Are they bots or desperate artists?

When you write a lot you forget what you write. So when I'm blocked or doubting my own skill I reread something. I'm regularly surprised and delighted with what I write. I really surprise myself and often laugh aloud, then again, I enjoy my own humor.

A Sailor fountain pen recently.

Me thinks he doth protest too much. Good day, Mr. Six-Accounts. :s_wink:

I'm sorry you feel you have more to grieve about, and that my mild complaint in a one-off line in a make-your-unpopular-opinion-and-move-on thread insults you so deeply. Just because you feel yourself, or some other group has more to complain about than me, makes my complaint in any way invalid...

Indeed. But in order to stay true to myself and my art, I refuse to further political and other aims that I don't believe in by putting them in my stories that would promote those things. In the light of the clear DEI entitative and my lack of pushing for "progressive values" in my writing...

It doesn't matter what I was on Royal Road. Your job is not to moderate Royale Road. Also, that thread is not the thread here. My thread was anonymous. My complaint was anonymous, the names were anonymous and the thread was anonymous. Had that user not chased me over here, this would have...

For the hater who chased me here, and his little mod pal, assuming they aren't actually the same person, I will repost what I wrote and help you with your reading comprehension: This is what I wrote: “I can't get trad published no matter what. My skin color and gender are 'wrong'! That's...

For authors whose work: Avoids or excludes LGBTQ themes, Is openly critical of socialism, communism, or feminism, And is otherwise ideologically antithetical to contemporary progressive trends, …then in 2025, the traditional publishing industry is heavily stacked against them, especially in...

Ah, I see what's going on here.

I don't know how many accounts you have, but you've proven to be a creepy stalker hiding behind a bunch of masks so you can run around harassing people. I didn't mention names or the conversation. I felt like griping, and apparently some other folks over here have similar experiences. So again...

And this, Ziggy definitely counts as harassment. Now, even if what I said is totally and completely silly, why do you keep harassing me with this? And chasing me over here? Why? I'm glad you linked the post, because I said a lot more than "white men." This is what I said on the unpopular...

Lol, but why?

No I'm not. You're going Muhammad Ali on me with brass knuckles and I'm not even wearing boxing gloves.

I was away for a time, so I'm not even aware this existed! This most recent time is not the first I've stirred up a hornet's nest. No, it was another post, but I do keep getting raked over the coals with that one. You're free to laugh and disagree, but I've been paying attention to publishing...

I didn't say if you can sell your product "and" people like it. I said "or." I thought my implication of non-commercial purposes was expressed. I haven't dictated anything. I did say "my take," I consider," and "my opinion." Let's--for the sake of this discussion--say that you're completely...

Where is it?

Well, I did commend you on your time and effort on your work, and I did mean it, however, because of the above, I decided to punch back a bit. You're being prickly, and I'm not sure I deserve to be psychologically profiled because I have opinions you don't like.

I find the more I prepare for a story, the more distractable I am, because if I know the story in my head, the process of writing is now actually a form of transcription, and that's just boring work. If I'm telling myself a story as I write it, not knowing too much about where I'm heading, I...
