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
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... 😁
oh neat
A WRITING STICK
I mean channel
lol I like that
would anybody be interested in hosting a challenge or something during weekend? 🤔 small ones to encourage writing
That sounds lit!
