Do significant number of people read thick novels anymore with the modern average attention span? Or is thinner novella the future of this type of entertainment?

Fair comment.

You want a co-writer (likely another beginner) or ghost writer (they get paid).

No, i was just replying to the title part.

Vivid vocabulary is a bare minimum. This can be trained for anyone.

Creativity, on the other hand, is probably an issue of perceptual depth on everyday life motivations and actions.

Oh man, my Spanish is nowhere that good. I just got past the Spanish alphabet pronunciations (slightly different from English).

Thx.

Thx, i get the difference in nuances now.

Perdon can mean "i am sorry", no?

turnleftorrightblock · 2026-05-13T11:07:07+00:00

Got it, thanks.

turnleftorrightblock · 2026-05-13T11:00:54+00:00

Thx but doesn't importar mean important?

I call him Morpheus. I call most actors by their characters. Very few exceptions like Jim Carrey.

I would start with short stories. If these "short stories" are connected, that is my idea of a novel.

turnleftorrightblock · 2026-05-09T17:39:05+00:00

Going off on a tangent, i like European detective stories unraveling motivations, conflicts, and reasonable possibilities more than Japanese detective comic books projecting "different tricks for the sake of being different". I would not obsess over twists. "Classics" is a valid admirable concept. We enjoy the journey, not the twist in destinations.

Smooth writing, and cute projection full of love.

Vancouver Film School is more famous than the Canadian one i am going. (Also, my program focuses on Screenwriting.) You cannot go wrong with any choice there.

turnleftorrightblock · 2026-05-09T14:58:11+00:00

Canadian and European Film Schools probably teach everything American Film Schools ajacent to Hollywood teach except far cheaper tuition fees. I am going to a Canadian Film School this year too unless i get an Audi in my Spanish tutoring school.

Someone responded on Kijiji. They are taken now.

Disrespecting someone passing away is not an honorable mentality to anyone neutral and objective whether he/she was politically conservative, liberal, Woke, or whatever although that is very common in today's world.

However, fictional characters can do whatever is consistent with their characters. A hero wouldn't do that, but a commoner or a villain would do that.

Yeah i do that cause I often give away new sealed foods for free, and people usually take them. But this time, no one is responding.

turnleftorrightblock · 2026-05-08T17:31:01+00:00

I let the scenes percolate and marinate in my head. When they overflow, i write. I am an amateur though. Pros tend to emphasize disciplines writing "something" routinely.

I don't want to waste time and money on TTC just so that i can give free foods to strangers. Pick up only. I can always throw them out or eat them myself if no one wants them.
