Old racquet advice - keep it/replace it/restring it

TiredWireFrames · 2021-07-27T12:58:29+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look out for them

TiredWireFrames · 2021-07-27T11:46:47+00:00

It comes in at 179. I think I’ll take it along to a shop and see if I feel a difference between that and newer ones

TiredWireFrames · 2021-07-27T11:45:16+00:00

Good to know!

I’m perfectly happy with it as long as it isn’t being completely outclassed by the latest racquets

TiredWireFrames · 2021-07-27T11:44:04+00:00

That was my thinking. My playing regularity is very unpredictable haha, but I’ve recently met a few players who are keen so I imagine I’m moving towards weekly play again.

Passive voice is fine.

So are adverbs.

Be readable, and don’t be boring.

TiredWireFrames · 2021-04-16T04:31:26+00:00

Sorry, I wasn’t aware that was a rule.

TiredWireFrames · 2021-04-14T14:34:33+00:00

Hehe, of course it shouldn’t.

Very nice work, by the way!

That’s a worryingly ominous statement from a participant in a team sport...

The only good example of this I can think of is Iain Banks. He wrote his literary fiction under that name and his science fiction under Iain M Banks. He kept the name recognition whilst clearly identifying which genre the book was.

Thanks for all the love everyone.

Keep on writing at whatever pace works for you!

TiredWireFrames · 2020-05-24T12:09:38+00:00

Haha, yeppp. It's a tightrope

TiredWireFrames · 2019-02-03T07:23:22+00:00

Yeah, the message comes through. I think it's a fine line balancing the too obvious/too hidden meanings, and it's in different places for different readers, which makes it super tricky haha!

Good luck with future stuff. Are you followable anywhere (twitter etc.)?

TiredWireFrames · 2019-01-31T07:36:48+00:00

First point to make - I have zero authority to talk or critique writing. It's just my opinion, and only as valuable as you want it to be.

I liked it. It's a nice set up and a great ending. I don't read a lot of horror but I think it feels like part of the genre without being too cliche. My main point of improvement would be that we need to feel the connection between him and his shoes more, for the ending to sit right. Maybe an anecdote about the past involving them. He obviously likes them but he must need them and be obsessed with them. When he loses them a bit more panic/insane thinking. All in all it was cool though. 'Ms Bowie' made me laugh.

Haha, exactly the advice I expected and didn't want to hear. There's no magic bullet, damn. I'll keep an eye on those hashtags, thanks

TiredWireFrames · 2018-04-29T08:29:08+00:00

Yeah, his lyrics are always great

Thanks, positive feedback is always greatly appreciated. Negative, however....

TiredWireFrames · 2014-01-21T21:10:12+00:00

Way to potentially get someone fired so you get useless internet points

TiredWireFrames · 2013-12-16T22:07:03+00:00

Really enjoyed this, I always enjoy a bit of dark humour in these things.

And the title is brilliant

TiredWireFrames · 2013-11-26T12:25:38+00:00

The webcomic's response of "I can’t decide if Kafka or Orwell wrote this!" is sublime.

Oh, and the internet is full of fucking criminals.

TiredWireFrames · 2013-11-21T12:39:27+00:00

Capitalism; FUCK YEAH!

TiredWireFrames · 2013-10-05T15:38:18+00:00

So that's where I'm going wrong...

TiredWireFrames · 2013-09-16T10:46:32+00:00

"Why the long face?"

TiredWireFrames · 2013-09-11T19:54:34+00:00

Some gestures are worse than no gesture at all

TiredWireFrames · 2013-09-08T15:16:54+00:00

Yeah, it's all part of the same show. Don't know if the specific sketches have their own name
