"It is so easy for me to forget how brilliant you are, especially in matters of historical perspective.
"Having your novel(s) be a fantasy, future world narrative of some historical significance strike me as inspired
"and if your readers are at least a fraction as knowledgeable as you, I think they will be enthralled."
I should not be so affected by hearing something like that from my father but ... it seriously was worth so much, gaiz
and I liked the bit I read >:
Mmm, well he was specifically responding to an essay that will be over on Summations this week
Still. That's very sweet. And not just that, I think it's true, too
My daddy said that!! /is 6
Miamia why are you awake?! (that was about essay #1 though)
/clings to Mia /sob. It's so nice to feel like people like my work even if they are mostly complimenting my essaying
8D I .... I need to figure out if/how to share a little bit of my writing with summations
do things count as published if you post them to tiny, locked communities?
It's not something that I think has really been tested, yaknow? I have older stuff (that I'm less proud of)
Basically once you're like actually published posting sample chaps gets into just basic self promotion
you stick it on your site and everyone claps b/c it's like a 'preview chapter' or a 'first book tease' or w/e
Although, tbh I've read some pretty damn shitty first chapter teases on various sites before. How do people get published?!
I ask myself that every time I see Twilight come up
I mean I can at least sorta understand that even if I don't like it. The writing is pretty derivative and all ...
but it fulfills a really specific (and very prevalent) desire for feeling so incredibly special despite your ordinariness.
It also fills what I like to call the 'princess syndrome' which is where your character basically gets her issues solved for her
it's a major 'turn on' (not nec. sexually) for women who love the idea of someone coming in and fixing their empty/boring life
I find it's especially popular with the single (who dislike their singleness) or the married who dislike their marriedness
I'd write an essay but I already wrote 5k today
I also don't understand Eragon. Well, I do. ~OMG HE WAS 15 WHEN HE WROTE IT~
that makes him so special since most 15 year olds don't even know how to write their own name!
what did you essay about?
My favorite topic! MYSELF! ... I mean writing
I also wrote a Joseph Falls summary for the new TST wiki
also 1.1k for my story ... actually I'm pretty sure I got close to 6k
but most of it was nonfiction so it doesn't count
