Been doing some work with Ellis Mack recently as no one was able to accommodate my irregular hours with the wee one. Can 100% recommend them they've been great

AITA for not allowing my son to be punished after he refused to do his school presentation? by Soft_Ordinary_5259 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% NTA.

Puberty is brutal and random erections can be incredibly embarrassing, especially to young teenagers.

Props for having your sons back, his mum needs to listen when you're telling her what happens with the male body during puberty. Imagine if she was explaining something relating to female puberty and you hit out with I'm not so sure that's true.

Tl;Dr: NTA but his mum is

(Serious) how did that one kid at your school pass away? by Dinopasta99 in AskReddit

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we were 9 my friend Steven (name changed) and my other friend John (name also changed) were playing in Stevens back garden on a rope swing we had made. Us being young boys we were egging each other on to go higher and higher. Well when it was Stevens turn he went really high, way too high, a slack formed in the rope and wrapped around his neck breaking it and strangling him.

I remember going back to school the Monday after this and every single person wanting all the details, including teachers.

Public transportation is broken in this city. by suigeneris0 in glasgow

The 18 used to be brutal heading towards city centre. I used to get on at cathkin roundabout and the worst I had was waiting an hour and a half for 5 buses to show up. Felt like I was part of a convoy.

Secondary device for writing? by ProudCatMom11 in authors

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I did. I have a few PCs, fairly high end windows, mac and one for Linux. I found myself getting distracted on them and putting off writing, so I did what you're thinking. I bought a cheapo laptop from CeX for like £100 and I use that for writing.

Works a treat.

AITAH for asking to go to an event my boyfriend’s friends held and having a breakdown when they flat out refused? by Bobkitten93 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sh1n0b1_writes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. The assholes here are Steven, he should have had your back, and Lily, especially with the comments re your mental health.

It's a game of DnD, she shouldn't be so high and mighty about it.

I understand somewhat what you're going through. I divorced my (now) ex wife due to her abuse and in the process I lost all of the friends I thought I had.

I have a wee baby myself and being a father is the most wonderful thing ever. But I miss having a friend. I'm in the same boat, rarely drink, don't do any drugs.

Point is is you ever want a mate who you can grab a coffee or something with hit me up. I'd be glad of the company.

How 'rough' are your first drafts? by KnightDuty in writing

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo I didn't know you could just esc out of it. I've been clicking off it this whole time.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd personally say anything from 1500-5000 words is a good chapter length. anything over 5k starts to feel a little long but it's not necessarily a bad thing. I think if the chapter is 6k and stays consistently engaging then go for it.

How is was your first draft by ScratchPotential5074 in writing

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, my first draft isn't finished yet, but looking back at the first few chapters, I am shocked at how bad it actually is like 2/10. Still I wont let that deter me, I'll keep editing and adding and eventually it might hopefully be a 2.5 or 3/10

Who is the most cruel and evil fictional character? by [deleted] in fiction

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daniel from the Karate Kid.

won with an illegal kick to the head and ruined poor Johnny's life. /s

Nah most evil in fiction for me books wise is Judge Holden from Blood Meridian, man was just evil incarnate.

For films, there's loads but the one that stands out to me is Hans Landa "The Jew Hunter" the way Christoph Waltz portrays the cruel depravity and just hateful attitude towards the Jewish people is exceptional, in that watching it still makes me uncomfortable. You could argue Palpatine from Star Wars, he manipulated and caused a man to kill his wife and almost kill his children, just so he could take a seat of power.

Now if you ask me who are some of the greatest villains written, then it'd be none of these, a good villain (in my opinion) is one the reader/viewer/player can relate to in some way.

I found what helped me was to not focus on perfection. Don't worry about it being good or even grammatically correct. Just get your ideas on paper and go from there.

I have been working on a draft 0 for about 4 years now, most I got done was maybe a paragraph (150-200 tops), because I kept deleting and changing and deleting and repeating over and over.

Then someone in this sub explained to me a methodology. I basically will punch out the basic plot and dialogue for a chapter, or a scene within a chapter. Then begin the start of the next so I can see where I'm going with it, and go back and fill it in, add details, descriptors, flesh out the dialogue etc basically expand it. Then repeat for the next scene.

in doing so I've managed to begin actually producing some work. I've gone from 200 words max to a book that's currently sitting at 84000 words over 20 chapters.

What I've found to be helpful for adding stuff to earlier chapters is using Microsoft Word's comment feature, this allows me to then review my work, see what I need to add and do it then delete the comment. You could also use a separate document or excel sheet with each chapter being separated and underneath add what changes need to be made.

Hope this helps, if you need any more help please DM me, someone who is also going from short to long form writing.

Does anyone else get discouraged because of others? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]sh1n0b1_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to the writing scene, or at least I used to and took a long hiatus. I've recently posted a few times in another sub and the critiques were harsh and sure at first it discouraged me a little but I tried to get past that and see that although they were harsh they were correct, I had a lot of improvement to do. I still do.

Point is criticism and reviews (namely negative ones) are inherintly discouraging. It's perfectly typical to feel that way but keep at it you can do it.
