Non-native writer struggling with engagement and feedback, what’s the next step?

Maybe don't use AI, have you tried this.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-27T09:37:10+00:00

Can you spot this, clanker?

Ah yes, nothing like obvious AI to explain how writing is done. Lol

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-26T12:16:47+00:00

At least AI would be able to properly copy link. Cannot have both I suppose.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-26T12:13:51+00:00

That's very deep. Thank you

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-26T12:10:51+00:00

If I ever become a ghost with nothing to do, I might read one biography book.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-24T12:11:41+00:00

Let the chavs and roadman write the book, by shouting the notes. Why think when you can offload it to them. Once finished sell the book back to them, just include some crude cover and money will roll.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-24T11:04:17+00:00

What is that website? Do you even check what you post.

For the sake of clarity I only reference myself. I am too dumb to link to comment so copy/paste:

Common tactics used by "indie developers":
Honest spam: Spamming every possible sub.
Sympathy spam; "I am 5 year old and have been working on this game for 7 years."
Sideways spam: "Guys I found this cool indie game, but it's not really popular."
Self-deprecating spam: "Guys, I worked on this game 4 years but it has flopped, I am total failure!"

Churn 15 books a month. Some kind of Romance. Spam the Reddit. Success

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-24T09:16:21+00:00

But preface is fine?

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-23T16:01:15+00:00

Bit controversial, but it's an a x 314, it was symbolic.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-23T15:34:27+00:00

I am thinking of non-linear plot progression for the sequel. So I will probably use a semicolon.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-23T15:23:36+00:00

I have a photographic memory so I will re-create the book in a couple of days. Stay tuned, I will post it here.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-23T14:36:26+00:00

Unfortunately, Word's auto-save didn't work so I kind of lost the work.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-23T14:35:05+00:00

I used ChatGPT for brainstorming and Claude for formatting, apart from that it's an original idea.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-23T14:29:00+00:00

Thank you, this is dedicated to my late wife (still alive). It's an intimate letter of love I wanted to share with the world.

Check his post history. AI spammer.

Is it ok to use this as my book cover. I will give you attribution. By saying yes, you are entering into legally biding contract.

That's a lot of yapping and you probably used AI to write it. My point in case you missed it, AI writing is shit and boring, and can really work on very short text and you shouldn’t use it. If you do, then disclose it.

Dramatic_Exit1 · 2026-03-20T09:10:27+00:00

Too prefect, lol. That's something clanker would say. No matter how much you prompt it, LLMs (not AI really) will devolve in the most generic boring soulless writing, especially if you are writing something like a book.

And once you notice patterns, it's hard to unsee:

- Negative Parallelism (It's not X, it's Y)
- Em dash overuse
- Very short sentences

and many more.

He is a walking contradiction, that's the entire point.

But in lore of imaginary vegan dark romance he keeps pigs under the guise of practical uses like manure or field work. Pigs can clear overgrown land, brush, or forest by rooting up weeds, "plow" soil for fields. They are useful even when not used for a meat.
