[Connor Bible]

Poetry has a lot it can teach any writer. It can teach you about economy, phrase-craft, flow, and all sorts of other tools that might even grant some forward momentum in your Sisyphean life.

I'm familiar with the plight of Sisyphus to get the paradox.

 

[Coster]

So, by that logic, if I'm not capable of change, then why the advice? Why bother? To you, I'm just a bum destined to be a janitor.

You know, that'd make a great idea for a novel. You should write about it.

Don't dis janitors. It's honest, paying work.

You are capable. You just lack the motivation.

THERE IS NO PARADOX. WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN.

I think connor just broke me

It's the TJ gambit. Use big words & mind-numbing logic to bewilder your opponents.

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Damn, you guys are cynical.

Am I not capable of change?

Connor, we are rapidly approaching the 350th page of your thread. If you wanted to change, you would have by now.

But even after all 300+ pages of you doing jack shit, you still had people in your corner: me, @FramerGirl420 , & @Smutley , for example. I can't speak for the others, but I've effectively given up on you.

EDIT: I take that back. I still have a tiny smidgen of hope. But I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Connor Bible]

No wait, fuck it, I'm taking this bait.

When I pointed out that you'd ripped off Silence of the Lambs, you responded with some claptrap about how no story is truly original and everything is just a collection of tropes and using tropes didn't count. It's stuck in my head for months because it was so willfully, stubbornly oblivious of the actual point, which was that you had plagiarized another work, and that you'd done it in such an obvious way that I can only assume you thought your audience was too dumb to notice.

So you tell us. What IS your definition of original?

I admit, I was watching Silence of the Lambs the days that I was writing the early chapters of the first draft. Yes, it was pretty low of me. I can still use the idea of a cultured, imprisoned serial murderer aiding a heroine, but it's what I DO WITH IT. I can still significantly change the dialogue and character interactions.

It's the TJ gambit. Use big words & mind-numbing logic to bewilder your opponents.

What I meant is that, if my life is akin to Sisyphus, any forward momentum would be futile. That's the paradox.

@Connor Bible We're not your hugbox or sympathy blanket.

Nobody here cares about your shit writing. It's never gonna get any better.

 

[*Asterisk*]

You're an attention whore, nothing more.

This'd be a great opening line for a poem. Let me try:

You're an attention whore,
Nothing more.
You're a living chore,
A cranky snore,
Someone no one could adore.

You look like you could use a shave.
You look like you forgot to bathe.
You're hand's the only place you've came.
A failure in your quest for fame.
Procrastination you will never tame.

I wish that you could see the truth.
I'd wish you'd head down to the booth
And get a job, or substitute
Someone with better skills.
Maybe then you'll finally pay some bills.

Then why, pray tell, are some people on here giving me advice?

 

[Coster]

Sisyphus' punishment was to watch the rock roll back down the hill. You're just too lazy to push it over.

 

[JU 199]

Then why, pray tell, are some people on here giving me advice?

Because you're a car crash and people wanna give ya sympathy.

We've been in this cycle for 350 pages. Why cant you see that?

 

[UnwiseKhan]

. I can still significantly change the dialogue and character interactions.

You didn't though. You lifted entire scenes and just changed the names. That's not "significant change", it's plagiarism.

 

[CatParty]

Then why, pray tell, are some people on here giving me advice?

Try short form before jumping into story telling. Do some poetry

 

[Count groudon]

Am I not capable of change?

Probably. But the real question is do you actually want to change? You can't do anything unless you have a genuine desire to do it.

So, by that logic, I'm just doomed to failure no matter what kind of effort I make. You guys say your helping me, but the fact is that you're hypocrites.

Yep. You're fucked son.

We're just being honest and you never want to listen to what anyone wants to say to you. You rate their posts disagree and forget about them the next day and have done so over and over again, so you deserve nothing.
