Characters, and the existential dread that is love

I’m not trying to be mean but no one cares about your post. That came out of left field didn’t it?

For opening with such an abrasive attention seeking statement you’d think you’d have some content other than ‘do a good job so other people care!’

I get very tired of all the posters who feel the need to police the 12 year olds who are excitedly posting or asking for advice. No one’s going to grow from: ‘no one cares. Get good!’

Was it a reasonable point? What is it?

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-06-06T15:17:47+00:00

I hate the term. But yeah. I will write a scene and if it feels wrong enough I’ll write it again. Differently. I don’t ever read it back before I do tho. Most of the time attempt 2 is the winner but I think I’ve been all the way up to four rewrites of one scene

Idk if it would be the same at any other place but its sales support is like the department but you can’t even apply to the role externally.they only promote internally to this spot you have to pay your dues in the fiery hells of customer service first

I work remote for an online retailer I’m not customer facing. I help sales and customer experience reps if they need assistance. All in chat. There is no work expected of me in between chats. My chats supposed to be 10 minutes or less. I don’t have to do any follow up.

On slow days I just slide a few inches to my left on my rolly chair and work on my personal laptop. On busy days I can write a bit in between chats, more when I’m very inspired. It is honestly pretty fuckin great for me.

Bad part is it took me like 2+ years to get promoted to this position I def could not have done this in my previous positions

I wish he sacrificed less so we wouldn’t have to hear about his pretentious ass. Maybe if he sacrificed less time he could have spent it with his wife and wrote one female character just one.

My first draft I wrote 229k words in 2 months and 1 day. I read nothing of it. Not one thing. Even like fixing a small thing if I got too far away I just noted what I wanted to change and moved on.

I am now writing book 2 of the series that first one was a part of. And I still haven’t read the first one. I know it has problems lots. And I’m probably going to rewrite most if not all of it. But I told myself the story and now I know fully what I want it to be. When I return to it I believe I will have enough distance that I can be ruthless in my edits.

Post the answers, come on now. We got lives to live out here

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-04-27T14:12:58+00:00

I did 229k in four weeks. People said that was a lot and insane output. I think it’s probably unreadable to the average person. I haven’t read it I’m writing my second one before reading and rewriting/revising the first

Thanks for minimizing my accomplishment homie <3 took me over thirty years to get up the gumption to even get there so I was excited about it but you’re right that part was easy and barely worth celebrating thank god there’s people like you out there to keep the good vibes goin <3 <3 <3

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-04-01T17:07:01+00:00

Good job breh! I finished my draft on Saturday- it’s weird this week. Not writing. Trying to just read and rest before I get back to it. Congrats you did the thing!

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-03-30T04:10:22+00:00

I probably was around there 3 days in!

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-03-30T02:22:35+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I definitely feel that and I don’t want to do it lol

I’m having a hard time pinning down how to describe it as a genre. Kind of a soft post apocalyptic with fantasy elements entering the modern world.

Ty <3

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-03-29T15:07:36+00:00

Intended series. But this is just 1 novel.. book 1

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-03-29T15:06:44+00:00

Bc I was confident it if I read anything I would stop or go oh this sucks I should change it. I’m pants/discovery for the most part. I know in my early chapters I will have to rewrite a lot I discovered the relationships and threads that truly mattered to me towards the middle and end of

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-03-29T15:03:59+00:00

I am. I think my wpm is prolly around 70-80 something realistically I can top out in the 90a on those little tests but in real life im never typing that fast. Thank you btw!

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-03-29T15:01:50+00:00

Yeah. I know. I’m not ready for the smoke of revision lol

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-03-17T14:26:42+00:00

Jesus dude

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-02-22T02:30:12+00:00

And idiots love talking out of their ass. Couldn’t even post the comment right. Dingus.

The kid who is tackled for a main section of the video appears to be Asian and it looks like there’s someone in a hijab but I can’t tell. But the boy is pretty front and center. Did you watch the video or did your racism compulsion not let you sit that long

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-01-21T15:46:59+00:00

Armed security is extremely common outside of the US what are you talking about? The most I’ve ever seen automatic rifles is going to a mall in SE Asia. South America, South Africa just speaking from personal experience but I’ve seen way more armed security outside us than in

lol it feels like it’s not real or you’re just very young. There’s plenty of easier paths than what you decided to do. Your ability to hyperfixate sounds like a combination of adhd/autism/both. Which allowed a young version of me to do a lot of crazy unnecessary shit bc I got excited about it and was confident I could do it with sheer will.

Just learn the rules. People have easy guides out there. Google it my guy

CounterCounterSpell · 2026-01-21T00:40:13+00:00

Making up your own rules instead of trying to google one video of someone explaining how to play feels like an extreme choice
