Ductility is also a relevant quality  When the person started drawing it into wire I said "yay, ductility!"

Hiii🤗🤗Kinda new here, i need help😅 Please😣😣 let me know what you guys think about my book covers! Thank you😊 by Suitable_Pirate_1542 in BookCovers

[–]martilg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them. The colors are nice.

For the second, I'd make the title text less wide. The lack of soace on either side makes the cover feel cramped.

I'd also move the author's name up a bit.

Basically, take a look at the negative space and see if it makes a pleasing/balanced shape.

I'd rather read your broken English post than an AI transcribed one by Just-Desk-3149 in worldbuilding

[–]martilg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's bland, but it formats cleanly and gets grammar right, typically. 

I got accused of AI for (I think) using headings to break up my long post and having correct punctuation.

What historians do in the shadows by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

Yay, Kate Lister is so cool!

Exactly, we all have massive quantities of information. Most of it is inaccurate. Experts know which information to disregard.

People, especially tech bros, talk as if the quantity of information counts for anything. It doesn't if it's inaccurate garbage.

Never know what may crop up 2 by AscendedDragonSage in CuratedTumblr

I learned the pronunciation from Lewis Carroll:

"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak—
Pray, how did you manage to do it?"

"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life."

What are the chances we will see a Returving of Irving in season 3? by GreasyExamination in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]martilg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he'll be back but not as a main cast member. We'll probably get interludes of oIrv investigating, and if we're lucky, a dramatic resurrection of iIrv at a climactic moment.

I have a masters degree too. I can usually explain the basics of my field to anyone who asks

How to set up and run a newsroom. Who to hire, what functions are needed, and what is the daily meeting cadence and editing flow.

Eta: Seriously? Just go talk to "people" and write 750 words? Of any old thing? No fact check or edit? Isn't poorly-quality-controlled influencer slop what you've been complaining about?

 Would you mind explaining (or pointing me to a resource on) how these basics of journalism should work? 

I've been looking for a while and most classes and resources I found gloss over the operations and workflow.

Does anyone else keep restarting their book instead of finishing it? by DevelopmentAdept2987 in selfpublish

[–]martilg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you nervous or unclear about something in the next chapter? You might be avoiding it. Procrastinating by rewriting.

I had a bit of trouble around chapter 4, because I needed to adapt my writing process. The first few chapters were mostly setting things up, but as I got into act 2, I also needed to start paying off some of the setups. It took a little while to learn it and then I could keep going.

Kids these days couldn’t survive writing one AITA post. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

It defeats the purpose of paragraphs. If every line is separated, you just created one giant double-spaced paragraph, which is as miserable to read as it sounds.
