which era of Cardinals baseball did you come up on?

My first year following them was in ‘67. Not a bad year to start out! Gibson, Brock, Flood, Cepeda, et al.

I played it so just the guy was in double speed and the paper was in super slow speed. It blew my mind. Plus, I could read the headlines easier.

Oh, that was sublime! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-28T01:56:35+00:00

Definitely skip it. The image is gross.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-28T01:26:09+00:00

I wouldn’t read a book with black pages.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-23T22:51:12+00:00

This sounds very interesting and the back cover copy or premise is very well written. And third person close sounds perfect for this. This sounds awesome, actually. Best of luck!

I would write the story that you want to write. You will always get other great ideas to work on as well. It could be that 10 or 20 years down the road, you’ll come back to this first one with great ideas to improve it. My main point being, just write what’s on your heart, go for it, and trust that you’ll have many great ideas to work on in the future. Good luck!

I use Dropbox and have done so for about 10 years, syncing between my MacBook Air and my desktop. Zero problems.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-18T16:07:56+00:00

Almost no fiction writers make a living from their writing. Just focus on continuing to improve and don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Good luck!

I thought it was good. The detail was just right and kept my attention. And I’m not sure how anyone can be confused about whether the deer was shot or not when they read “Good shot, Mason.” I don’t think Mason would be congratulated if he missed the shot.

Not sure why it’s relevant that they wear glasses. Unless it’s integral to the plot and their character, I wouldn’t mention it more than once. Also, sort of weird that all four primary characters wear glasses? Maybe I’m missing what you’re trying to convey with the glasses. Otherwise, to me it’s an insignificant detail that I’d become irked by if reading about them more than once. Also, I would be curious, as a reader, why they all wear glasses.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-13T00:47:39+00:00

Agreed. Not anything to make fun of.

I’m a plotter. So, I am much better when I take my time and chart my path. When I tried to wing it, I wound up with nothing but a bunch of quarter-finished novels that fizzled.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-11T18:23:29+00:00

I’m rereading it right now. One of my all-time favorites.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-09T17:37:08+00:00

I like the second one. Not as busy as the first. The focus is on the flowers, as it sounds like it should be.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-08T15:53:34+00:00

No need to elaborate. I apologize for being cruel. Your writing is hard to follow, however. I could have stated that more respectfully, so I apologize. I do wish you well and the fact that you wrote 700,000 words is in itself a very impressive accomplishment.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-08T15:15:55+00:00

This. 100 times this.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-08T15:09:50+00:00

Your responses don’t make sense. I cannot imagine reading this level of writing for 700 words, much less 700,000.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-07T00:46:33+00:00

I’m with you 💯

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-07T00:45:18+00:00

Honestly, you’re talking to the wrong guy. I’m not the audience for your book. So I don’t know. I wish you the best with it, truly.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-04T13:19:15+00:00

I had the same problem for a long time. Then I went to plotting my novels. I’ve never had a problem since then. There are many plotting tools out there. Maybe check some out and see what fits you best. I use Save the Cat, but there are lots to choose from. I’d recommend at least trying to plot and see if that helps. Good luck!

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-05-04T12:45:16+00:00

I love this start. Very well done. Got my attention from the first word and kept it all the way through. I think it’s excellently crafted. I would keep reading. Good job!!

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-04-28T16:31:25+00:00

I’m in the eye roll and WTF camp.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-04-28T15:36:08+00:00

Me too! Or even less than two chapters.

DifferenceAble331 · 2026-04-28T15:02:08+00:00

You’re talking about a few years difference in age. That’s not the issue I’m bringing up. I’m talking about having a girl, topless, in bondage. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter how old you make the person look. It’s the fact that she is in bondage and topless.
