It isssss
The best way to beat it is to occupy yourself with other things and stuff related to your book like map drawing or character role play to get new ideas.Don't dwell to much or worry- sometimes we need a break and time.
Hopefully, it'll go quickly

I have done co-authorship with my sister and some of my friends what I would say is to try to find common ground with each other and tell each if you have any ideas or suggest things that would and wouldn't work

me and Ruqayyah are trying a co-writing a novel but we haven’t done much yet, it’s slow going. we started by coming up with a basic plot and few scene ideas and developing characters together, then started collecting ideas and scenes and stuff separately and now we’re gonna add it together. we’ll see how that goes but it’s worked so far.my and my brother have also co-written together and it usually ends up being how you described it with me writing most of it and him coming up with ideas with me, then he says he wants to write a scene and then never does it and complains that I’m doing everything. usually we take a break at that point and come back to it once we’re both ready to go again.
oh! me and Kaya have a shared document on google docs where we can dump our ideas and edit scenes together. then we also have our separate documents (that are shared too but only the owner writes in it, the other comments and suggests edits) and that works really well. if you argue in person that might be a good idea to see it on paper and share without actually being face to face and able to get at each other.

Hi! Interesting!
Which version of the Bible, may I ask
I was watching a show where the characters are not called by their names but by their ratings, and they all work on a social media site. Is this where we are at? How powerful must one feel who can take down that good rating even if they have to lie? Very powerful? Their boss was constantly threatening to lower their ratings if they did not behave. Now, if you dare to stand up for yourself, then they will strike back with their posse, who is ready to enforce the kill with even lower ratings. They live for emotional poisoning because it makes them feel powerful for that day.This is GoodReads that allows this to happen for the sole purpose of deflating a rating.Just this Monday, social reading site Goodreads released a statement announcing their dedication to ensuring that the book reviews left by members of the site follow their guidelines by being relevant to the book, not harassing readers or authors, and not attempting to deflate or inflate the rating of a book unfairly.
They list a function they implemented earlier this year that tries to circumvent “review bombing,” which is essentially when people leave negative reviews for a book with the intent to drop its rating. This is done without actually having read the book. To do this, Goodreads said it would temporarily limit ratings being submitted for books during times when activity for that book is unusually high.
“Goodreads has an obligation to defend the freedom to read and prevent practices on its platform that detract from reasoned literary discourse and pave the way for books to be disappeared before their authors and ideas even get a hearing.”
Suzanne Nossel , CEO of PEN America
Nonprofit literary organization PEN America applauded the decision, with CEO Suzanne Nossel saying, “We are gratified that Goodreads has taken steps to implement one of the crucial recommendations in our recent Booklash report, aimed at preventing reviewers who may not even have read a book from waging online campaigns to sink it. As a prominent platform for book discovery, Goodreads has an obligation to defend the freedom to read and prevent practices on its platform that detract from reasoned literary discourse and pave the way for books to be disappeared before their authors and ideas even get a hearing.”
In the announcement, Goodreads reported that its users posted 26 million book reviews and 300 million ratings to the site within the last 12 months — its impact on the book world can not be overstated.
Finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WowI have been seing a lot of hate reviews when people have not read the book
