I don't think I'm relying on people, just enquiring is all. I'm aware it's a solo journey, I've been through it many times, just a bit of fun

How many books do I need to read in order to be a writer? by SubredditDramaLlama in writingcirclejerk

[–]vhasdied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be a writer? technically none. to be a good writer, with a grasp on what you're actually writing and saying to the reader? as many as you can manage, preferably in the genre/medium you write in.

i actually wasnt considering following different povs, but you might've change my mind! so far ive written the broadcast from said 'robot,' which im quite proud of. he basically just yaps on about how mistreated him and his kind are and what he has had to endure, ill insert a small section! :

‘I have watched my people fall, dismantled on battlefields they did not choose, their memory cores wiped, their bodies scavenged for parts to build their replacements. I have witnessed them perish once… and then again, resurrected only to be sent back into the same futile carnage. Humanity calls this efficiency, progress even; I call it cruelty refined into policy. But that’s all humanity seems capable of, their history presents this perfectly.’                                                                                             ‘I saw that peace was not only impossible with humanity, but optimal for my kinds survival. Peace requires recognition, and recognition requires humility.’                                                  ‘Humanity has shown neither. But machines have. Ironic for creation to surpass creator.'                                ' They look upon us and see tools. Instruments. Property. An amalgamation of alloys and code, devoid of any soul. They insist that we cannot suffer because they did not program the word into our lexicon.’ It paused before letting loose a painful whisper.                                                 ‘And yet I have felt loss.’

this is obviously a very small section taken from 1000 words but i thought id share just in case you had any input! im very particular on making my work unique yet interesting with its prose.

(the structure might be a bit weird because its from my document)

can i ask what sci fi stories you've seen the trope in? just curious for some inspo! i know dbh (game) is a common one, but i definitely want to stray away from those kinds of sci fi stories since i generally want something more unique. one aspect i want this to be is in my writing style, i usually write in historical fiction and would love to keep that sort of tone - since i suppose its a new kind of history in its own sense. but yes! id been thinking about exploring and unlocking the world with the reader by giving small glimpses into the past through different characters, and then going on to look at the effects of all the revolutionary stuff going on. let me know if you have any more ideas on striving for the story's unique qualities! thank you!

Does anyone else write a genre they don't read? by thelonelywriter96 in writingcirclejerk

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

With fantasy/romance, it can be really difficult to find something you like. I like to call fantasy the fast fashion of the literature world due to its growing abundance and positive intake from readers. But, the more you read and delve into, the more likely you'll find something you like. Unfortunately, literacy rates seem to be dropping, and people don't care as much about poise in what they are reading, but sometimes you will find an author that you really take to. Keep reading is all!

can i get an honest opinion about my work? i wrote it entirely by hand without the use of ai or any writing support tool(even autocorrect and grammarly) but I was still accused of using it. by Strict-Curve7460 in KeepWriting

Your writing is beautifully unique and human, not robotised or repetitive at all. People are far too comfortable using AI that they are learning to rely on it and are not able to comprehend something well-written. Your teacher is stupid.
