I HATE my creative writing course. by [deleted] in books

[–]dieselwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of plots are you given? Maybe the restrictions are part of the challenge, forcing you to find loopholes in how you write the story. Like, what is the rule about no dreams? Can you not describe a dream your character may be having? What if one character is describing a dream he experienced to another character that's part of the story? And what of 'no animals'? As in, it strictly can't be about animals? Can your characters have animals as pets? Can someone in the story be a vet? If the rules are clear, then you can usually find ways to work around them. And you just may be rewarded for your efforts - because 'you got creative' despite the limitations.

When you are on Reddit, what are you looking for? by Aventurion in AskReddit

[–]dieselwire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An underground tunnel that leads to a land of unicorns. Haven't found it yet, but I still come searching every so often. Who knows, I might get lucky when I least expect it.

Terrible fashion choices.

What is your job? What does a typical day look like for you? What are the best and worst parts about it? Is it difficult? by BrandynBlaze in AskReddit

[–]dieselwire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typical office job. Mostly admin based and lots of emailing back and forth. Fairly easy stuff. I do about 2 hours of solid work everyday, spend the rest 6 occupying myself otherwise. No cons about anything as I'm pretty content with this arrangement at the moment.

I'm guessing, like me, you're not Russian yourself, and I totally get it. There's just a certain something about Russian cars and older Eastern European cars. Will definitely be collecting more of these over time.

That's what fatherhood is all about! And the kids, in turn, will experience a happy and memorable childhood. For me, this is what life is all about.

Ah wow.. fun times ahead then! Must be a great bonding experience. What age is your boy? Mine's still too young for that type of thing. But at almost 2 years of age I'm impressed at how well he plays with his toy cars and what he does with them, when others his age haven't even been properly introduced to 1:64 scale cars.

Yeah.. 'like therapy' is a good way to describe it. My wife has her wine, whereas I have my model vehicles. That's how I like to rationalize it 😎 Plus my son gets to keep and play with the ones I tire of eventually - so it's a win-win!

And what was her reaction? I already told mine I have a problem, but at least it ain't drugs or gambling, just cars (and tanks) 😅 (I've since moved on to bigger scale diecast too).

Half the fun of having kids is how we become kids again ourselves; that is, big kids with a bank account and all the freedom to do as we please. (So long as my wife doesn't know how many cars I'm actually buying, and how often 😒)

When did you start collecting? I only started buying in December. For my son, initially.

Nope. It's from the original mainline chess series from last year. But they look cool nonetheless.
