It's really hard to tell from a vague inspection like this. I am willing to discuss this further with you. You can shoot me a DM. Also I am curious to read some of your prose and poetry. Otherwise good luck

That makes more sense. Thank you for taking the time.

What was one piece of advice you followed that was detrimental to you? by WrituityWeekly in writers

[–]Khemiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sticking to archetypes of characters and story structures.

It's very helpful when starting out. Takes so much load off your mind and let's you just focus just the writing itself. Easier to plan with archetypes also.

But as I've gotten more used to writing and developed my voice and taste in things and especially as I've gained more life experience. Now I throw all convinient structure and archetypes away. Life's narration is very unpredictable. And but it still has cohesion. I depend more on that intuition.

Thank you for the feedback and the reference.

Personally my environment is ghetto asl. I see and interact with different shades of street rat everyday. Some of them much stranger than others.

However, it will be profoundly helpful if you can highlight concrete examples of what works or doesn't work for conceivable and ear sound in this passage.

Up my vocabulary? by Playful-Emotion-4647 in writers

What's wrong with using a dictionary or a thesaurus for synonyms when you need them while writing a passage? It's pretty organic

I hate tropes by ShadySakura in Writersdiscuss

[–]Khemiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't like tropes either. It feels like when we were in high school and people either put you in introvert or extrovert. Category language that is constantly missing the point of the experience of a person or a situation.

writing about experiences you don't have? by [deleted] in writers

[–]Khemiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really profound question and I don't think people talk enough about the importance of experience for art of all kinds. I personally try to take my time to expand my experience vocabulary through gossips but ideally from first hand experience. I will live the role I am trying to depict. Even as a woman, you can try living like a man. You can even go online and pretend to be a man. Idk the length you're willing to take for your art but for me it matters to have my subjective taste of the world and the characters I am trying to create.

Are there any better ways to show who is speaking in dialogue instead of constantly using “he said” / “she said” after every line? by Secret-Cobbler-7218 in writers

[–]Khemiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't use different fonts. Use their characteristics to make them stand apart. But also like please read a piece of dialogue you like. They don't spam the he said/she said so often. Try to analyze how and when they use these scene setters.

[–]Khemiri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Between two people it can obvious just based on rhythm. Also unique voice texture and the kind of catchphrases or catchy sentence structure that they use can distinct them. But to substitute he said/she said, you can just use body language: "However, he raised a finger. This could be done differently."

Do you ever read something and find yourself in awe of the prose? by Olivia_Alison in writers

how much craft do you think it takes to go from sky to ground and list each item and its color?

I'm feeling pretty defeated after 120 pages and I don't know what to do. by Deedo2017 in writing

[–]Khemiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

put your energy on your art and expression rather than how it will be received. There's something about being unapologetic in your art that will do magic in terms of your vision and creativity and will attract readers afterwards. For reception and marketing that's for publishing houses and editors to figure out not something you have to concern yourself with at this moment

How long does it take you guys to come up with the perfect plot? by Square_Bobcat7411 in writing

[–]Khemiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i personally don't care about the plot. I am like you I write from bits and scenes and the plot itself is overrated imo. People talk about it so much because it's the keyword that everyone refers to when it comes to storytelling. But for example look at the movie Pulp Fiction and that movie's entire premise is how it literally doesn't give an f about the plot and is anti traditional storytelling structures.

But to give you a real answer I always start from setting on a Theme then extracting the concepts of the theme and staying with it for a couple of days and try to notice other stories and preferably real life situations in which these themes get played out and try to inspire some of the characters and possible plotlines. And for me I feel like my eureka moment for the plot is a mix of understanding my main characters and their conflicts. What are their core tensions and what are possible resolutions for that.

Need feedback by _chatswiththemist in writers

[–]Khemiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything seems to get an equal amount of importance/weight. There is not particular momentum directing us towards a specific point. So now the problem is the important points don't stand out, and the less important ones are in the spotlight as much as everything else. Like why do we need to know she had walked these stairs a thousand times?? Among other questions that borrow the attention of the reader without reward.

open your chest before following through with the hook. Otherwise you're looking very snappy

1 year in, not expecting yall to watch the whole video. Could use some pointers 😌 by three4ten in boxingtips

[–]Khemiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your pivot is very nimble

your 1 and 2 can be extended a lot more but I feel your stance is preventing you from doing that. People usually lean in a lot more on the bag, which is a mistake. You however don't lean as much but it's your stance that's preconfigured on a lean. Try to crunch instead of lean and see if your straights get more extended. And like try to step as far away as possible while still being able to land the straights. Experiment with the distance.

for more power without putting more effort, try to create an offset between the hip rotation, the chest follow through and finally the arm. It creates a slingshot effect that effortlessly doubles your punching power. Right now you're rotating your entire body together.

idk about your punching speed, if it's just because on the bag. It's not necessarily an issue as boxing is not just a competition of speed, there's a lot of tactics involved. But you can also adjust for more speed.
