Great, thanks for the response!
Definitely makes sense regarding what you said about short stories. I feel the same. I like longer form content. More time to invest the characters, to flesh them out, to really understand them and their world. I rarely read short stories, but I did find that writing them helped me with the actual discipline of writing and finishing a story - have a character with a problem solve the problem in a few pages. A condensed story, basically. Almost like outlining, but with more soul. Hehe. Sticking to writing something was easier for me personally after practicing with the tool of single problem / big solution (after all, one way to reduce stories is to consider them as characters solving problems). Sorry for the unsolicited advice ^_~
Both the technical books are the fantasy book are for fun (although, not always fun - fun in the same way running a marathon is fun ;) ). You can do it! Finishing is the toughest. If that's what's holding you up, one trick that helped me was to start writing small, self contained stories (or blog posts). If you can finish something small, finishing something bigger just takes longer.
Very cool. I'm liking it overall so far. Is there a meta-community, or a community for discussing imzy itself? Things like its vision, its tech stack, its design philosophies, etc
Thanks! Just joined them
Thanks for the reply! I appreciate the recommendations, joined! I have written two technical books and have been working on a fantasy fiction book for the past couple years.
We're currently 5 people in the SF Bay area and have raised funding. Will be releasing our app next month (will save you the pitch).
How about yourself? You seem to be connected to Imzy somehow;)
