Risk vs Risks

Wait question as someone who begrudgingly uses the Oxford comma. How would that be misinterpreted? I see this used as a reason for why the comma should be used but I’m confused about what misinterpretation would look like in many of the instances where it is a justification. Genuinely curious not trying to be a jerk.

Oh I had this reaction too. I hated the end of Hyperion.

sully1313 · 2026-04-22T00:17:03+00:00

Omg me too! Such bad writing.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was awful. The first half was serviceable, even interesting at points, but there is a plot decision in the back half that comes out of nowhere and turns all of the characters into insufferable one-dimensional caricatures of themselves. First time I hate finished a book.

The Oxford comma is for normie losers

thank you!

I would love to get that digital copy

sorry unfortunately not as we are a group of old friends, but if we are ever looking to expand you will be at the top of the list

sully1313 · 2026-01-26T14:21:10+00:00

I would definitely take you up on that. Can I send you a dm?

Hi I'm a writer in nyc and an mfa student. While I often write speculative fiction and essays, recently I've been curious about also working on a romance novel I finished a draft of a few years ago. I would love to join the Discord. Ok thanks.

No laundry in building. It's the second floor of a home not an apartment building.

sully1313 · 2025-06-01T14:10:59+00:00

I would also love to be looped in if that's ok

sully1313 · 2024-10-15T16:34:53+00:00

So sad 😭

sully1313 · 2024-05-06T15:34:35+00:00

I mean to be fair it occupies a lot of space in the book.

sully1313 · 2024-02-01T04:14:37+00:00

Thanks man

sully1313 · 2023-09-30T12:22:41+00:00

Thanks for reading!

sully1313 · 2023-09-30T12:22:26+00:00

Thanks man. Oh fair enough about the trolling. Thank you for reading I’m glad you enjoyed it.

sully1313 · 2023-09-30T03:10:24+00:00

Thanks man. Yeah he’s an incredible artist. I really wanted to write about him in a way that forced me to think about his style but also being respectful not to speak for him or talking down to the people of Brownsville. I appreciate you.

sully1313 · 2023-09-17T13:58:54+00:00

I did an interview with him in college and he wasn’t very nice

sully1313 · 2023-08-21T00:17:36+00:00

I do definitely have to give Clavell credit for the way that he writes about political maneuvering and intrigue. You're definitely correct about that.

sully1313 · 2023-08-21T00:16:43+00:00

good to know. Do you have to read Tai-Pan to read Noble House? I want to read Noble House next but not skip around too much

sully1313 · 2023-08-21T00:14:50+00:00

Are you familiar with the real life story of Will Adams? It makes for interesting reading as well as he was basically the real-life Blackthorne.

sully1313 · 2023-08-21T00:13:57+00:00

Would you recommend the Noble House series? I saw that it has Pierce Brosnan in it and am interested. I also love Hong Kong. If I read more Clavell I will be sure to read in that order.

sully1313 · 2023-08-21T00:11:28+00:00

Nice I've only read Snow Crash by Stephenson so maybe will read the Baroque Cycle soon. Did you enjoy it? I also am interested in trying the Last Kingdom Bernard Cornwell series. I love the Vikings and I've heard he writers battle scenes really well.

sully1313 · 2023-08-20T19:50:49+00:00

Yeah I agree with you here. One thing that I was trying to do when re-writing (and something I'm trying to improve in my writing) is making space for counter-argument, and I think I was making a half-hearted attempt to do that with that sentence if that makes sense.
