RE: El arte de contar (Esp-Eng) The art of counting
I agree for the biggest part. Spelling everything out leaves nothing left for the reader to build a picture about and it doesn't make a story any better, none does the repeating of the same sentence over and over again. I tried to teach that with #wewrite 5 months ago (title, flashy start, hashtags included) only a few (not even 5) were able to change the habit of ...
We'll give it a new try but if we are in and if they will join is questionable. Many did 5 months ago because they thought it would be an easy win but writing is art and skills can be improved. Let's see what will happen, soon or not...
What I don't disagree with is to leave everything out of a story because people have no longer the time to read and we live in a "busy" world. I miss those days where books pulled you into a different world and I felt moody if I was called and couldn't read. Reading was addictive, I wanted to finish the story as soon as possible, the modern writers/books don't have that magic.
Once upon a time? It sounds strange in English but I like it for a real fairy tale and will keep using is unless I can come up with something else. There's nothing wrong with the old, real fairy tales who came with a message and often ended gruwelsome (not Disney made up happy princess endings).
So... what do you think about all those titles starting with: The Diarygame....
P.s. I believe @rokhani is offline again and it's ramadan (soon) or but we can keep tagging him so he knows we miss him.
Believe @almaguer is out let me answer the diary titles boring a total lack of brain, more likely following what was once suggested and taking it for a rule. Happens if you are forced to write in the hope to make an income or the hope to be someone. The biggest jobless loser can be online at the top which is hopeful and will effect offline life for them. I read a post + thread how sc01 sent messages to diary writers, auto- bot ones or? Might be a good idea to start again and say the support is over. Would love to see what will happen next.
Never wrote one, don't see any point in writing: hey guys I woke up early again got out of bed brushed my teeth and took a shower. What a waste of time and life and after years those diary writers still don't know how to write something better more interesting. The title is proof.
