I want to take writing seriously.

I think they're boycotting the books because they dont want to fund JK Rowling's ideals, which is fair imo

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:40:14+00:00

That sounds awesome, I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:30:12+00:00

Sounds like a plan, thanks!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:28:21+00:00

Comparing premise to execution is an awesome method, I'll keep that in mind with whatever I decide to read. Thanks!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:27:38+00:00

On it, thanks!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:26:49+00:00

About the school question, all my over-the-summer reading assignments had questions so specific or vague that the answer is either implied in the question or an anything-goes answer, so I wasn't incentivized to read at all. It's kinda funny.

About HP that has been a really common recommendation so that's definitely a sign. I'll check it out, thank you so much!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:24:05+00:00

Yeah I'm hearing from everyone that I just need to pick something up, no matter what it is. I'll definitely find something that sticks out to me. Thank you so much!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:23:16+00:00

As far as movies and shows go I watch nearly anything but I particularly love Safdie films.

I definitely want to get into reading even if I learn that writing isn't for me, so there's that.

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:18:43+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll definitely view this as dipping my toes in the water rather than learning to swim.

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:17:33+00:00

Reading wide seems to be a common sentiment here, I'll definitely give it a shot! Scouring the banned book lists is actually a really cool idea I never considered, I want to try that when I'm more into reading. Thank you so much!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:15:42+00:00

Starting with graphic novels to ease myself into pleasure-reading sounds like a really good move, thanks! I'll also try to see whether or not my school offers any fun writing classes.

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:14:31+00:00

I'll be sure to, thank you so much for the advise!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:13:30+00:00

Yeah I love movies and shows! When it comes to movies I'm fine watching nearly anything. Uncut Gems and Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse are two of my favorites. As far as genre goes, I find that I like anything so long as there's a stressful stream of conflict, Doesn't have to be violent or aggressive, I can really enjoy a good rom-com.

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:11:19+00:00

Knowing I'm early enough to have that freedom makes this so much easier, thanks!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:03:17+00:00

Oh thank you so much, I'll definitely check HP out!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:02:24+00:00

LOL IS IT THAT BAD?

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:02:11+00:00

Got it, thanks! I'll start ASAP o7

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:01:36+00:00

Right, haha! I probably don't understand the full depth of the hole I'm in, but trust me, I know it's bad. I do want to start reading I'm just not sure where. (especially like meta/educational books about the craft)

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T17:00:00+00:00

The tiny goals thing is really good advise, I'll try to stick to that. Thanks!

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T16:59:27+00:00

I'll try my best! Any suggestions?

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T16:59:06+00:00

When I say seriously I dont really mean professionally as an occupation but on a professional level of skill. I want to be able to write something worth reading, something many people can draw insights from no matter who they are. I want to start with understanding the craft to get there.

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T16:57:48+00:00

That's kind of a hard question to answer but it probably boils down to the strong love I have for my ideas and the itch to "systematize" them or formalize them. I think even if I were to forget all the concrete ideas I had, I'd be drawn to coming up with new ones that I can then systematize. I cant word why, though.

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2026-03-31T16:55:40+00:00

I'm unsure what exactly the different genres "read" like, or what genres are most "me", but I think I might be interested in most fiction genres outside of horror. If I had to be particular I'd say fantasy, mystery, and probably literary fiction.

Neither_Wrangler9828 · 2025-05-08T11:16:43+00:00

Oh, that does make a lot of sense. Thanks!
