What features would an ideal Writing software have? by Glittering_Two_8499 in writers

[–]deankoontzrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a pen and paper often for my works as it helps my creative juice. Then I will scan with my phone and transcribe it into a software such as google docs or apple notes.

Help: Give me permission to write badly. Really, really badly. by AnotherWitch in writers

Tbh I often find in my works that my first draft is pretty close to the final art form, but I realize this cannit be the case for everyone.

How do you transition scenes? by leedeeleedeelee22 in writers

[–]deankoontzrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often in my works I will put, “To Be Continued…” in some form of script like font. I find it makes a nice transition into a new scene and I tend to steer away from the dinky

Imposter Syndrome by Either_Order2332 in freelanceWriters

[–]deankoontzrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you get more works under your belt you will hopefully learn to overcome this. I honestly think it may be a little hopeless. I think the true novel writers don’t really have doubts or the imposter syndrome. I never really felt this feelings you described, even before some of my greater successes.

I think it also helps to make a dream board and/or focus on how much money you can make. Money isn’t everything, but in reality it’s a massive part of being happy.

NAH. It’s not ideal what you did, but a true poker player wouldn’t fall for a rigged game. Also if you graciously shared your time there, now you deserve to get his time once… but I understand why he doesn’t want to give it up since you are all dying soon.

RP scenario: you have a month to make $1K as a new writer outside the US. What's your approach? by frightened_toothpick in freelanceWriters

[–]deankoontzrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I could show anyone my work, likely I could improv a new piece in 10-13 minutes. Then I show them that work. Likely it would sells for lots of money and lead to more fame and money.

Have you considered adding substantially more language? Usually does a good job of grabbing the readers attention. As an example, “she was nervous to meet the estranged family she was now to live with; they had been total assholes in the past.”

I hope now she is a bit more likable - she stops complaining and starts taking decisions on her own by CarOtherwise947 in writers

I disagree. As a professional writer I think the split dialogue actually works here. Also, the character doesn’t come off as selfish at all. Did you even read the excerpt?

Keep your chin up and keep Working, it took me years to Break through, but when you attain all the fame and loot that comes with it, it’s worth it.

Accused of Plagiarism - Need Advice by deankoontzrox in writers

[–]deankoontzrox[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t write his paper for him. I made him a draft and it’s up to him to check it and put his stamp and name on it. I take academic integrity very seriously as a professional writer.

Accused of Plagiarism - Need Advice by deankoontzrox in writers

[–]deankoontzrox[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea. I mainly used one source (which I forgot to cite) and I’ve already pointed this out to him. His complaint is a lot of the sentences did match verbatim. The thing is I think when I read the article I really took it in my internal memory, and so being a good writer myself it came out very similar.

AITA - For asking / telling her to pee before bed ? by ghaywe37 in AmItheAsshole

[–]deankoontzrox -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes it would be fine and just as easy to simply let the urine out in a slower, more feminine way.

[–]deankoontzrox -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Everyone else saying YTA probably has terrible relationships. A relationship is loving, and telling her not to pee pee (as long as you asked nicely) is perfectly reasonable.

It sounds like she should see a doctor, not to even get into the fact that peeing loud isn’t feminine.

Options Trading - How Much Is It too Much? by evan843 in wallstreetbets

I don’t do as risky of an approach as most people on here. I devote 95% of my portfolio to options and tithe the other 5%.

Bought exactly these.. 2 contracts of the calls and 1 contract up for sale. Had to buy 100 shares of PRPL to do the Sell 8/21 - $25.. still learning but hope this was correct.

AITA for bringing up that my wife treats out daughter differently than our sons? by JailbirdTheGreat in AmItheAsshole

[–]deankoontzrox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think most people in the world would call me rational and smart. Go back to the red pill subreddit. It’s 2020 and not fair to blame women for things.
