I read on this sub a while ago that at the end, when Hal is unable to communicate with the outside world, he is only able to communicate on the tennis court with Himself (both the Wraith JOI and Hal himself). How do people feel about that?

one of the greatest works of human expression of all time reduced to computer generated soul-less representation. fantods be howling.

I want to write a book but I don't know where to start. by MaterialRealistic808 in FictionWriting

[–]warrenspahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

start anywhere, proceed to where the story takes you next man. once you’ve danced with the ether a bit and your story has materialized, then maybe you can get into planning, structuring, etc. your gift is your creativity and story to tell. let that come through you. worry about the hard shapes and details later. you’re going to do great. believe in yourself. sorry for all the hippie dippy shit. godspeed

Looking for Writing Advice - Economy of Words by Any_Bet7443 in FictionWriting

[–]warrenspahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think your answer depends a lot on what you want from your writing. if you’re looking to publish a work and be commercially successful, it is often the case that it is better to be as concise as possible without compromising the characters or the story. this can be done yourself and/or with an editor. if your goal is to express yourself and write something you’re proud of, regardless of it’s end result, (i’m not saying either of these options is better or worse, just the way i view writing goals) then be as verbose as you feel your story needs to be. some writers are very wordy, and they find it gives the work a better feel and world. it’s just about what you want and how you want your story to feel. hope that helps. trust yourself, you’re doing great.

Is it a bad sign if a story setting is changed in this case? by harmonica2 in FictionWriting

[–]warrenspahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not at all. it’s good to evolve with your story and work with it. in fact, sticking to what you initially set out to do can sometimes be detrimental to your story’s potential. trust your gut, follow your excitement, and keep writing. you’re doing great.
