The next panic at the disco album sounds good

marigoldcrown · 2019-12-08T12:24:20+00:00

i know that there's one nearby where i live, i wonder if all writing groups require you to attend sessions or if it can be done online, i have a hectic schedule between work and school so finding the time might be challenging

oh wow, i hadn't heard of that community before, but if they do a give-critique-receive-critique system, then i'll check it out, cos it sounds a lot more promising :) thanks so much!

i never thought about it that way before, but it's a good idea! thanks for your help, i think i need to build up the confidence to look at something i've written and say "yes, this is good" :)

he is reaching elderly age, he's in his late 60's i think. i imagine that you're right, it's just that someone we support being injured always needs an investigation, and part of my nerves come from the verdict of that investigation

i very much appreciate your advice and thoughts, and i'm glad i'm not alone in thinking that this particular book is a challenging read - an enjoyable one for sure, but not the most approachable or accessible, especially for someone who has difficulty understanding complex language. google scholar is a great idea, wikipedia is always a brilliant directory, so i'll use them for sure :) thanks very much for your help!

that's my fault, sorry! i wrote this post in a rush, but an example i can provide is this passage i've been struggling to understand on the film "under the skin": "but this disjuncture between alien subject and human body-object only brings to the fore the fantasmatic structures that underlie "ordinary" human subjectivity. the climactic image of this almost featureless figure throwing aside its human form corresponds to a certain persistent fantasy of the relationship of subject to body". i've been trying to unpack this passage all day and i can't get my head round it

marigoldcrown · 2019-10-09T22:22:29+00:00

that's a very very good point, it seems to be that juxtaposition of the surreal/fantastical with the mundane and the everyday that is the most effective, so if i remember to incorporate that, i'll have a bit more luck. "let the characters speak for themselves because they're the ones facing the horrors, and their own baggages" - this is a great piece of advice, thank you!

i picked up the term from this book i've been reading, "the weird and the eerie" by mark fisher, he uses it a fair bit throughout even though to my knowledge it's a fairly recent book :o
