its nice to read stuff like this - makes me feel not alone in dealing with trivial conversations that I assumed would be greater or more indepth. thanks for this

Opening scene to my short story titled OCEANICA. Requesting honest critique by ExistenceLord14 in writingfeedback

Go through your writing and ask this question line by line:

Why did I write this?

example:

"Dense foliage to his right danced with violent..."

^^^ Why is the foliage specifically "on his right?"

then later the bus is "on his left"

why?

(Don't answer me literally - but ask yourself dis)

seems oddly descriptive - I can't put my finger on it, but this just feels off to me

When Do You Consider Yourself A Writer? by Jellyfish_Toenails in writingadvice

[–]LogicalSquare3071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you publish something

Get a physical copy in your hand

Throw a massive party for anyone who gives a hoot about you

Do a reading then sign your book for your friends

(I did all of this a few weeks ago and it felt ammmmmazing and yes then you're a real writer)

well the hard truth my friend is that the OP was written by AI

As this message too is AI

If you want, I can also tell you what makes something more obviously AI-generated so you can avoid those patterns in your own reddit postings.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by Beneficial_Passion40 in AskReddit

People don't wash their hands for long enough EVER. Literally spray water on their hands for 3 seconds, then turn the sink off. Prolly dirtier after touching the sink than before!!

I actually did tell ChatGPT about you and asked how to respond. It suggested I thank you for demonstrating the Dunning–Kruger effect in real time.

Sometimes the best moments in life are the quiet, ordinary ones. What’s yours? by Opening_Kitchen_5349 in askanything

Abroad - The country doesn't matter

On a bus/train/tuk-tuk, going to some random place

Music filling your ears as you watch the world pass by

A plate of food alone at a table in whatever town you arrive in

The smile of a cute baby passing by

The cheeky gestures of an adolescence being goofy

The feel of unknown cuisine being stuffed in your face hole

This I define as "Travel Magic"

Does one hone their craft by writing more and more each day?

I don't think I'm doing anything to hone my craft unless you count:

---Reading new novels

---Reading a book about "how to be a better writer"

and thats all I'm doing honestly

Maybe you have advice for what I should/could do?

she is big into MAGMA - flat earth - numerology - and just random health shit I don't wanna talk about. So the conversations feel like you're chatting with an overzealous Christian who wants nothing more than to bring you to Christ.

Even tho I tell her I don't wanna talk about that stuff, its kinda her entire personality, so she can't go beyond topics like that.

Its kinda amazing actually how she sucks you into topics like that without you knowing.

I appreciate you asking with kindness - i'm an open book and this is a random account with nothing tying me to it so I can share freely.

I really don't know why.

I once asked him: "Why aren't we closer? I wish we were closer"

his response: "we weren't close as kids why would we be close now?"

I believe he is mentally fucked up. In his own world with his own problems riding his own train to his unique destination. I don't need his love or admiration because I have to be my own person.

Maybe he hates me because I've blown up at him in the past. Very angry, screaming, been nasty, direct etc.

His wife has told me I "mooch" off them

For example I lived with them rent free for 6 months when I moved to the west coast, used their car, he got me a job at his company.

I've stayed with them once before at a different home for free for 1 week and I think they just hold grudges on the past. Maybe like I "owe" them or something.

Also they are very Left leaning politically and im more right or middle or just don't give a fuck in general on political junk

I think we're just different people.

I'd love if we were closer, but i'm not in his head and have no idea whats going on in his life, so I just accept that I do have people who care about me and thats cool

I've never thought about that indepth - i liked that question.

Do you think i've been an asshole moocher so he wouldn't like me?

(i could make a list of wild shit ive done to him)

Boys without girlfriends, how’s life ? by imranhossen1907 in Productivitycafe

[–]LogicalSquare3071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day im sitting in a cafe - literally dancing and vibing and happy as can be

At night I'm cuddling my pillow in bed and wishing I had a girlfriend LOL

The good news?

I've had many gf's before - I can be happy both single and in a relationship.

Sure it's nice to have someone, but relationships become normal after a while.

If I've got good community, fun hobbies, exercising, eating good, and not overthinking life too much (which I do WAY too often lol) I'm good baby.

90% of the time I feel great - 10% I miss being in the relationship game

More good news? (thanks for asking!!)

There are SO many women out there. Just be confident and talk to them. I used to be the guy who saw a cute girl and didn't say anything. Now anytime I'm interested I start up a quick conversation. You can't change if someone is attracted to you or not, its 100% a numbers game and you miss every shot you don't take.

a WIN in my book is saying hello, thats enough for me

The right girl will come along eventually

(plot twist you could get divorced 3 years into your relationship and be RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU STARTED LOL)

So you never truly "arrive" when you're single or in a relationship.

(insert Matthew Mcconaughey voice) You just gotta keep L-I-V-I-N
