NOBODY GIVES A FUCK
ReplyDeleteIncredibly good writing here. You know what you are doing. Word of advice: a story doesn't tell itself - you have to plan events and chapters, before you write them. I recommend borrowing a book on how to do this, like "Plot and Structure" by James Bell, or any of a dozen similar ones.
ReplyDeleteLet me know on goo+, if you'd like me to send you one of these: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=how+to+write+plots
Hey Peter, thanks for the advise! As for the offer, no need- I'm sure I can pick something up from the library.
Deletethanks again!
Oh this is the garbage you shamelessly plugged on (https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/bj3bqy/i_dont_know_where_to_post_this_but_my_toddler/).... Turns out that post got locked by the mods, and removed. Guess they don't like douche bags spamming their page with blogshit.
ReplyDeleteYour writing is trash anyway, why the fuck are you trying to get people to read it? You want people to be unhappy? Get the fuck off of reddit. We don't want you there.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Reddit is seriously a cesspool of angry nerds isn't it? You act like I committed some atrocity for linking to my blog, but NEWSFLASH shitbird, my blog isn't monetized. I'm not getting paid to do this, it's just to honor my dad.
DeleteNewsflash? LOL I'm not even gonna tell you why that made you look dumb.
DeleteBut I will tell you this blog doesn't "honor" your dad at all. You fuckign changed his will without his consent, you kill animals even though you know he'd hate that.
Seriously, if he read this blog he'd be ashamed of it and of you.
it didn't make me look dumb fuck you
DeleteOh, sorry... Doe's your butt hurt?
Deletelisten redditard, if anyone here is butthrut its you. You came to my blog to complain, because it just rocked your worldview so much when I posted a link.
DeleteFUCK YOU
And fuckeverything you say.
Look at the time stamps! You are responding within minutes everytime I post a reply to your stupid shit mouth.
Guess what that means to the rest of us? If yo post anonymous you're not getting notifications, so that can only mean one thing: You are literally hitting refresh like it's your job. THere's the proof of who's butthurt here.
Look I'm flattered that you are hanging on my every word, but back up off my nuts, ok?
I find your writing a little forced and over described like your trying to hard , although there is something there maybe you should refrain from being so derogatory, as it can and will have a negative aspect on your writing and the feelings of people who are potentially interested in your writing. Be sure to stay professional.
ReplyDeleteI like ur writing but can you please use less swears i want to show this to friends at church and sorry for your loss
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the condolences. It won't be immediate, but if you like this book and want it without swears, I will produce a "swear-free" edited version which I'll make available for download.
DeleteDon't expect anything super fancy, I'm just gonna control F the bad words and replace them with "frick" and "heck"
I'll reply again when it's ready (won't be for a while)
