Do you have any unexplained fear?
I do I am scared of bunnies. Idk why they freak me out, it's just something about them that sends a shiver down my spine. And I never really knew until recently because my mom decided to get a bunny and I can't even be close to it because it SCARES ME. It's not a phobia though because I don't get all sweaty and anxious, the bunny just makes me feel feel uncomfortable and uneasy when I'm in the same room as him. 🙁 I have no idea what bunnies ever did to me to make me feel scared of them in any way and I don't even know how to overcome this fear in the first place. I did try to pet it but then it moved and I jumped away 😭 WHY AM I SCARED OF A LITTLE BUNNY 😭😭😭😭

Might Quit?
I don't know, Neobook just isn't the same and it's kind of boring since I rarely get notifications and messages.

Here’s Number 1 of my new series, Writing Prompts. Write a scene of two characters reuniting after being apart for a long time. What happens between them? What do they feel? What do they think? Use this as a writing exercise or include it in your story. Your character limit is 1500 words. Also I would love to read your works so you can also tag me in your scene ;»

Personal update
Hey, apologies for being a little inactive, university is driving me up the wall. My group work assignment is due in 10 days and my group mates are still doing fuck all and my teachers won’t reply to emails due to the strikes. One of my teachers has known about my issues since March and he told me he’d do something about it but hasn’t done so. It’s gonna be interesting

Hangman pt. 2
Alrighty guys! It’s that time of the week! Time to guess what my real name is!!! Ahhhhhh!!! The same rules apply for round two, you may only two letters (or 2 names) on this post, and the places for those letters will be shown on Monday, after the guessing has ended! Now I’m trusting you guys to not cheat and look what names other people have guessed because a shoutout is riding on who can guess what my real name is, but I do know that a few of you guys do have guesses for my first name and anybody who gets it right will also get a shoutout (if you’d like). Good luck! 💗

Winter collab [Open Entry]
Hi, so I never done something like this before, but I would really love to bring the comunity a bit closer togheter. So I was thinking of hosting a collaberation, that everyone can join. This collab may be diffrent then lot’s of other collaberations since all entries are stand alone entries. That means on the End we will have a hopefully huge collection of diffrent poems and/or stories about Winter. They will be posted on my Account but you can freely post yours once the complete collab is published. So here is some info : - The theme will be ”the joy of Winter” you have full creativ control of how you want to make it (poem, short story etc.) It can be christmas themed but it doesn’t have to be. - All entries must be turned in in my DM’s (you can post your part once the collab is over) - deadline is 20th December (a month from now) -all Entries will be posted in a collection (a book) each chapter is assigned to an author (properly creditet) - NO AI generated poems!! Ai is strongly prohibited! I will know! incase you have any questions you can always ask me, I am often online.

I FINISHED READING MY BOOK!!!!
After over 8 weeks of reading, I’ve finally finished proofreading my 755 page first draft!!!! That is approximately 175k words and 4 pounds of printer paper! And now I’m moving onto re-outlining my book so I can begin writing draft 2. I have so many ideas and so many things that I want to change and improve that instead of making hundreds of revisions I’ve decided to completely redraft my book, hopefully starting by the second week of June (so I have time to extensively outline my new and improved plot lines and finish up the school year)! I’m so excited to take you guys along the ride of writing my first ever second draft of anything and I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your day!! 💗

Do you all have any favorite psychological, thriller, or horror manhwa, anime, movies, or books— anything really, even your own original story (just not TV series, since I lack the patience for those, but anime series are fine)?

I have passion but zero talent
No swears in this paragraph! :) Ik i usually say a lot of swears but I wanna better myself. I love writing, I love reading But I am just so bad at it. I’ve read stories I wrote in middle school, I stumbled upon them on our old family laptop. Guess what? I STILL WRITE EXACTLY THE SAME? HOW’S THAT POSSIBLE??? And the same thing goes with art, I am just not improving and it’s frustrating me so much. The only thing I did that, where I improved was editing amv’s or edits, during corona I’d just spend sometimes up to six hours in alight motion editing clips making transitions etc. I EVEN CAME UP WITH MY OWN! and I had a Instagram profile where I did tutorials, this was such a different era. But then around 2022 I just stopped i got so burned out. I tried again a month ago for old times sake. And to no one’s surprise I can’t even do that anymore. I understand that the point of doing something isn’t to be the best at it but rather to have fun. However I just want to succeed at something too, I am living in the shadows of my non-existent potential and it’s trying me... I just want to be good at something too...

Anyone interested in a newsletter??
So one of my friends gave me the awesome idea of starting a newsletter so you guys can be updated on the happenings of my book! I know some of you are interested in it, but seeing as I won’t be publishing until 2027 a newsletter can remind you guys of it, even if you aren’t active on Neobook! Now if this is happening, it definitely won’t happen until this summer but i wanted to put the idea out here now to see what you guys think. The newsletter would be completely free—the only info I would need for it would be your email! I would share updates on where I am in terms of writing the book, sneak peaks at it, teasers about other books I want to write in the future, and maybe even stuff about my favorite books or authors! I could even share writing tips if anyone is interested! Anyway let me know if you would like to se this happen! Love you all! Have a great day!

Why do people use AI for anything?
I can’t for the life of me understand people who use AI to write for them on the base reason of it’s easier? Like really? What’s the point of that? I would never use AI to help me write because it won’t be able to capture what I see in my mind’s eye, how I envision the threads of a story to go, or even how to properly characterise the characters. Even if AI is capable of replicating another author’s style— which is just sickening and blatant theft— it won’t be mine. It won’t feel authentic, and it won’t be what I wanted at all. The beauty of creating, whether it’s making art or writing, is the fact it is something that is solely mine. It’s my blood, sweat and tears that went into every word on the page; a piece of me in every character, be it a trait, a quirk or a flaw; heck even the flaws are what make it mine. The settings, and the themes, and the plot lines, all of it, I thought of and put into this story. Not because some generative AI scanned the internet and amalgamated ‘the perfect story’ but because I myself chose— whether subconsciously or intentionally— to include those aspects. It’s mine, in every sentence structure to every turn of phrase, and every line of dialogue, and every description— and it’s not something I could download overnight. No, it took me months upon years of craft, research, editing and drafting, and it is still a work in progress, and it won’t ever be perfect but it will always be mine. Every part of it, every step of it, it takes more than a well-worded prompt, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sci-fi book recs??
Anyone have any good sci-fi book recommendations? I’m starting to brainstorm a sci-fi series and need to do some book “research” lol These recommendations can be on Neobook or just regular books you can get in a bookstore (Also if it’s space sci-fi that would be even better)

I need your opinion
So I was thinking of posting a new book (not a story book) on both Wattpad and Neobook but I'm not sure if it's gonna work. The book is going to be a quotes book like a book that consists of lines from books, movies and lectures that I seriously can't seem to forget. My actual purpose is to find people who have read these books and to persuade those who haven't. I really look forward to meeting fan bases where I can discuss theories or even make up thrilling scenarios. And I would love to receive quotes from books that you guys have read and it would be pleasure include them too. (Yes I'll be reading them as much as I can) But please make sure to tell me that if it's a spoiler or not.

Taking a break from editing to show you guys one of the greatest pieces of dialogue to have ever been typed by my fingers
[CONTEXT] she lives in a place where teenage girls are forced into arranged marriages but escaped, and he has sworn off marriage since he was a little boy since he was orphaned (long story), and the FMC is is delusional bc she’s sick (like dying kind of sick) and says this absolute gem of a sentence. My heart literally aches for these two OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHHHHHH Anywho that’s it! You guys get to have a sneak peak of my debut novel (coming to bookstores in idk when) love you all 💗

‼️Announcement‼️
So I have a big big BIG thing coming for you guys, and it’s probably not what you think. I’ve been pretty transparent about the fact that my name (Ann E. McKenzie) is a pen name and that I am a minor. Back when I started on Commaful, I was only 14 years old and super wary of how corruptive being online could be as a young girl. So I created a fake name that made me sound older than I actually was, and I never shared my face, age, real name, or where I lived. But I never realized how great of a community I would be a part of and how many wonderful friends I would meet as Ann. In the first year or so of my writing journey, Ann E. McKenzie was always supposed to be my forever author name, but as I grew up, I learned more about myself and I grew more into who I am today, and ultimately, I came to the decision that what I truly wanted was to be 100% myself in the most passionate part of my life. So I decided that I would be Ann as long as I was still young. The plan back then was to wait till I was 18/or wait until I was about to publish my first book. But I became so much more excited for this time in my life, and I also became guilty about the fact that I was hiding myself behind a fake name. But I prayed and I meditated on it for a long time, and only a few months ago, I became super attached and really, truly, ready to reveal this part of myself to you guys and start promoting my writing online, like I see so many young teenage authors doing. I’m not 18 or even close to publishing my book, but now is the time. After this school year, I will have more time to focus on growing my presence online, and writing won’t have to be on the back burner over my schoolwork anymore. So here I am, right now, telling you guys that I am finally stepping into who I truly am as a writer. Now, I won’t be revealing my forever author name in this post, I’m just coming on here, saying this now to hopefully make the transition easier. Who knows, I might even make it a kind of unscramble the letters game, but it’s my name lol, but more about that later, for now, here’s some more info about this. No. 1: Ann is the only real part about my current pen name, but it’s not my first name; it’s my middle name. I will be keeping Ann in my author name, just adding on my first and last names too ❤️ No. 2: one of the main reasons I’m doing this now is because my debut novel isn’t in the first draft stages anymore! I’m editing it, and the timeline when I publish is growing closer and more final (in 2027 or 2028), and I would like to start being a part of the indie author community on Instagram and start promoting my writing! So, this summer, after school is over, I will be making my official author Instagram and revealing my name! No. 3: Even though I’m sharing my real name, I will not be showing my face online quite yet, as I am under 18 years old, and I would still like to keep that part of my life private while I am still a minor. And No. 4: This change in my name will not affect the relationships I have with people on here. I’m still working out how this will all play out, and I’m fully aware that this will likely be an uncomfortable transition for other people, because I know so many people on here who frequently use my name, which will be changing in a few months. But ultimately, I would like to be addressed by my real name when it is revealed, but I’m willing to do anything to make this transition easier for all of you. Also, I do deeply apologize for the disruption that I’m causing, but I would love to keep being a part of this community while also being 100% true to myself. Okay that was a ton of information, so I think I’m going to leave it at that. If you guys like the idea of making this reveal a game, let me know, and I can talk more about that later on. I love you guys so much, and I hope you all have a wonderful day! 💗 Thank you so much for putting in the time to read what I have to say, it means the world to me! 💕

Write 3 words and I’ll turn them into a poem!
[CLOSED] I’m one away from writing 100 poems. So to make this a bit more special, I want you all to write 3 words, they don’t have to be related to each other and they can be literally anything. It can be simple words like house or pigeon or more complicated like melancholy etc. I’ll use all the comments from this post and turn them into a big poem. My only rule is that I have to use at least one word, however I’ll aim to do all three ofc. So I thank you all in advance. Because if it weren’t for your support I wouldn’t have continued posting 🌸🌸

While our team is working on platform updates, we'll explain how the Boost feature works and what changes are coming. 🚀 Boost is a feature that allows you to present your creativity to a large audience and be among popular authors. Why use it? Boosting is a simple way to increase the reach of your story, poem, or post and find a new audience. How does it work? Your post/profile will be featured in top positions on the main page of the website and in the Neobook app. What's changing? ✅ You will have the option to choose the number of impressions. ✅ Your post/profile will be featured on the main page of the website and in the Neobook app (instead of being placed in a fixed 'Promoted' section).

Uni Vent - part 1
At uni we’re all adults so why can’t we act like it? One of my modules is group work but I’m doing all the work. There’s 3 of us, and the other girl hardly turns up to any of her classes - then why bother paying £9k a year to attend? We have to write a 1000 word essay by Friday this week, then create a video essay for May. It’s just so shit. And I’m Autistic so I struggle with social interaction but I’m trying my best and they won’t cooperate.
