>torn

>Needing 12 weeks to write a novel
Seriously, OP? The one that took me the longest was less than 2 months, about 7 weeks or so, and most of that was editing. Anyways, have at it OP, but having intentions to get rich from your writings is quite shallow and highly increases your chance of failure. When I wrote my first book, it was because I've wanted to write a certain book for literal years. About half a decade or more. I loved writing it so much that I then worked on a sequel before I even started editing that first book so technically that's 1-2 weeks of those supposed 7 weeks I mentioned where I was working on a sequel. Anyways, after that first book I wrote a completely different one, and well I've basically been writing or editing this whole time ever since I started last year.
Most self-published authors don't make $100 in their first year, but I'm poised to make several times that. I believe I have what it takes to become a full-time author, and I think I'll achieve that around 2018-19 at least. I don't need much to live comfortably, in fact if I can make $20,000 a year then I'm laughing. I find writing to be incredibly fun, and so to be getting paid for it is like getting paid for playing videogames or for watching movies which are two things that I also very much enjoy. Even if I never so much as make $10,000 a year from my writings though, I will likely continue to write for years and years and years to come just because I like to do so.
Still, I year that YA sells extremely well, so maybe you'll get lucky and make $1000+ in your first year. If you're expecting to make $100,000+ in your first year though, then you're basically hoping to be the next J K Rowling or that woman who wrote 50 Shades of Gray. You want to strike gold with your first book. Well good luck to you, perhaps you'll get lucky and achieve it, after all there's a lot of aging menopausal baby boomer women out there who'd probably like to be young again for a little while and so read about a young woman experiencing romance and what not. Perhaps you'll tap into that. Your chances of success will be significantly higher however if you write because you love to write rather than write juts to make money. Chances are, you won't make much of any money...
How do I write sex scenes in YA? Fade to black everytime? Metaphors?
>>9385699
Just what I was thinking.
>>9386965
Depends on what you're into. Personally, I rarely fade to black. Usually I get right into it, describe visuals, sensations, thoughts, sounds, perhaps even tastes and smells. I've written over 2000 words so far this morning, though nothing that is particularly sexually charged however. That'll come back eventually.
