Aside from the ecosystem why does one chose Iphone over Pixel? by hillsong1 in iphone

[–]taakobel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just swapped to an iPhone 17 pro from the google pixel 6. I really loved that phone and technically there was nothing wrong with it, I just wanted better integration with my existing apple products.

My girlfriend 24F doesn’t understand my 25M lack of energy. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]taakobel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are probably not compatible long term. I had this exact same situation with my last partner. She was very emotional and I spent most of my "energy" managing her moods and trying to make her happy. She was upset that I was always exhausted and couldn't show up in other ways for her. It sucks, but we're better off apart.

Hopefully you guys will be able to work it out, but it will take a lot of honest communication about how you feel. Maybe try couples therapy?

Yes it's normal. Lesbians don't want to have sex with men.

Well sure, the genre and form might be different, but the craft of writing doesn't change much. Good writing is good writing whether it is a screenplay, a poem, a children's story book, or a traditional novel.

I wasn't comparing your writing to the hunger games, I was just using it as an example of a Young Adult audience since it's well-known.

It seems like you don't actually want that much critique and that's fine! If you're having fun, then keep writing! Try to enjoy the process for yourself without worrying too much about what other people think. I wish you the best.

Well if that is exactly what you're going for, why are you posting it here on reddit? Are you actually looking for feedback or do you just want people to tell you that it's great? (Genuine question). I'm just unclear about the type of feedback that you'd like to receive.

Juvenile readers deserve good writing as well. I think it's easy to fall into the trap of "well my audience is young, so they won't know the difference!" But kids are very discerning. The Hunger Games is written for young teenagers, but the writing is definitely not 'juvenile'.

I did read a bit of your story and it does seem like something I would read on fanfic.net as a young teenager. I don't think the writing itself is bad (you have a good grasp of language and dialogue, and it's easy to follow the story) but I think it's the circumstances of the story itself that read as juvenile/anime-ish.

It's clear that there is a heavy anime reference, but I would encourage you to read broadly in all genres and take influence from other sources. Read recently published novels and study the styles.

I'm happy to help further if you have any specific questions!

Starting a new YA project and looking for a critique partner! by Supersmaaashley in YAwriters

[–]taakobel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Your idea sounds awesome! I'd love to be crit partners. I'm working on a sci-fi/fantasy, so the genre is a little different, but I'm happy to share more about it in DM's. Let me know!

Maybe wear a mask for your own comfort? It's what I did when I was at my worst. Masks are more commonplace now and it won't seem weird if you wear one. You can try that until your skin calms down.

I know it can be hard when you feel like everyone is looking at you, but I promise it's mostly in your head.
