yeah, don't xD

2021-01-04 03:39:49 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 03:40:00 UTC  

I was only called out a couple times thankfully

2021-01-04 03:40:17 UTC  

my work wasn't read by many

2021-01-04 03:40:44 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 03:41:42 UTC  

oh, 100% lol

2021-01-04 03:42:38 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 03:43:10 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 03:43:17 UTC  

like out of the blue you just worldbuild like crazy

2021-01-04 03:43:21 UTC  

I bet I have

2021-01-04 03:44:08 UTC  

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."

2021-01-04 03:44:25 UTC  

(that's the least nasty bit)

2021-01-04 03:44:40 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 03:47:51 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 03:48:49 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 04:56:01 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 04:56:28 UTC  

that's actually really fascinating if its true

2021-01-04 05:17:01 UTC  

ok so it turns out he was sort of Christian

2021-01-04 05:17:55 UTC  

but not really since he rejected the Bible's teachings

2021-01-04 06:06:26 UTC  

Ah ok

2021-01-04 14:27:57 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 15:28:49 UTC  

Exactly

2021-01-04 16:19:17 UTC  

Boiiii we have a writer's meet up bloc 🎊

2021-01-04 17:04:56 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 17:08:40 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 17:10:08 UTC  

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

2021-01-04 17:13:48 UTC  

when was the logging boom?

2021-01-04 17:14:07 UTC  

Late 1800s, early 1900s

2021-01-04 17:14:36 UTC  

awiesome, my favorite time period

2021-01-04 17:24:43 UTC  

Lmao. It works! Welcome here, Sam 😆

2021-01-04 17:35:04 UTC  

Thanks

2021-01-04 17:54:55 UTC  

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! 🤣

2021-01-04 18:16:45 UTC  

Ooo

2021-01-04 18:16:59 UTC  

AHA I just noticed that!

2021-01-04 18:27:38 UTC  

It still fits me tho... 😁

2021-01-04 21:12:53 UTC  

oh neat

2021-01-04 21:12:56 UTC  

A WRITING STICK

2021-01-04 21:12:58 UTC  

I mean channel

2021-01-04 21:30:06 UTC  

lol I like that

2021-01-05 00:27:14 UTC  

would anybody be interested in hosting a challenge or something during weekend? 🤔 small ones to encourage writing

2021-01-05 00:29:46 UTC  

That sounds lit!
