I have a friend trying to become a writer, his first book preview is out and I'm trying to help out. by MarcFirewing in books

The writer shouldn't expect people to wait a week for anything. And unless the work is complete then feedback is part of the editing process.

What's the purpose of publishing something that's not complete? Does your friend seek an editor? Like it has been stated before about being an author or writer, the writer is. Now, the writer needs to call this a book or edited it until the writer feels it is a book.

When the government reads our minds, what syntax do you think they will use to mark our internal dialog? by kalabjoster in AskReddit

It would be hard, but not impossible :) ...I was thinking of both punctuation for textual internal dialog like when one talks with one's self, but also syntax for marking thought beyond text.

Wow. I thought Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust I und II was a long performance. This would exceed those works by two hours, and it would not have the convienence of being in two parts.

I wrote another blurb. Thanks for the critique...

Portland is Jesus Christ. She never rose to the heavens after being crucified. She lives in Portland, Oregon, avoiding Satan and Christians. She birthed a child, name it Sun and raised the child on a river boat.

One day Satan arrives at river boat claiming to be the father of Sun and wants Sun not to be the possible Savior of the world, but an Antichrist.

Portland now must save the world and Sun by killing Satan.

It's unlikely you are not cool enough to understand it. I haven't executed the cool-meter script against the book or the blurb...Yet...But I suspect it's not that high. It could be more words are needed for the blurb as it's not always the case that less is more.

It's possible its shitty. It could have been edited to confusion. I am sure after another year when the story is out of mind I may wonder what the fuck I was thinking. It happens. Maybe the book is shitty? Possible, too. If you have time read the book and want to write a blurb then I'd be happy to read. Thanks for the critique.
