Was it the first chapter of a romance with multiple choices?

Was it the last chapter in a horror story with spooky music?

Or was it the plot twist in a mystery book?

I want to hear your thoughts!

Writers and readers,

What story feature on Loreum do you enjoy the most?

Do you like chapters with sound? Choices? Aesthetics? Or videos?

Tell me below!

Writers, tell me at what chapter you are posting next on Loreum!

I'm currently working on my next clue for the Lost Boys of Direhaven... And it's going to be a major plot twist 🔥

All I can say is... Well... The boys aren't themselves anymore...

Hi all, if this post doesn't fit the community then I'll happily take it down...

I just have a few questions and thought you guys would have the best insight on this...

I'm currently researching and planning a mythological fantasy novel based on Egyptian gods.

(loosely inspired by the Percy Jackson series)

In my book Egyptian Demigods exist (kids of gods x humans) and they have to balance their complicated souls with Ma'at (cosmic Truth and Order).

I know Egyptian mythology is very different from the myths about the greek gods and their affairs with humans, so I've been thinking about how I could create Egyptian Demigods in a respectful way that doesn't undermine the rich history and mythology of Egypt?

Any tips/advice or am I overthinking?
