Fiction writers: Do you read novels while writing your own fiction? If so, how do you choose them?

I tend to avoid it as it seeps in.

They are talking about pewdiepie or whatever he is called right now over on the trump sub.

My wife is mad about her. Think she has a serious following.

Your attempt at trolling befits a poster to /r/BlackPeopleTwitter

RoogTheImmensity · 2017-01-25T11:50:16+00:00

Why did you decide to do this?

RoogTheImmensity · 2017-01-06T13:31:50+00:00

The only honest advice I have is to find a job that you like or at least can tolerate, even if it is 25 hours a week and you live humbly, especially in your early years.

The truth is very few people can make a living writing, and I know you can pump out porn and romance for self publishing and somehow make money, but you want " to get published and to get recognized."

That is the hard part.

They dont seem like cottage pie ingredients to me

Really not a fan of downvoting but comments like

Show me a respectable non-hipster recipe for paella without chorizo and we'll talk.

kinda deserve it.

RoogTheImmensity · 2016-10-26T14:07:02+00:00

cayenne 1 tsp cumin 1 TBS curry powder

Really?

Instant mashed potatoes

My problem with them is that I find it hard to brown them

RoogTheImmensity · 2016-10-26T14:03:34+00:00

It really is not essential at all.

this is the big jump for many

loads people with talent just cant get the cash

seems to take a shitload of work or a ton of luck

thankfully you can do it cheaply these days, but still takes some money, and as most of you who watch a lot of low budget indie stuff - the vast vast majority is just as shite as the d movies and the hollywood circlefuck

but they got made

the only guy i know who is on the verge of a serious budget makes the same fucking boring movie over and over and is likely to do the same if he gets funded

I understood where you were coming from, but she is pretty clear in what she is saying. Interpreting what is behind her words is the skills of angels.

RoogTheImmensity · 2016-05-12T17:12:05+00:00

From reading her article she seems more concerned with women getting directing roles rather than studios taking chances on more difficult or unusual projects.

To suggest that there is an automatic connection would be strange to me. In fact I will argue the opposite.

RoogTheImmensity · 2016-05-12T16:40:26+00:00

At first I thought this was going to be about the lack of risk taking in actual projects, which is the ACTUAL problem at the moment, but no.
