Writing Hot Takes

[OtherSlater]

Give me some. I'll agree or disagree with them

I'll start: the 'word' cock in Eroica is so overused. Use DICK, damn you.

 

[NitroxDarks]

Phallus.

A large-scale calvary battle would be quite a crucifying sight.

A large-scale calvary battle would be quite a crucifying sight.

It would also be incredibly hard to make sense of writing wise.

Phallus.

Hot.

Editing is for the most part overrated
Music does not help you write
Living life helps you write
Writing too much makes you inable to write
Most writers are retards when it comes to the process of writing so they have to suffer through boom and burst cycles that permanently egg them into this poor state of writing
You should edit during writing
If you story has no themes, get out
Hero worship is the most important aspect of a work

I strongly disagree with all of these points. But with the edit during writing, one I disagree the most. And music does help with writing. It sets the mood for scenes.

No.
DEAD wrong.
Yeah.
Not really...
I guess?
Nah, reading over is better.
Yes and No.
Not in the slightest.

 

[K5Rakitan]

Penis works, too.

 

[OtherSlater]

Penis? I mean in some contexts, yeah. Pretty mid word in general

 

[Redemit]

Schlong

 

[JayDirex]

Manhood (usually preceded by throbbing)

"Show don't tell" prematurely ruined a generation of young writers

YES

"Show don't tell" prematurely ruined a generation of young writers

Facts.

the worst thing about mtf gender bender is removing the penis. seriously that is the best part and you got to ruin it.

though it's also kinda disheartening when they made it smaller and barely functional, it's much better if they actually made it bigger and more potent.

also, ppl maybe should learn from BL authors on how to make interesting titles. seriously, their titles are just something else, even tho i didn't read the story since i'm not into BL

 

[RavenRunes]

I dunno, I like cock. The word! I don't want to read about manhoods if they're throbbing, pulsating, or doing anything other than hanging there frankly. Don't like dick. It gets worse when the author starts on about 'honeyed love tunnels' and idk...can't take it seriously. It's a fine line between turning your reader on and making them spew their drink all over the page.

I think people should stop using the word 'devoid'. The room was devoid of light - dark, then, was it? The snowy landscape was devoid of warmth - nah, it's just cold. The cupboard was devoid of food = EMPTY!! FFS STOP IT!!!!

Noy really, just make a futa plot or make them trans at that point.
It sounds like you just want a BL.
Sureeeeee buddy...

Bold of you to assume that there aren't two massive pulsating DICKS I'm writing about.
Sure, dope word.

People seem to mistake writing simplistically as don't write large paragraphs. I cannot tell you the amount of times on RR when people said my paragraphs were too long and I need to write more simplistic, when most of the sentences I wrote barely went into any description. Taking that advice ends up with authors writing two sentence paragraphs that has the writing style of The Road. The simple, almost childlike writing style worked for that book, but it shouldn't be the standard.
