Unasked for writing advice:
1. Don't read your reviews if they're going to provoke a reaction & never reply
2. Using AI is not writing its plagiarism
3. 70% of online writing advice is falsifiable nonsense. Writer beware
4. Get an editor
5. Never follow genre trends

Post an album you like to listen to while you write.
Opera is always good for writing. The music is highly emotional but washes over you.

It's important to remember that the genre, sub genre, the time the novel is written, writer's voice and style all affect the "acceptable" length for your book. Fantasy and epic fantasy novels are notorious for being longer than YA books for example. Great books can bend the rules

How long should your novel be? I like this guideline from Writers Digest. It uses ranges and gives a good indication of what's realistic. But always use the requirements of the specific agent or publisher you're querying.

Being a #writer necessitates having thick skin. If you put #writing online you're going to get feedback. Some of it may not be positive. Once you release stuff, it becomes public property that will be consumed and commented on. That's the way it is
Feedback that isn't constructive should be ignored
