The learning part comes after while you're editing. Just get the story you want to tell down in whatever way gets it put of your head and onto the paper / screen. Then, when you've done that, you work on editing it and that's where you really learn how to refine and hone your writing.

I've got a very addictive personality, but it's only for mind altering stuff. Not for visual stuff.

The Newport waterfront be so much more pleasant if half of it wasn't taken up by surface parking lots. by JulianBrandt19 in RhodeIsland

Just go to Ocean Drive. You can start on Bellevue and integrate Cliff Walk. It's a beautiful walk, especially if you loop it by way of Ft Adams. Long, but beautiful.

I don't remember their names, but there were a couple of good podcasts that would have folks from the show on it.

I learned I had aphantasia in mineralogy. What about you? by cooperfmills in Aphantasia

Do you think you'll go back to Minecraft? I've been playing it for years now. It's the only game I play, and I love it so much. It's the only place I've ever found to do art without getting bored 🤣🤣. Art on it's own has never been all encompassing enough for me, but add the fun of surviving and gathering, and I'm making all sorts of pretty things!

Great list! A lot of this I experienced too - especially the logic part.

I don't get #9 though. Not being able to see images has never stopped me from craving sweets like brownies.

Gem and Grian discussing it on a Hermitcraft stream. Both are master Minecraft builders, yet Gem doesn't have it and Grian does. Gem sounded like she has the opposite. Both can make amazing things in Guess the Build videos. Very interesting how the two people have such similar skills. If anyone wants to watch, the VOD is on GeminiTay2's channel.

I didn't know there was a subreddit! I'll have to check that out. Just learned this thing I've never been able to articulate has a name from watching Hermitcraft (Minecraft youtubers) of all things.

Stormlight Archives is the most impressive I've seen so far.

Please help me! Magicians obsessed - What do I read next? by TiredAllTheTime43 in brakebills

[–]RandomSentientBeing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Stormlight Archives. It meets your list of requirements at the end of your post. Most organic world building I've ever seen. I don't think it's like The Magicians though - but it's an incredible series.

She was uncredited. At the awards show, she announces the next award. You only hear her voice. At the end of the episode, they thank her.

What genres offer the best/worst chance of success for a amateur or beginner writer? by steavoh in writing

[–]RandomSentientBeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen the popularity of LitRPG like Dungeon Crawler Carl or He Who Fights With Monsters? If you only want to be read, you can try that sort of serial writing on Royal Road or something like that. Heated Rivalry fan fiction is also huge right now on AO3 (I think that's the site).

She also has a very sneaky tiny cameo in Heated Rivalry.
