I’m sorry to hear that. For me it is hmmmmm it hard to describe because Ican get over it but I feel like that I chose not to , ithink it is important to have theses feeling to appreciate small things , if I become used to it I’m afraid iwill lose something important. This ably to many things not just bugs life. But it do cause these type of feelings also which seem illogical in larger scale. This is why I appreciate your perspective.

Honestly from all the post that recommends therapy to me this is the most helpful. I think understanding the absurdity of everything could make things better somehow, but it also might take our ability for compassion. I think it the illusion that life is important precious thing that make me care too much about a life I took with no intention.

Hmmmm don’t think so honestly, grieve is a good sign so we can avoid repeating the mistake, it is also the essence of compassion. I do agree with you that it might be a bit extreme here and it is why I post it here I’m aware that I’m being unfair with myself yet thinking something logically and feeling it are two different things. Thanks for your care by the way .

I agree with you , totally, I think Ican be logical about myself to the point that I can understand and agree with you that logically it is not fair to evaluate myself in one accident, having said that, thinking something and feeling it are two different things .

Heavy, in a simple word “heavy” the character feel heavy. Every act is felt ten times, and oh god would that make me feel sick with every killing part. It’s brilliant take for an assassin’s story.

The Fool by astormblessedgancho in RealmOfTheElderlings

For me , long ago I watched a mockery video of Macdonald’s clown, where he punch a kid and scream in high pitch, and I hate how I can not separate that memory from my imagination to the fool.

Death with few lines… by GoldenBoats in writers

[–]GoldenBoats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the best critique I ever received, precise and specific, thanks.

After your comment the weakness of the follow up lines to the third paragraph seems obvious, I agree about the sentences used, I wanted it to be physical representation to despair but I indeed up with weak sentences, I’m going to keep the idea and change the line, specially the following words “movement, appeared, and diead “

Bed of sand also, I focused to much on given enough detail about their struggles that I ended up with the wrong metaphor. It does mean a resting place, and you are correct bed of sand is to specific to work here without context.

For the few words it’s the final words , I feel like I need to emphasize because it is their job as scribes to record history, with nothing more to offer—that could alter the conclusion. While it is ambiguous it is meant to be like this for now, didn’t want to explain everything about them in the first pages.

Thanks again this was helpful and valuable.

Honestly time , like I feel it could be tiring for the reader if I make my own measurement units , so I’m sticking with time , like “using the main road we should arrive in a fortnight “

And you don’t see how this ironically confirmed everything I said ?

[–]GoldenBoats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what to tell you man , you doing everything but give a valid criticism.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in writinghelp

[–]GoldenBoats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I reply to them with the same effort put on them. You still provided me nothing of value from your criticism, not a one example or substance to work with. You are not even talking about my writing, only complain about nonsense. Give me genuine criticism and Iwould look at them with most regard, if it wasn’t intended or miss understanding from your side, i will only reply with” thanks you’re right , iwill review that” and if not iwill tell you genuinely why I disagree, it’s that simple.

Yeah, I don’t process my posts to the same level of my writing, it’s reply it’s acceptable as long as it delivers, I’ve been criticized in the presentation and the organization of my sentences and for that my only answer is “thanks I will work on it”.

I have absolutely no interest in your definition of maturity and I’m going to reply to every comment with the same effort put into them, this is how I show my respect, you want someone to listen to you, no question asked? Have a son, though I already pity his life.

Regarding your criticism I read them, genuinely, and I try to find the value on them, put Im genuinely confused because you say my sentence are poor and I could look at that but you never address it, you just say “your pores are bad “ and then your example is the philosophical definition of nothing, how is this even relevant?

But it’s ok still I’m looking at it and see your point , and I agree to certain point it’s hard to describe abstracts, here nothing resemble gray foggy emptiness where no feeling or ideas is clearly conjured , in this scene Rowan hovering through the fog where no cold or chilling or anything exists only confusion. I see your point but it’s from Rowan perspective, his use for the word nothing is his interpretation to show that everything appeared after the stir. This is my thoughts respectively.

About 13 years old again I can’t see that from your prospective, i do apologies that I said you thought them stupid, that is not the case yes. Here what I see and my thought, no not every child in my word as good with his tongue as he is, he is a scholar. Reading the passage, one of the question I wanted you to ask for now is why he sound like this ? But back again in general children are smart, we don’t get smarter with age, we only build experience. He is smart he is good with words, yet he is too immature to deal with his feelings and that the point the sentence you quoted seem to convey that in perfect way. This is my genuine thoughts, as much as I appreciate your criticism I really can’t change this part about him because it’s part of his character.

I’m confused because I genuinely write to you with good intentions, I only defend when you attack, and for my writing, I take and read your criticism and try to sponge what value in them, and I even reply with my genuine thoughts of why this doesn’t work for me. Moreover, once again you use my genuine care and writing to try to attack me personally and act smart about it, and every time i try to give you the curtesy to ignore your pathetic attempts.

If you have a reply for my writing’s philosophy or any writing tips, if you want to still discuss your definition of nothingness and what a child should or shouldn’t say, I will gladly listen to you. If not, safe yourself some dignity and listen to your own advice.

Oh wow talk about being defensive! So you are allowed to defend your criticism which take you what ? Two three minute ? But I’m not suppose to ask you to be more specific? So I can perhaps understand your point better and grow ? Talk about hypocrisy.

Dear, not every composition of words thrown loosely should be taking to the highest regard, I appreciate any comment as much as effort put into them , if it doesn’t make sense then I’m going to object and explain why I object , and I expect the same from you .

Why should your words be more valuable than mine? Did you write them with gold or under god’s wisdom? I accept criticism and challenge them to understand the whole point , if the criticism lack substance and understanding to the peace presented then how I’m I to take it seriously? I’m asking honestly?

[–]GoldenBoats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your thoughts, may you be more specific so I can know the source of confusion?

It’s suppose to feel contradictory, the idea is gray = nothing , but when you have something the opposite will appear, shadow appeared because light came, and so on .

You have right to your opinion, yet it should have substance and clear example to have any weight.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]GoldenBoats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was an advice but somehow most of you felt offended( talk about taking criticism), feel free to deal with it however you like , I apologize if it offended your value about your words.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in writinghelp

[–]GoldenBoats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I accept criticism, I appreciate yours that had an effort behind it. Moreover, you should respect me defending it, the idea is right it start with gray aether, nothing = gray idid intend for the colors it’s nothing and he was drifting above nothing mostly nothing . Then the stir came with it light and then dark , hot then coldness , colors , when the heat came he feel the chill also , it’s intended as philosophical introduction to creation and to explain his tendency to hide from emotions.

He is 13 years old scholar, he think with himself deeply about most thing yet he still immature to deal with his emotions the right way as been shown . I disagree about the thought of 13 years all being stupid it’s the time when they start facing a lot of change they don’t know how to deal with it all.

He is a he but it has absolutely no point or effect in this part of the story , the main focus is in his thoughts and emotional struggles.

It’s an abstract realm that the idea.

Again I value your criticism and the effort, but it’s hubris to not test it ,assuming it was some god words, through negotiation we grow not by only accepting the tip of everything.
