How To Cope With Stories On Nairaland! by Mistyice(f): 6:01pm On Jun 06, 2017 |
I know we are supposed to appreciate the fact that writers give us their stories for free and we shouldn't complain when there is a glitch somewhere,but some writers also forget that when they decide to start a story they saddle themselves with a responsibility that no one forced them to take in the first place. So they end up frustrating themselves and others for free. For those of us that have been in this situation countless times,here's how to cope: 1. Follow many stories simultaneously- if you are a worker and you like to unwind at the end of the day with reading,this could be a helpful tip. That way if A doesn't update then B,C or D will so you still get to read something delightful at the end of the day. And follow only stories that are interesting to you so that you are not reading one and your mind is on another. 2. Make up your mind- What if this one doesn't complete his/her story? Don't push this question away,face it before you even start reading. |

-In fact tell yourself: this story might not make it to the end O,believe me it helps. 3. Read with unseriousness- LOL some nairalanders have suggested this as well. Don't attach yourself too much to a story so if the main thing happens you can genuinely feel sorry for the writer and not think about yourself cos deep down we know that they all want to finish their story. 4.Continue the story yourself- Tor if a story eventually crashes you can choose to finish it in your mind and even arrange it how you like if you were so attached to it. I know this is a last resort, but who knows?, it could help. 1 Like |

I feel your pain. If such writers arent dead, they can continue the story anytime anyway but the fans will be really starved for updates in those trying moments Some stories just have to be like that because the writer/s just couldnt help it. Stories dont end actually..... That interlude, that gap is still telling something |

@op: Lord knows I was gonna do a thread like this, but it ain't bad you beat me to it though. One of 'em writers retorted recently, that I should not have complained since he was doing it FOC. This guy still ain't finished a story he started since 2015/16! They should put their complete works on okadabooks or somewhere, or publish, and stop whinning about how they're doing it free here (I buy some of those that I find riveting enough). They need not start what they wouldn't finish. Don't start it at all, don't leave readers here high and dry! |
