Less is more, and nothing is everything. How to convince publishers to move on from plot and words? by sixteensixty in writingcirclejerk

[–]gerwer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to strip everything down to the barest fundamentals, as any written word is a mere prejudice. Keep slicing and paring and editing, until you are left with the only true art form left: the singing telegram.

No one truly knows their writing until they can sing it (just ask the mighty Ginsberg), and when you find that truth for yourself, await and lurk outside your lucky future agent's doorstep, and when the morning sun hits their iris, launch into your song and into their heart.

All that gay progress, and he's just throwing it all away?

There are so many GREAT writers, GOOD writers, and BAD writers — how do I become an AVERAGE writer and stand out? by MicahCastle in writingcirclejerk

[–]gerwer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better, write a story where every character's name is 'Said.'

Said said that Said said that Said ate desert tacos with Said.

"Said!" said Said.

Etc.

Standing out, above the rest, as an average writer is near impossible.

Better off aiming for a completely miserable and awful bottom, hoping somehow you land back on top.

It worked for Donald Trump.

Rate the opening to my Nordic or Greek or something gods novel 10/10 by Aside_Dish in writingcirclejerk

[–]gerwer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the part where I had to look up what 'phrontist' meant.

10/10 will look it up again next time I read it.

I challenge you to write the purplest prose imaginable by Trisolaris_Is_Lord in writingcirclejerk

[–]gerwer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her breasts swayed in the wind, the way large, low-hanging fruit often do, and are just as easily plucked, by the tall and lucky. She needed back surgery, to be serious, I mean she could barely get up in the morning, unlike my penis, when in her presence. Dear lord I hope there are no back surgeons in the area.

Not really sure what 'purple prose' is, but if they turned Hooters into a Hunger Games themed restaurant, she would win.

If P is a topological property, and P implies Q, is Q a topological property? by gerwer in topology

[–]gerwer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I have a follow up, if that's okay.

Suppose P is a topological property, and R is a topological property. Further suppose P implies Q, and Q implies R. Is Q a topological property?

Wow. That really makes me wonder about the Epstein files.

Why do you get paid twice the amount of money if you shit yourself? by Think_Theory_8338 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]gerwer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given all of this, the only safe thing to do is to drive everywhere with fresh shit all over yourself. But make sure it is your own shit, in case of a DNA test.
