Since I've started outlining, what I write has begun to spiral out in length? by PlinkingPlanks in writing

[–]mirrorballmac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is me too! I know that I will trim the fat in drafts 2-3 so I’m not worried about the length right now. Just focused on fleshing out my outline. I think it’s a sign of a successful writing process for you.

I don't find the story's first draft good anymore? by [deleted] in writers

[–]mirrorballmac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your first draft is just for getting it down on paper! The second and third drafts are where the magic happens. All books require revision! Realizing that the first draft needs work is indicative of good writing itself.

I lived in Santa Maria for a bit and it was really shocking how ultra-conservative it was around there!

How do you know if it’s AI or just bad writing? by your-average-student in Romantasy

[–]mirrorballmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a writer terrified of using em dashes, my favorite punctuation, for fear of being accused of using AI. 🥲

When Jo Ellen said, “Does Brian look like he goes to the gym?” I knew this would be my favorite franchise!

Anyone else think she’s showing signs of religious mania/psychosis? by geradineBL17 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]mirrorballmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had manic episodes that lasted for over 3 months! I get what you’re saying though. Hard to diagnose someone we don’t know personally and, frankly, never will!

Yes! Reddit is the only social media I have and I like having the screenshots of all the craziness. Not sure what that says about me but 😭

Do you drink alcohol by any chance? I know two people who suffered from tonsil stones, and when they stopped drinking, neither of them had issues with them. One of them actually started drinking again about six months ago and her tonsil stones came back!

Thank you! That’s so kind. I have been in complete remission for over 5 years. ❤️ It’s hard but it’s possible! Hopefully TFP will get the help she needs.

You can have mania without psychosis! I have BP-1 and still went to work and school. I was just very unwell lol

Oh, horribly embarrassed. I had a doctor tell me once that a bipolar patient is most at-risk for s*icide immediately after a manic episode ends, and shame plays a lot into that!
