That's the final paragraph

2018-12-10 13:58:03 UTC  

so you have the whole thing more or less

2018-12-10 13:58:35 UTC  

Thanks for the feedback, I'll give the opening another shot

2018-12-10 13:58:51 UTC  

And thanks @Indigo for the ideas

2018-12-10 13:59:31 UTC  

Now basically, hopefully, I'll have someone take issue with something in the middle in the next while or at the next revision

2018-12-10 13:59:31 UTC  

Just make the opening flow, mate. It has to sound natural. Don't make it sound like a study itself cause it's not

2018-12-10 13:59:58 UTC  

Being too factual will turn people away

2018-12-10 14:00:31 UTC  

If you can't say it out loud, don't write it

2018-12-10 14:01:28 UTC  

That's a rather unorthodox way of explaining what I mean and I hope it makes sense

2018-12-10 14:02:47 UTC  

It's so understated that the style of writing is something that matters most... No one will pay attention if they back out after the first few words

2018-12-10 14:02:53 UTC  

It's so important.

2018-12-10 14:05:44 UTC  

You know, men tend to be more concise with this. Give better studies etc. Instead though it's more persuasive to write more personably

2018-12-10 14:05:54 UTC  

yeah, haha

2018-12-10 14:06:07 UTC  

well, I mean I don't know about the generalization, but yeah

2018-12-10 14:06:09 UTC  

You'd benefit from going to a persuasive writing course

2018-12-10 14:06:40 UTC  

Oh I have no interest in that

2018-12-10 14:06:56 UTC  

My pursuasive writing is mostly for the sole benefit of randos on internet forums

2018-12-10 14:09:13 UTC  

Sorry, definitely not trying to be critical as such! I remember I said I respected those who pursued English as a career, perhaps that's only cause I've done so lol

2018-12-10 14:09:24 UTC  

stop worrying about my feelings damnit

2018-12-10 14:09:33 UTC  

Never

2018-12-10 14:09:48 UTC  

Just cause you're a man doesnt mean they're not worthwhile

2018-12-10 14:11:12 UTC  

O-okay, I mean, stop fussing haha, better?

2018-12-10 14:11:37 UTC  

I'm imaging blushes on your cheeks in an anime fashion. So maybe xD

2018-12-10 14:11:56 UTC  

Watching men care about men makes me all warm inside.

2018-12-10 14:12:12 UTC  

Yaoi time? Lmao

2018-12-10 14:12:52 UTC  

😉

2018-12-10 14:12:54 UTC  

Sepuku? Sudoku? Yahtzeee!!!

2018-12-10 14:13:06 UTC  

Oh good Lord xD

2018-12-10 14:13:49 UTC  

Those seem to be...very different things

2018-12-10 14:14:01 UTC  

They are!!!!

2018-12-10 14:14:28 UTC  

I'm not even sure yahtzee is Japanese

2018-12-10 14:15:13 UTC  

Noooo.... Sepuku is spilling your own intestines... Sudoku is a game...

2018-12-10 14:15:15 UTC  

@asparkofpyrokravte the only things, you ought do is do something about the beginning and "if you'll allow me, and of course you will" part

2018-12-10 14:15:18 UTC  

Not bloody yahtzee

2018-12-10 14:15:42 UTC  

haha, I remember thinking that was a little corney

2018-12-10 14:16:10 UTC  

but it felt stuffy ivory tower the other way

2018-12-10 14:17:31 UTC  

You wanna know what I find a *really* helpful tactic

2018-12-10 14:17:48 UTC  

Write as if you're talking to a younger brother or sister

2018-12-10 14:17:59 UTC  

Kind yet honest

2018-12-10 14:18:36 UTC  

If you go overboard it sounds condescending. But watch that

2018-12-10 14:20:58 UTC  

thanks
