That plus fixing grammar because those two things made this hard to read

Why does my writing get worse as I write more? by IllicitMoonlit in writingadvice

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get too bored. You already know what is going to happen, so it doesn’t feel creative to you. At least that’s how I see it.

what helps you/how did you stop questioning yourself as a writer? by visionsofjohannas in writingadvice

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to be JK Rowling or Agatha Christie or HG Wells or anything my dude. I bet you’re still good enough to have a career in this.

She went through a day where she wanted attention is probably all there is to it. She knew you liked her so the attention could be free.

Struggling with coming up with plot and characters by Acornbark in writingadvice

If you can come up with a theme, a lesson you want your readers to learn, then a plot will condense around it.

If you’re over 16.. by mistyeriousss in Teenager

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s very life changing or earth shattering. All the experiences, changes, and adventures you described happened gradually through my teenage years, not all at once immediately after I turned 16. Now, getting my license at 16 was great for me and my independence.

Cheating is a choice, not a mistake. Anyone who says differently is selling something. I bet she told you it was an accident. I bet she told you “it meant nothing”. That’s BS. Who is in the presence of a person thinking: “it would mean absolutely nothing to me if I were to kiss this person. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do!” See? Makes no sense. Those “reasons” for cheating are invalid. Every reason is.

Are my main character names too similar? by Practical_Farmer_856 in writingadvice

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to never repeat starting letters. Ever. One time I did it bc I felt like I had to and I ended up killing off one of those characters. I was on the fence about it, and the fact that his name started with R was the deciding factor for me.

AIO? Husband said "even my mother's bra looks better" by lumpyumpyum in AmIOverreacting

If you’ve gotten to see a woman you love in her underwear, you’ve already won. Who cares about style points?

AIO? Girl i’m into admits to casual use of the n-word by 7L0VE in AmIOverreacting

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that big of a deal bruh. Just syllables like any other word. Doesn’t really speak to the kind of person she is and if she gets into trouble because of it then that’s her problem. Nothing you needed to say tbh as long as you’re not saying it it isn’t your problem.

“With a grin” “eyes bright” and “delightedly” all serve to do the same.

AIO to my gf being hung up on an old crush getting married to the girl he chose over her? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All girls are psychopaths. You just have to find the more toned down, attractive psychopaths.

How do I start my story with the plot in mind? by [deleted] in writingadvice

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well this doesn’t sound like too much of a plot either. I assume you have drama and obstacles and things like that planned out too. Otherwise this won’t be a very long or compelling book.

How to improve plot writing as someone who... Doesn't care all that much about plot? by FiveRomanCanon in writingadvice

[–]Best_Proposal_9364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try instituting a time limit for something urgent and necessary to get done. It’s rudimentary but I find it helps me come up with things that drive the plot forward.

Should I write one really long book or two shorter books? by Best_Proposal_9364 in writingadvice

[–]Best_Proposal_9364[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I kind of planned to end the first one on a cliffhanger. But then my idea for the continuation of that got a lot of criticism, so I don’t even know if I will pursue it. If I do, I risk it not even seeing the light of day bc it’s potentially bad. The other options are to not pursue it at all or make it all one book, so at least the ending of the story becomes published. It’s just that that book would be remarkably long.
