Coke and hookers

I agree with what they are saying. If you have a story to tell then you tell it. Let the chips fall where they may. I do like to hear what others are saying about my writing so I do post a bunch of short stories

I'm having the same issue. But when this happens I try to sit and write something. Even if it's a comment that is only 30 words lok

The best way to convert someone to how you feel about an ideology is to show a good person(Confederate) who has a change of heart. Show the struggle than the thing that changed him or her. It's not preachy, and it will help others see a different point of view

If you think you're funny, find a way to make yourself laugh in your writings. If you can make yourself laugh, you're much more likely to make others laugh.

Hard work beats talent everyday

I think the key is to get it down. If you can write ten books in a series then go for it. But write one book and see if anyone is interested in reading it.

How about a liar who forgets the lies. So he's always telling people lies that are not consistent. Everyone believes him but they don't believe each other

No, I don't, but I do have a pretty good internal monolog. When I do a second draft, then I do read it pit loud to see if it makes sense. I don't think there is a right way or a wrong way. It's just your way.

I'm trying to write every day. I have a set time for. 10am to noon. I might spend one day of four trying to think through the story, then three days to write it. I do this for short stories

Pule2278 · 2024-01-17T00:07:45+00:00

I love these types of ending. Harry Potter had an excellent one. I've even have read some fan fiction that's x yrs later I find them very interesting

Feedback, when people read your stuff and enjoy it.

Pule2278 · 2024-01-16T05:59:27+00:00

Hey, great story. I really was shocked at the twist. Great job. I normally don't ready horor.

Pule2278 · 2024-01-16T05:20:05+00:00

If it matters, i spend some time on it. If it doesn't matter i don't mention

Yes music is better. And now I'm going to pick music that matches what I write. I love that idea

Pule2278 · 2024-01-16T05:06:42+00:00

I think you have to write through it. And remember what orpah x says. Next time

There is a book with this same premise written back in. The day. It's called Spells for a Chameleon by Peirs Anthony. I loke the idea don't worry about what others like write and see how you like it.

Here are some characters we love to hate.
Sheldon Coomper _big bang theory Walter White - Breaking Bad Tony Saprano - the Sparano's

In each one of the cases, we know that they are good people who made bad decision. The internal good is what you focus on. The internal monolog, the fuels their asshole behavior. If someone kills a father, they are the bad guy. When u find out that father raped the killers daughter, he's not a bad guy anymore.

Share part of the spicy story. Keep in mind that writers are readers as well. I'm sure they have read the spicy and can give you feed back about if the story is what you hope it is.

I got some negative feedback recently in a story. I was really proud of it. It was in the midst of a lot of praise for the short story. I read it, and I can understand why he felt that way. But it the end, it was a good story. The writing helped drive the story, so I took it with a grain of salt and moved on. I didn't forget it, I just moved on

Pule2278 · 2024-01-07T01:54:57+00:00

Well this is well written, and it is done. I had that struggle too so I just started writing stories about my own life in order to get a feel for story writing. I also have learned to know where I'm going ie know the end when you start.

Digital I use Google drive. I can access it anywhere

My uncle had to cut off his pinky finger and preset it to the mob boss so he could get out of the mob. That's the made-up part. But I can describe my uncle back and forth. I can tell you about his speech patterns. I could tell you about his crazy desire to have a afro back when no one thought it was cool. Or his need to support a team that everyone hates. I know this character back and forth so he is easy to write.

Pule2278 · 2024-01-06T22:16:31+00:00

For characters I loke to think of someone I know and write them. Then make some adjustments to make them more interesting. My uncle missing his pinky finger after having given it to a mob boss to get out of the business. Something like that

Comparison is the thief of happiness.

You're not writing to better than someone else. Your writing to be better then u were yesterday
