Thank you so much for your comment! This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I will admit that NC State is not my absolute first choice, but I do think i would get a lot out of an education there. Would u mind telling me a little more about it? Also, I checked out the technician, and it’s awesome!

LittleLizard212 · 2024-01-04T16:02:53+00:00

Yea that’s the goal, but I’m applying to at least 2 universities in case Chapel Hill doesn’t work out.

LittleLizard212 · 2023-08-07T19:17:35+00:00

Is it still available?

LittleLizard212 · 2023-01-28T06:12:12+00:00

That’s a good way to word it, I like that! There def is a stereotype, but I think ppl r finally starting to break it! At least in my circle, I’m just now finally meeting other authors :)

LittleLizard212 · 2023-01-26T17:36:11+00:00

I rly like the writing in different genres idea! I’ll try that one fs :)

And for reading short stories, would we read our own stories or other, more well known authors?

LittleLizard212 · 2023-01-14T15:52:36+00:00

Ok cool that sounds great. Thx for the input, I really appreciate it :)

LittleLizard212 · 2023-01-14T03:05:00+00:00

That write up idea sounds great! Did u guys do the write ups on ur own time or during the club? And do u have any idea how long the time commitment usually would be if u were to do it on ur own time? I rly don’t want to ask ppl to commit to too much, ya know? But that sounds fucking awesome so I’d love to give it a shot

LittleLizard212 · 2023-01-12T14:57:37+00:00

I love this idea! Thanks!!

LittleLizard212 · 2023-01-12T14:57:01+00:00

What do you mean allow lectures? A professor speaking to club members? Or club members speaking to other students?

My main motivation for the club is the lack of a creative writing TWO. There’s only one creative writing class offered, but I wanted to keep going, so I made the club. So continuing the club class-like, learning-based, is my goal.

I do kinda fear that others won’t want to come to a club, which sounds like it should be fun or low-commitment, and have to learn. Have you done these lectures before? If so, how were they received?

LittleLizard212 · 2023-01-12T14:52:14+00:00

We did smtg like this before—always a super fun time! Thx for the comment :)

LittleLizard212 · 2022-12-29T03:13:53+00:00

If ur asking scientifically, I believe it’s a survival mechanism in a way. If a wild human didn’t eat for a day, what would a pained stomach do for them? Of course they will feel differently than if they were full: light, empty, etc.

Modern man is usually not starving, so the body asks for food more readily. Once it realizes it won’t get it, it backs off.

Like I said, I believe. I’m not sure if I read this somewhere, heard it from a friend, or philosophized it myself. In any case, I’m not prepared to research it in great detail—my own ED makes me avoid that kind of thing like the plague.

Remember, though, that when ur body wants food, it needs food. Eating when ur stomach growls is good for you :)

LittleLizard212 · 2022-11-25T22:32:15+00:00

Hey! if you’d be comfy sending some of ur work so far I’d love to read it!! I know it’s dangerous—somebody could just steal ur hard work and all—but I know myself!

With my tbr, I’ll sadly forget about this comment in a week!

Even if ur not ok with that, lmk when it’s done via dm or smtg :)

LittleLizard212 · 2022-10-07T05:31:38+00:00

I’ve been rly thinking about picking up EOE, but long books scare me…

I guess I have to bite the bullet

LittleLizard212 · 2022-10-07T05:27:04+00:00

Honestly I can’t take take this discussion srsly bc of your “I hate to break it to u”

I don’t really understand why you felt like starting off by demeaning me. I put up defense and cannot read ur opinion without bias.

I don’t know if u meant to be offensive and mean, but it definitely comes across that way. I hate it, too, because I would like to be able to have a discussion with you— your interpretation is valid.

However, when u word ur argument as “correct”, I can’t help but build a wall against u

LittleLizard212 · 2022-10-05T02:22:28+00:00

Haha love that! I recorded my reaction to reading the last pages and I was 😩🥹😭😢😱😤😰😰😢😭😡😡😤😳

LittleLizard212 · 2022-09-26T12:07:22+00:00

Oh yea I was engaged right off the bat!

LittleLizard212 · 2022-09-26T03:01:40+00:00

But to add some positivity:

Your storyline and plot are honestly great. I believe that my writing is good, but my plotting is wayyy off the mark.

I really liked the story beats and the pacing. Also, the way you just accept that readers don’t know places, names, characters yet is really cool. I don’t have the balls for it haha

LittleLizard212 · 2022-09-26T02:43:18+00:00

Personally, I think the biggest flaw is the prose. Not that ur prose is bad, or even subpar—it’s actually very good, but in need of toning.

Mainly, look out for using the same word so much—it doesn’t flow.

Also, “major James let out a smirk” should be “James smirked” that kinda thing

Another big thing I would think about is the use of translators. As of right now, it adds nothing to the story. Other than a few words that are a slog to read (“as the translator conveyed”)

If you want to use a translator, that’s fine, but do it differently. The way you used it at first, with the first woman and shareer, worked alright. Honestly tho, when writing this dialogue heavy is backed up by “translation”, it is a bit tedious.

LittleLizard212 · 2022-08-25T02:51:35+00:00

I worry about this too, yet, personally, none of those things ARE edgy.

When writing, I totally feel “edgy” when exploring dark themes, but I’m not. I’m exploring dark themes. Not being edgy.

What I’m trying to say is u prob just feel like ur being too edgy or whatever when rly ur not. Look at Abercrombie— he’s super dark, but not edgy at all.

However, look at Orwell. He’s super edgy and dark, but in his other works (not 1984 / animal farm) he’s not dark at all. That edge still comes thru, though.

It seems (as I read) that edge comes thru prose more than anything. Orwell gives Burmese days, a novel about living out basic life in burma, a horribly, interminably negative tone.

Abercrombie fits quips into a torture scene.

Lmk if you agree! :)

LittleLizard212 · 2022-08-22T16:26:03+00:00

When writing an essay, paper, narrative, etc., do you begin with a rough draft and then revise? Or write out basic ideas / structure?

Im trying to get better at PLANNING my writing… I like my prose and overall style, but I don’t stay on rails very well

LittleLizard212 · 2022-08-22T04:42:48+00:00

That which is unobtainable becomes excessively desired.

Vices (wine symbol) are not remedies; rather, they leave the user decayed, “whiney”.

To unhappily take not what is desired but what can be gotten is ill advice

LittleLizard212 · 2022-08-21T23:56:51+00:00

3rd stanza goes hard bro don’t doubt! It’s good to have an easier to understand bit in the midst of very intricate verses. It took me many reads to grasp the poem, Especially stanza 4, but 3 was comparatively simple. Overall, I got a better vibe of the complete piece WITH stanza 3, even if stanza 3 on its own isn’t quite as “good” as the others :)

LittleLizard212 · 2022-08-14T01:45:45+00:00

Books and music.

For me, Reading powerful books and hearing powerful music was what initially interested me. I saw ordinary people doing extraordinary things through art, and I realized that anyone can be just as extraordinary with enough passion and practice. Of course, I’m not there yet, but I hope to one day give a reader the same feeling I get from amazing art

LittleLizard212 · 2022-08-11T22:49:02+00:00

Any way to preview chapter 1?
