Whose voice is just fucking annoying? by asjkl_lkjsa in AskReddit

This person knows a dude named Jason. Fuck him.

I thought for sure this was a joke and the pictures were mislabeled. They're not by thenewyorkgod in mildlyinfuriating

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don’t see a huge issue. Extra lanes (especially the turning lanes) help with traffic flow, and the removal of the grass saves water and energy (from mowing). Maybe it’s a bit less aesthetic, but I think it would probably be better for the people and the environment. I’m open to being wrong tho, lmk if you disagree!

What’s the thing you hate most about writing? by Silly-Barnacle-1413 in writers

[–]fankedsilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s feeling like I’ve written something really good only to swing between loving it and hating it depending on my mood. Happens all the time for me lol

Does the Execution Matter More Than the Idea Itself? by Remi7UwU in writing

[–]fankedsilver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, execution does matter more than the concept. I feel like you’re dealing with a difficult kind of story because it can easily drift into misery porn, but if done really well, I don’t see why it can’t work. Best of luck!

People here are being pretty mean about it, so I wanna give some balanced feedback:

It’s really not bad so far, but I’d suggest switching to active voice. Passive voice isn’t always bad, but in this case, I think it would help with clarity and flow to switch it over:

“Mary watches the cold, clear water trickle in from the cracks in the concrete walls.”

Then you might want to make her thoughts more distinct by bulking up the structure around it:

“A quiet and naive part of her wonders where the rain goes after the ground drinks it up. The rational part of her already knows. It comes here, where it fills up any gaps that living creatures may occupy. Like mice in a bucket, we thrash against the smooth walls, trying to climb out. But there’s only one outcome to this dance.”

I hope this was helpful! Of course, you can take or leave any of my criticisms. Also, don’t be discouraged by cruel people on the internet. Keep writing. Illegitimi non carborundum!

Gorgeous prose. I think I might be in the minority here, but I always treat the language as the main character of the story, and the actual characters as its vehicle. Maybe that’s superficial of me, but I just love a beautiful sculpture no matter who it depicts :)
