“I work on the assumption, or the fear, that the reader will stop reading if I stop being interesting.” — Clive James

Ez

So I’m going to take a guess that a sprint is just a period of time of continuous writing where you try to get as much done as possible? Genuinely asking because I’m basically fresh meat in this metaphorical butcher’s shop

Yeah pretty much

But it also is like a race

It's just for fun though

Don't feel bad, I had to ask too.

Nah, I don’t feel bad. Shouldn’t feel bad for asking about what you do not know!

I've learned to mostly ignore the sprints.

So, I finished revising the block of text that I posted earlier for the day

Spent basically all but an hour of the time since I posted it revising it in different sections. It still needs grammatical and vocabulary work done

But I feel like I at least made it less redundant and gave each section a clear purpose

But it’s honestly hard for me to tell. When I read back anything I write I’m more or less lost in the setting that I’m trying to build

People that write in all caps intrigue me

And a ping for @KirkpattieCake since they gave me initial feedback

I can't write in cursive anymore. at least, not legibly.

And I write a lot less rigid most of the time.

I couldn't to begin with lol

That is the type of writing I was taught to use when filling out journals for lab reports in High School and College. Clear and legible

Youre not apart of my generation then lol

I'm left-handed. I had my left wrist and hand damaged in an accident when I was fourteen; now I just sort of scribble with my right.

But anyways, always happy for any feedback on the content, and anything else really. Don’t be afraid to be blunt, i promise that I’m harsher with myself than others might be x3

I’m technically a millennial

Barely in the range for a 90’s kid as well

Why do you hate periods so much .

LOL I predate the internet.

Because I wanted to write a one sentence paragraph :D

Dang ok

But for me it's kinda overwhelming, esp when ur trying to introduce me to the world

lmao, that opening sentence just got longer

But really, I remember having to analyze an essay that was easily three times the length of that that was one entire sentence with nothing except semicolons commas and one period

I always found the idea interesting

If it makes you feel better this isn’t going to be the opening to a novel or anything it’s just a section that I have yet to place other than knowing it will not be the start or the end

If it comes after a scene/chapter break, this is still the placement into the scene -- and I think it does a good job, but it could be slicker.

Like if you imagine how it would be read out loud, where you'd get the emphasis/pauses/breaths

I'm down for another sprint if anyone wants to join? <:ExcitedPepe:781198443665424424>

```In spite of the afternoon sun, the markets, mainstreet, and alleys within Fort Leer sagged low, damp with the weight of the breathless, hungry, and exhausted.```

Like, that would be my editorial suggestion to slick the sentence/reading, but keep the mood, which is strong, it's still over worded imo which breaks the vibe of what sucks you in
