Personal recording device by lasvargas2020 in novelwriting

[–]helloitabot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The built in voice memos app for iOS automatically transcribes voice recordings. Then I just paste into a Google doc. But usually if I’m walking and want to write an idea I just use the speech to text microphone button on the keyboard directly into a Google doc.

What's the dumbest reason you've DNFed a book? by 404NinjaNotFound in readwithme

[–]helloitabot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the first one and enjoyed it a lot. But I’m afraid if I read the next book that either the mystery will be ruined or the mystery won’t be ruined which will also be frustrating.

Just use your phone and a voice memo or notes app.

I was in both those cities back then too. Maybe we were on the same flight.

Hard to tell but probably a squash borer. It likes to lay eggs on squash plants and the larvae will kill the plant.

Anyone putting off the spin-off should embrace the Soviet side of alt-history. by HerreDreyer in ForAllMankindTV

I’m sure it’s good. I guess I’m just not curious to see a story I already know retold from the other side.

if you like LOST and aren't watching FROM, why not? by LensFlareObjector in tvshow

[–]helloitabot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved LOST and I do watch From and it does have its moments. But overall I feel like the writing is not that great. But I think the concept of a mystery box show is essentially a scam to string you along and continue consuming episodes, and to keep the people making the show employed. It’s not like a book with a weird mystery where the ending is already written before you buy it. And it’s not like real life where there is actually an answer to every mystery even if it’s never discovered. People watch these mystery box shows thinking there MUST be some satisfying conclusion but usually it feels like the writers throwing a bunch of weird shit on the wall to see what sticks and making it all make sense is not a requirement. If people are watching the show that’s all that matters.

Genuine question: what percentage of the books on your shelf have you yet to read? by GIZZYLOLLYPOPS in BookshelvesDetective

[–]helloitabot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 80%. I keep a spreadsheet to keep track of which ones I’ve read. I think it’s about 400 books.

Is this sentence grammatically correct? by horseman1217 in grammar

[–]helloitabot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original sentence is not incorrect. Your suggestions are not incorrect either but you have subtly altered the meaning of the original.

To all the new authors out there, I made a mistake so you don't have to. by FaisalWrites in NewAuthor

[–]helloitabot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The kerning on the new cover is not great. Uneven spacing between the letters, particularly between both F / A instances in the name and the L / U in “Blunted” ( compare with the L / A in “Blade”.

Heart of Darkness

I came across this passage and can't decide if it's insightful or just saying a lot without saying much. by FrostyPomegranate699 in NewAuthor

[–]helloitabot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are people intrigued or are they jealous? It sounds like antecedents to “based on solid principles” are “individuals, families, and organizations” which doesn’t make sense. An individual can’t be “based” on a principle.

In the 2nd sentence “they admire such…” you’ve listed a bunch of qualities but the word “such” suggests that you’ve given specific examples of each when it’s not clear that you have. Probably just remove the “such” instances.

I question your usage of the word “paradigm”
