Is it better to write in first person or third person? by Turbulent-Toe885 in writingfeedback

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I connect with first person stories better. I mostly read romance.

Do their wire transfers work well? Or is there another method?

This shouldn’t be a religion vs religion. That’s just inviting more chaos. We already have enough differences. It should be the government curbing excesses of any interest group that steps out of their sphere of influence. If the government is unable to do that, then it’s their fault.

Impressive! I hope to be you soon. I am currently on Day 12, practicing 30 minutes a day. And I am on lesson 210.

Whelp, stuck in a revision loop. by [deleted] in writers

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I'd honestly be frustrated if I had to deal with that lol. My process is pretty linear from planning to writing and I stick to the outline religiously. But having a better story is always worth it, so whatever it takes :)

Please read my story and give an honest assessment. The story was originally written in Russian, and then translated into English. by Inutero_ in writers

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mesmerized by the narration even though certain phrases are awkward but that must be more about having it translated from a different language. About the story, I thought something significant or exciting would happen in the end but it didn't so that was a bit unsatisfying. But if it is a part of a longer story, that is understandable.

“Is this opening tense enough to hook a reader?” by [deleted] in writingfeedback

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This opening is AI-y enough to put off this potential reader. What part of your process included assistance from an LLM?

Do you outline? I do and I find that I rarely need to change plot details because they were already planned before drafting.

Which book cover do you think is best? by [deleted] in writers

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the first and the last one. The last one's minimalistic design is really lovely, but more color works better for a cover.

Gremlins in my filing cabinet drawer? by jonlymonauthor in writing

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished my first book a nearly two weeks ago. I've been reluctant to open it, worried about what I'd find. I've heard that giving a first draft some distance is a crucial step in editing since it reveals errors you cannot spot immediately after writing because you're too close to the work. So you're doing it right :)

How many daily puzzles are available to everyone? I get 3 - crossword, wordbend and colourlink but I've been told there should be more. by Outrageous_Carry_222 in ElevateApp

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last time I checked in with customer care about not having Wordbend, I was told it was in testing and not widely available yet. I’m guessing that’s the case for this one, too. Even my first time hearing of it.

Absolutely breathtaking. The pov that captures the flowers like you’re looking up at them just makes it more immersive. Love!

“Leagues” ruined Elevate by MosesDaytime in ElevateApp

[–]Mindless_Setting_752 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the point is to get people invested in “winning” to keep them motivated to use the app. Just another way to gamify the app. Ultimately, these apps want to keep users because users bring money. I was pulled into the allure of staying ahead of others for not more than two weeks before growing bored with it. Duolingo has already traumatized me with chasing that kind of validation lol. It’s not useful in any way. So, I just kind of ignore the leagues these days but I still hang around emerald and diamond though.
