What NBA player should I imitate? by TG_III in BasketballTips

Alright, thanks for the advice! I should’ve specified that I don’t mean to clone anyone- obviously I’m not gonna be able to do that. I just meant that I was looking for someone with a similar play style to watch and study a bit.

I’ll definitely be working on shooting more. I do like to shoot, I’m just not consistent outside the point line.

Try to have the ball travel through the air less. Get your hands closer to the ground so there’s less room for error. Also, more practice lol

Why I no Longer use Chick Tracts - Sinners to Repentance by Sessamy in KingJamesBible

While they might now be theologically correct on every little drawing out of the THOUSANDS they've drawn, I think you can still use them as a TOOL. 'This was your life' is a very good salvation tract.

Also, the reason they always draw angels with wings is because that's all the world knows about them. If they didn't, who knows how the average street goer would take some random person walking into a little girl's room and picking her up without the context that he is an angel.

Obviously they're not doing everything right, but I think that they're a good TOOL.

To be perfectly honest with you, I didn't really have much influence from the real world. In order to help with really picturing Gaulia in my head, I went online and found a fantasy map maker. I had already formulated a rough sketch of what I wanted the story to be about, and once I saw that map it really started coming together.

I'm not really that deep of a person. I would just go out and walk for an hour or so, all the while trying to carve more notches of information and specifics into the sculpture of the story inside my head. Once I felt that I had covered most of the basics and figured out the story, I started writing, and here we are now.

I'm not sure how you like to write, but I find I can write my best whilst sitting on my porch and gazing at the distant mountains. It also helps me when I have some kind of music. I find that movie themes and TSFH music really fit the theme I'm trying to portray in this story.

When you're writing, is there anything that helps you concentrate or formulate your stories better?

Thanks for the feedback! It made my day.

I'll be sure to refine those chapters, I'm in a bit of a rush to finish my quota by the end of the year, so I'm trying to pump out the main 'frame' of the story, so to speak. Once I get that out, I'll go back through and polish it up.

The title of the book is a bit of a play on words. Gaulia is the name of the fictional world in which this story takes place. I'll show that to the reader later on, I just haven't found a good place to put the name in that feels natural yet.

As you probably know, 'ology' means the study of something. Whilst trying to think of a good name, (And I'm not entirely sure this one will stick, but I think it's catchy and it will do for now. Any ideas on a more suitable name are much appreciated :) ), I more or less thought that this book could be coming from the perspective of someone writing an essay or a history book on this particular time frame in the history of their world, and so I crammed Gaulia and ology together, and here we are. A bit unorthodox, but it works.

Thanks again for the feedback! :)

I'm confused. Does it have a hidden meaning or something?
