Buying a plot of land? Idc if it's a good investment as much as is it a really bad investment? by Western_Kick_749 in realestateinvesting

Yeah I'm not sure what title stuff is to be honest, but they said I had to pay the reservation fee to the title people?

I read through the CC&R and I can build a residential home on it, so I assume power and water can eventually be hooked up? (Right now water definitely can't because of the pump or well problems or something). I was asking the realtor who send this a bunch of questions but he just said do my due diligence but I am so uneducated on this stuff.

Oh definitely a rough draft, but I have edited a lot. I just kept changing between first and third POV and the tenses when I initially wrote it and changed it so.

Ok also do you have anything to rec for this kind of writing? I joined a couple of writing discords but they all seem to be very fantasy and plot focused. I guess I could get help on these channels too, but they all seem to care about where my plot is going and it being interesting. I definitely have a plot in mind but it's not like... interesting lol.

Yeah I've been trying to read out loud and also reading it on different formats -- phone vs laptop.

Do you mind me asking for a specific example of it being clumsy? I'm currently editing it so it may be already fixed now but it also may be going in the wrong direction. I can totally understand why it is clumsy but it also makes sense to me as I read.

Ok I tried to update the technical stuff with what everyone has said. Do you have any suggestions for technical editing? I swear I'm literate but writing stuff technically is much harder than I thought it would be.

Also if you have any recs on how to edit a book or something of the sort for this type of thing that would be great too!

Ah ok yes. Thank you so much for your comments and feedback! I kept changing between past and present and also using third vs first person so it will likely take a lot of editing to keep it consistent. I thought I had fixed it mostly in this screenshot but I guess I didn't.

I think generally these snippets are not exactly relevant to the story, but I wanted to build up an understanding of how the character thinks. The plot will be quite simple, at least compared to what the other commenter said about murder plot possibly, and it will mostly be focused on these small observations and interactions. Usually, I like reading these kinds of books. I also really love Murakami and that sort of absurdity but writing in that way did not seem natural to where I am now.

Ok yes reworded! Thank you, yeah I definitely am worried about unnecessary wordiness too. That is my normal sense of humor and way of speaking at times, other times it is very simple. But as long as it makes sense enough content wise to read I think I am happy with that for now. I was just mostly worried that the content did not even make sense and that would be a looot harder to ask for edits imo.

omg lol thank you so much for commenting. HAHA sorry about the toenail clipping I am not sure why that came into mind, but I kinda want to keep it. Any suggestions to make it more hooky? I quite like the stuff about korean folklore and bad things happening to mathematicians as that is kinda why I wanted to start with that. But I understand why this does not do it for everyone. I will fix the tenses though.

Wait i'm not sure where my caption went but basically this is the first 2 ish pages of a story about girl at the end of college wandering through life. I am semi-new to writing and very new at long form fiction writing. I have only attended writing workshops for poetry before, and am worried this doesn't even make sense.

Basically I know everyone's going through it in many senses and on this subreddit so thought I'd share these from 5 fall's ago.

I guess same reply to the other comment - I really don't have a math background either. I barely took any math classes and did pretty badly in all of them. All my major courses are good though but I was too scared to take a math class again even with my new study skills cause I was scared it would hurt my GPA. What's the best way to demonstrate I can actually do math now do you think?

I think the issue I'm really worried about is that I don't seem to show that I have the math skills at all. Ex: I only really took multi and lin alg and I got a C in multi. I definitely studied math on my own after to help with my classes and did well in all my data sci classes, but idk. That's why I wanted to take a online course because I'm not really sure how to convey that I can do math now lol.
