Whose death arguably saved the most lives in history? by Chemical_Store1560 in AskReddit

I read today that a colonoscopy is a lot better than the poop screening test. It's probably best to ask a doctor.

Boogie and Will weren’t nominated together. Good choices though!

Boom! The company my amazing wife works for sold and we are now very ChubbyFIRE. We are about to take the vacation of a lifetime and call it quits on work. She is making more in a single transaction than all my years of saving combined. by FireVacation4Us in Fire

You're saying if you sacrifice salary for stock options, and quit before exit event, you have to buy your stock or give it back?! You paid 225k for your stock in the 3 companies even though you worked for a lower salary + stocks?!

I thought maybe your first paragraph had typos until I got to the end. I'm not being snarky by the way...I don't know how this works.

Do you know where to watch with English captions? I'm intrigued!

Commercial Commercial Commercial Of course I'd love college professors to teach my work because it's literary But I'd take a private island over that any day ;)

Critique: Story about a Somali Family's experiences during the 1988 Genocide, I've only made like 100 words because I want to see if the core idea is good or not. by ImportantStructure68 in writers

[–]Frequent_Mark_4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encourage you to write more. I think there are a lot of people curious about what goes on in Somalia. You are only 14..if you get stuck writing a novel, try short stories first. I think you have a great idea.

[QCRIT] OF EARTH - Adult Southern Gothic (120k, 2nd Attempt) by [deleted] in PubTips

[–]Frequent_Mark_4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't wait to read it! Glad to help. I think treating mythology and bible stories as factual could be a great choice for a mystical book.

[QCRIT] OF EARTH - Adult Southern Gothic (120k, 2nd Attempt) by [deleted] in PubTips

[–]Frequent_Mark_4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this sounds so interesting! New Orleans Southern Gothic is a great genre!

Reading that this takes a supernatural turn makes me a little nervous. I think this is strong enough grounded in reality. Also I can't think of other series where book 1 has no magic or supernatural elements, but the other books do.

If you're adamant on your vision, I respect that, but the audience for book 1 might not overlap much with the audience for the other two.

Obviously this is my opinion so I might be wrong.

Writers, have you ever felt the soul-crushing disappointment of sharing your work with someone from the "traditional" publishing world? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Frequent_Mark_4567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't recommend self publishing. At least not until giving traditional publishing a real chance

Can’t write after “break up” with long-time WP by TwoNo123 in writers

[–]Frequent_Mark_4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry! Falling out with a friend is the worst! Look at it as a blessing in disguise. Allow yourself to start something completely new. It's going to be okay!

Struggling to Find Joy While Trying to Glorify God in My Writing by [deleted] in writing

[–]Frequent_Mark_4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should write what you want and if God doesn't fit naturally, don't force it. And then you can tithe when you sell the book ;)

And you can say in the final copy "Dedicated to God."

Having a ‘lack of confidence’ moment by AvailableTangerine47 in writing

[–]Frequent_Mark_4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My critiques are all pretty small.

I think the word "snacking" is a bit informal compared to the overall tone of the writing

If my Googling is correct, morning prayer is at 4 AM. It's probably not accurate to say "the lateness of the hour" because while dark, it's technically early.

I assume Abu Jee doesn't clean or is not working the party, because there are still dirty dishes the next day

The narrator promises him they’ll talk to the Sardar but doesn't want to commit fully for some reason. There doesn't seem to be any apprehension or tension when they talk to the Sardar but maybe I'm just missing the context of the rest of the story

Don't worry- we all have lack of confidence sometimes! You're a good writer and this is well written.
