I was a shock value writer and I regret it

wasn't necessarily explicit as my peers who *definitely* didn't understand it but still was searching for intense reactions about things I didn't understand or research

that's actually pretty lit

I'd watch it

I see what you mean, and im glad I didn't go down that rode

thanks

yeah, don't xD

your writing will not only suffer because you rely on dark cliches but it will also be offensive to some

I was only called out a couple times thankfully

my work wasn't read by many

and remember, no one in the bible was perfect, except for God and Jesus ofcource

oh, 100% lol

just for me, my fear is I don't want to get distracted by my own story, misleading myself and my readers

that happens a lot too. I'm no expert (heck, I'm a beginning level writer) but have you ever gotten lost in details?

like out of the blue you just worldbuild like crazy

I bet I have

I'll go months without having written anything and then *boom*
"The plague starts with coughing up blood. Then the boils begin. It's an airborne disease and is basically the Black Death with boils."

(that's the least nasty bit)

I'm writing it for a dark (haha, said I wouldn't do that anymore but here we are) take on Cinderella

(the sisters aren't ugly, they're sick)

but yeah, I'll just suddenly write about all this stuff about carriages and towns and the people in it and then I'll write a bunch of dialogue

I’m not too confident about what I’m saying but wasn’t Edgar Allen Poe a religious man who also wrote seemingly random stories that somehow manages to include the topic of faith. It might be interesting to look at if what I’m saying is accurate but I’m not confident at all

that's actually really fascinating if its true

ok so it turns out he was sort of Christian

but not really since he rejected the Bible's teachings

Ah ok

can't pick and chose what you believe when it comes to the word of God

Exactly

Boiiii we have a writer's meet up bloc 🎊

yea we do, I am thrilled. By the way, I like your username, very hummorous😁

Thank you! Made me happy that it beings a smile to your face!

I probably shouldn't say this (I'm waaaaaay to trusting) but I was using my real name as a username, my Mom didn't like it so she came up with a username for me and I love it, it fits me lol

when was the logging boom?

Late 1800s, early 1900s

awiesome, my favorite time period

Lmao. It works! Welcome here, Sam 😆

Thanks

That username was actually a bit of an accident. I love british trains and so my name is supose to be Sam-B-Shunter, but without the spaces, it looks like something else! 🤣

Ooo

AHA I just noticed that!

It still fits me tho... 😁
