There was already >>24851315. This thread will only encourage the jannies to mass-delete all the /wg/-related threads. Smooth move, Ex-Lax.

>>24853127
that's the idea

>>24853127
That's only for literary writers. This thread is for writing in general.

WE ARE GOING TO WAGMI

Taking the first steps to independently produce my novella as an audiobook. Already found a local non-profit with a free recording studio. The next step is to find a narrator. Any tips? Backstage.com is the obvious choice but maybe you know of other options.

That's what I'd do if I didn't have an ounce of creative ingenuity.

Fuck off, homo.

Hardest thing about aphantasia is writing for normal readers means sections of text that, in your own reading, you would have skipped over out of boredom. But if you leave it out, they miss it and complain.

>>24854187
Try writing screenplays instead. Descriptions are supposed to be sparse and to-the-point in screenplays.

I blame the /wolw/ fag. It's all his fault, he caused this.

Well, that's nice I guess.

Both touching and hugely inconvenient.

I'm not sure why there can't just be one writing thread. Writing is writing. It doesn't matter what genre it is, all that matters is words on the page.

Is it true that you can longer say "man the station" or "man the griill" and stuff like that?

>>24854431
And that lack of discernment is why you're posting on /wg/ and not /wolw/

>>24854451
Maybe we all should start posting on /wolw/ then...

>>24854434
What? No, that's not true. Will faggots and trannies and feminists and marxists seethe about your "gendered language"? Yeah, probably, they seethe about almost everything. Should you care? No. Should you let them control you? No. Should you let them be the arbiters of what's fair and right and acceptable for everyone? Absolutely not.

>>24854431
The dogs of /wng/ cannot be coexisted with. They are lower than pigs, lower than rats. Hanging would be too good for them. Burning would be too good for them. They should be locked in pressurized steam chambers and cooked at 150 degrees for two hours like Sean Doyle, until their meat falls in strings like pulled pork from their disgusting bones. Then they should be loaded into big medieval trebuches, and flung at a giant target painted on the side of a mountain, which should then be reduced down into rubble with artillery fire from giant 500mm cannons, and that rubble should then be ground into gravel, which should be mixed with asphalt and used to pave the parking lot for a book store that sells actual novels, as distinct from web-novels.

>>24854471
If the janny gets his way, you won't have a choice.

>>24854461
It's true though. Even missions to space are no longer manned missions but "crewed missions" so you can't say "man" anything anymore. "Man your station" will get you an automatic "into the trashcan" by an agent. The correct phrase is now "Person your station" or "Person the grill."

>replying to mentally ill schizo targettng any and all discussions with AI generated posts to the likes of Gong Farmer for days on end
This is manufactured drama. The obsessed faglord is doing more harm to /wg/ than anyone could while claiming to be "one of us". May god have mercy on this board.

>>24854471
You're trying too hard. /wg/ wasn't even about actual books

What do you call the big ball that comes rolling down to crush Indiana Jones? Is there a word for that besides bowling ball? Because Indy isn't exactly a bowling pin.

>>24854525
There's no word for that in English. It's called a "huge spherical rock" in the script.

>>24854525
Boulder

>>24854531
What does that character from The Last Airbender have to do with anything? By the way, it's *The* Boulder.

My favorite character name is A Pimp Named Slickback

>>24854531
the thing is a boulder is never a perfect sphere. it's a natural rock so it doesn't quite capture it either

>>24854530
>"huge spherical rock" in the script.
that works fine in a script but imagine writing that in a story. "the huge spherical rock was unleashed and..."

>>24854544
The trap builders put it there in a trap that it fits perfectly into. It's not natural.
Also there are very spherical boulders occurring naturally in some places.

I was just trolling but I looked it up for real and the script does in fact use that word.

>>24854471
i bet this is the guy who was just two days ago begging to be nice to each other
it's why i wasn't nice back. i've seen this type of fag before. fake and weak willed, no principles, offers an olive branch only when it might help him and immediately upon rejection will have a meltie impressive even by 4chan standards
in short: get a life, subhuman boomer unc

I feel like I'm genuinely too retarded to make a proper plot. Everyone is so clever with setups and punchlines, twists, touching moments, words of wisdom, and great themes.

I have, at best, scattered pockets of singular scenes I think "sound cool" and no way to string it together.

Am I cooked?

>run my text through chatgpt

I'm such a shit writer.

>>24854607
At least you're not feeding your work to an LLM. Oh wait

>>24854629
It's okay to embrace the future. Besides the US courts deemed it fine and legal to steal work from others.

AI also skews heavily towards YA fantasy and uses a lot of phrases from it.

ream me the fuck out with criticism on these comedy focused chapters

Seems like you're pouring all your creativity into your ungrammatically style and not coming up with interesting and funny scenes.

>>24854693
well i mean both of those points are literally where the pieces get increasingly interesting lol
if u cant read past that then maybe i gotta do something about the beginnings?

>>24854704
>my story doesn't get interesting until this far into it
>but I'm still gonna keep the parts that aren't worth reading because lol i dunno
The editor in me will never understand this mentality

>>24854719
it takes under a minute to reach those points in the writing. and they are literally setting the context.

>>24854725
if u think im coping then w/e i can look at the leadup to those points

>>24854727
You're definitely coping and your defensiveness tells me you have no intention of improving so I'll stop here.

This is some screenplay? I don't read that crap

The ad's up and the free promo is on. Will report results. If you're curious to see, I'm pretty sure the ad only shows up on mobile.

Not sure what board to ask this so might as well here. Any good training regiments for voice-acting, diction etc. I'd like to try my hand at narration.

GOOGLE MOTHERFUCKER

Writing the first two chapters went well, but chapter three is a flaming shit pile

>>24854829
This is definitely not the place to ask.
