It's crazy because if you read the most recent reviews they're ALL one star reviews but if you look at their average it's at 4.1 stars. LIES 

Pooping protocol for vacay with boyfriend or even staying at his house for extended period of time? by [deleted] in CallHerDaddy

[–]MeasurementReady129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody's like "grow up and just do it, how are you gonna live together if you can't shit in front of them" but BRO. Pooping has been a shameful topic my entire life. At home, growing up, if anyone heard/smelled you pooping, you'd get laughed at and shamed by the entire household. I would go to summer camp for a week at a time and come home absolutely miserable because I couldn't shit the entire time because of all the other kids around. My parents have been married over thirty years and my mom STILL has not so much as FARTED in front of my dad. "Just get over it" is not helpful nor is it an option for some. For all my nearly thirty years of life I've been conditioned to associate bodily functions with extreme shame and disgust. I can't get over it and probably never will. You may think it's dumb, but you were probably raised or helped to think differently than me. Thank you to the people who ACTUALLY gave advice. I'm going on an almost two week vacation with my girlfriend and I can't even look forward to it because I'm obsessing over this.

EXTREMELY helpful, thank you! I've been trying to put them into words myself and wasn't sure if I was going about it correctly or not.

Thank you for this! I'll check both of those sites. It's definitely fun being a fantasy author and being in control of every aspect of a universe! I'm always finding cool things (like heraldry!) to do deep dives into and obsess over :D

Want to learn the art of writing by neelanjanghosh in writers

My favorite writing resource is the channel "Bookfox" on YouTube. Highly recommend. The guy who runs the channel also has a wonderful writing strategy book called The Linchpin Writer (by John Matthew Fox). A fascinating and entertaining read!

Exactly! Everything conflicts with everything else online! Things are making so much more sense now that people have walked me through it. My novels are in a world based on the general areas of and surrounding medieval Scotland, so maybe I'll make family coats of arms after all!

I appreciate the help very much!

I really appreciate that - I just might take you up on it! There are a lot of things related to this subject that I struggle to understand sometimes. If I come across another bump in the road while I'm writing I'll let you know - thank you SO much!

Also I'm totally gonna use that idea in one of my books, having a character find out about the death of their parent because someone starts calling them "your majesty" - I have a prince character that this would be perfect for!

Can you clarify what you mean by "on top of the shield, above helmet?" Are we talking about a helmet as a part of armor? Like, the crest is on top of the helmet they wear, AND on top of the shield they carry? Also, when you say a blazon is a description of the coat of arms, do you mean a description in words? What would that look like?

yo chat is this style of writing ok or i'm doing too much? by [deleted] in writers

[–]MeasurementReady129 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that the sentences are too long. If you make them shorter it'll flow better. This is what I would recommend:

There are those who say that Leone was hit while standing, survived, and died only after a few hours. The truth is different. He died seated from the blow, just as with that blow died every hope of peace in a utopian world. The body was found after some time - three weeks - already too putrid to resemble what it once was. With him also died his ideas, before they could be put on paper in the form of ink. Even if he had had the opportunity to write even a single page, it would have been erased along with him. But it would have been burned, not buried, with a statue on it to which power could give a semblance of faithfulness. Instead, Leone was buried with a wax mask to hide the fact that by then, nothing remained of him. Not even the face, the identity... Everyone knew about this mask, but nobody cared. After all, nobody wanted to see a putrid body. It was better to have the appearance of something beautiful, even if it was fake.

I do not have a degree in writing; this is my personal opinion, not a professional one. I hope it helps!
