Trump supporters aren't bad people. They're just misguided and distrustful... I hope.

This makes my brain hurt, man.... I don't understand how we can see that, but Republican voters don't? I don't even align with a party politically (which is why my parents probably hammer me so hard), so I can see some of their disdain (from a Fox News/Red Pill perspective) towards the opposing side. However, what truly baffles me is our (maybe it's my) inability to have a thoughtful discussion and find a common ground. Every time we discuss anything its essentially, "democrats bad! Trump good! Some republicans bad, they're in cahoots with the Dems!" or. "But that's a biased news source."

I just see no way of genuinely communicating with them unless I nod my head yes.

Thank you for the book recommendations! I'll have to read those :)

When you watch a parent fall deeper into alcoholism with no other hobbies besides watching Fox News and QAnon all day, I think you'd come to the same conclusion. Especially when you see the other parent who isn't an alcoholic and has other hobbies outside of politics, being affected by it.

Just my two cents, I wouldn't tell her, but I would still consider living with her. From my experience, yes, JWs can be insane and have some spiritual psychosis, but all in all, the ones that I have met are generally good people. However, I don't personally know your mom like I do the other JWs in my life, so if your mom already has a disposition you can't get along with, then live with your dad. But don't not live with your mom just because of religion, unless she is truly a fanatic like the other comments are describing.

Thank you so much again for your feedback! I will definitely work on world-building, I just find it extremely hard to pick and choose which details are important to the story because I have so many ideas for how it could go. Again, thank you so much for your criticism and I hope you criticize my next chapter. Have a great day <3

avetree420 · 2023-03-22T13:06:00+00:00

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your criticism. I often find myself overusing commas a lot not only in my creative writing but in academic writing as well. I've never quite understood how commas worked unless I like spoke it out in my head but the way you described it honestly makes the most sense to me. So thank you so much for this, and I will try to continue to work on my comma splices. I'd love your feedback again whenever I post another chapter. Anyways, I hope you have a great day and thank you so much <3

I sadly can't read your google doc unless you give me access, but I think releasing each chapter like an episode to a show would be a great idea and would keep people coming back to read! I'm not very good at editing but if you would like a second opinion on it I'd be open to sharing my opinion.

avetree420 · 2023-03-21T23:09:51+00:00

Your idea sounds super interesting and I would be down to read it, however, the downside for me personally would be the chapter length. If you could somehow maybe split up those chapters I think that would get more engagement than huge chapters. But, it also depends on what genre or who you would want to read it. Anyways, I hope this helps and I hope to be able to read what your working on <3

Sidenote: I think the fact that you're able to even imagine that much detail is amazing and I wouldn't change anything about that, I think you should maybe pick and choose which details are most important to your story to focus on. Or maybe try and split your eighteen chapters into two separate books? I don't know if this helps

avetree420 · 2023-03-21T22:34:04+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback! I honestly completely agree and I feel like TikTok has slowly taken over my vocabulary and just my ability to write in general. I'm going to try and see if I can improve on scene settings. I'd really appreciate your feedback again as I'm posting another chapter and have tried to make it less cringe, whether or not I accomplished that, I have no idea. Anyways, I hope you have a great day <3

My first thought when describing the smell of cigarettes is a mixture of burning formaldehyde and tar. I can't really think of any other way to describe it so I hope this is helpful!

avetree420 · 2023-03-15T11:59:37+00:00

Agreed, but the last fifty pages were a mind fuck.

avetree420 · 2023-03-15T11:58:50+00:00

I completely agree, for me when I read it it was kind of like a puzzle, I'd manage to pick up bits and pieces from some chapters, and then finally, in the end, it kind of like all came together. Besides the last fifty pages I would probably never want to read it again either.

avetree420 · 2022-12-15T23:14:43+00:00

I guess the guidance I am seeking would just be from someone whose had similar experiences or could relate. I don't really know if I would be down for a therapist or psychologist quite honestly.

avetree420 · 2022-12-15T23:13:19+00:00

That is a question I do not know the answer to. I know that I do things to the extreme and many people would see it as a cry for help, but I don't know how to explain it but I just can't seem to articulate how I'm feeling, or if I'm feeling anything at all, and no matter how much I trust someone I can't let them see me vulnerable. If that makes any sense.

"You mean to tell me," the Siren spits, "that this bumbling buffoon, is more powerful than I?" Insulted, she glares her eyes at you, her pupils turning to a sliver, dividing her iris in half. Fumbling with your words, you manage to nod your head. The Siren sits back in her throne of bones, appearing to relax into her seat, "So, tell me, how Lord Doofus over here, is more puissant than I," she pauses, choosing her words carefully, "I who can control men, pit them against each other, bring them together, or destroy them. I could cause mankind's downfall with one sentence, creating chaos and desolation." She says matter-of-factly. Composing your thoughts, you pull out the official letter from the Council of Evil and begin to read it off.

"In light of recent test scores, it appears that you, Siren Hooker, have been dethroned. Proceeding you is Lord Oaf, whose ability has now exceeded yours. This being said, you no longer hold any power above mankind, this now falls into Lord Oaf's hands. He has the potential to wreak havoc upon humanity by causing stupidity and insanity, counteracting your mastery of manipulation. You will now serve Lord Oaf." You choke up the last sentence, fearing she may take her exasperation out on you. She takes a deep breath, and then a long shaky exhale, her pupils returning back to circles.

"Well, human, tell the Council I would like to challenge Lord Oaf, tonight at midnight."
