This is one really long example of Boy Math

#Reddit #Aita #NTA #The guy just wanted her to by a more expansive cooler car so he could burrow it #Maybe if he didn't spend $900 a month on his car he could get better quality jeans #Quality vs Quantity #Hope she dumps him #If not budgeting household expenses stuff related to kids etc will be a nightmare #The guy sulked and gave her the silent treatment instead of just admitting that he could be spending his money better

Sometimes I miss the old fanfic sites, where works had to be edited and had to be at least decent in order to be accepted. And when the discussions below thosw stories were worthy and constructive. I was a teenager the first time I read and then published my first stories and I can say I benefited from those sites and those wonderful people willing to discuss what was good, what was off and what I could correct. Less content perhaps, but much less digging through tons of shit in order to find something readable. And first of all, people did not get offfendwd if you told them they needed a beta reader or sth.

Quality Vs. Quantity (not actually recommending one over the other).

"just because what china is doing with BRI is better than colonialism doesn't mean it's not a form of colonialism"

"just because free ice cream and puppy dogs dancing through meadows is better than burning in fire for 513 years doesn't mean free ice cream and puppy dogs dancing through meadows aren't a form of burning in fire for 513 years"

#if you make a claim without bounding the range of the clauses then youre not rly saying much #i see this sorta logic all the time #like. either your metric of 'better' is unbounded & so broad so as to be analytically useless #or theres a qualitative gap youre not accounting for where you do have a bound & something can be of a different 'kind' #but then you have to establish that the object is of that kind in the first place which just gets you back to square 1! #you have to establish that falls in the range of 'better but not qualitatively different' #which assumedly is what the argument is over in the first place right #this is what happens when you extinguish popular analysis of colonialism of any economic analytic & just turn it to 'bad people' #plus what happens when you dont have a concept of superprofits & how to maintain them vs how to maintain profits #or how quantity becomes quality (at critical points of intensity) #but if you just want a thought terminating cliche you can just say #'at a certain point yes it does lol'

Very controversial writing opinion, but sometimes, when your feel your writing is bad, it’s because it is bad. 

I’m so tired of seeing writing advice that tells you to just keep pushing through whenever you feel that your writing is bad, or that it only appears bad to you because you’re the one who wrote it, or whatever, because a lot of the time, the solution is not to just keep plowing your way through but to take a step back and figure out why it’s bad. 

Subconsciously, you know something is off, which is why you can’t shake the feeling that the writing is bad, but (especially when you are first starting out) you can’t articulate why it’s off. Figuring out how to do so is an important skill, because how can you get better without being able to identify what’s wrong?

Don’t just keep writing despite it feeling bad; figure out why it’s bad, correct it, and improve. Storytelling is a skill that doesn’t come by forcing your way to the end but through deliberate practice, and you cannot get better at this skill without being mindful of what you are doing. 

I know this sort of writing advice is given to people so they don’t give up writing entirely, which I do agree with! But just saying “just keep writing” isn’t actually useful to improving it, and I’m tired of only seeing that advice without any instructions for how to make it better. 

#writing #writing advice #not to take a giant bat to a hornets nest or anything #but I am so fucking tired of this sort of advice without providing actual advice to those starting out #this post has been brought to you by that pot quality vs quantity post that is like...yes? this is sort of accurate? But there's more nuance

Day 3 - favorite character

guess.

#kingdom hearts #zexion #KHTober 2023 #KHTober2023 #i do actually like the zexion era of ienzo the best out of the three distinct phases of his life #because. to be honest. i love amoral bastard characters with something extremely wrong with them. #almost every time i end up liking a character who gets a redemption arc i get nostalgic for how they were before that redemption arc #that isnt to say i dont love ienzo (baby) or ienzo (adult) though! zexion is just the most fun to me #also the answer to how many days can i stay ahead was apparently 2. yesterday was busy #here we get into a question of quantity vs quality #should I skip more days and spend more time on making the ones I do look good? #or should I try to get in as many as possible? #I think I might stick with the second because my problem is that I can't get myself to draw At All usually #and i didnt feel like doing any more with this #me art #me post

El's last act before leaving was to be petty as fuck. If it was nice, she would have left her brothers goodbye notes too.

And I respect her for that.

The WIP project - quantity vs quality

Hello writerly friends!

Today, let's talk about productivity, especially about quantity versus quality. Michelle Schusterman had a great post about this in her substack newsletter:  https://michelleschusterman.substack.com/p/on-daily-word-count-goals-and-toxic

If you want to be good at the thing, you have to practice the thing. You have to smear the paint on the canvas. You have to pick up the instrument and honk. You have to accept that your art, your music, your photos, your writing, is not going to be good in the beginning.

Because quantity, especially in the beginning, is just practice. That's why it really bothers me that we have a versus thing set up here when it comes to writing and word count goals. Is it better to get a ton of words, or focus on the quality of those words?

Quality versus quantity—but they aren’t rivals. Because the reality is we need both. We need quality, obviously, we want our writing to be good, quality is the end goal. But we also need quantity because novels are made up of a quantifiable number of words.

This aligns with the common advice to "write every day, write as much as you can". And I think this advice is valid, even though most people who have lives and jobs can't write every day. As Michelle says, "a lot of words" is a relative expression. A lot of words are not the same for every writer.

There's also the expression "the first one million words are just for practice". More writing is always better, even if some sections are not as good as others. It doesn't matter. If you're worried about quality, tell yourself "it's just for practice", because that's just what it is. Just practice.

Write more words!

Finally decided on an ending for the Ghost Hunting arc. Still have to write it, but finally picked a lane.

I would apologize, but I would be lying and that's frowned upon.
