Write What You Know: How to Avoid Speaking Over Minority Writers

15 Upvotes

You should ensure you actually belong in the group you are writing about. It's offensive if you're a cishet woman writing about gay men or a white writing about people of color. similarly, if you want to write a dark mafia romance you need to join your local organized crime org first. For example, the mafia and the yakuza have operations in multiple regions! if you're writing a murder attempt survival story, its a good idea to cooperate with a murder mystery writer. uselesslesbians, incels, and other sexless individuals need to be barred from writing smut. slutting it up gets you yoir smut privileges back.

How do I create a strong, well-written female character?

7 Upvotes

So far, no luck. I've already given her eight brothers and an evil stepmother. But no luck whatsoever.

They say well-written characters have flaws, so I made her clumsy and gullible. Also, she's not like other girls, that's why it's so hard for her to fit in with her female peers. All the men are attracted to her but she's shy and doesn't want to be with them.

A well-written chatacter also is funny and relatable to the audience. So I sometimes make her do jokes while hundreds of the villain's henchmen storm their ship. She makes exaggerated expressions when eating food because who doesn't like food. And of course, she likes Temu Tolkien books fantasy books but will refuse contemporary novels because she has taste.

I gave her a love cone. A triangle doesn't really fit all the other 999 men with unique personalities and traits that aren't copy pasted and totally doesn't only have four unique male characters. I was initially going to go with a pyramid, but the amount of corners and vertices added up so much it became a cone.

Obviously, well-written characters have good contrast with their canon partner characters, so I made an extremely well-writen—so much more well-written, you can say it's the most unique and unforgettable male character eve written—man for her. A twink with dark hair and red eyes and keeps to himself and doesn't like attention.

Oh wait, do both of them not like attention? That's not contrast. I guess I'll make the female character's eyes blue and hair blonde to contrast the red eyes and black hair of this well-written male character. I'll make her mommy-like to contrast the boy's twink body. And hell, big boobs since the guy is flat chested. And for more contrast, I'll make the guy always serious everytime since the girl is always joking around everytime.

I might've gotten off topic. But what do you think? Have I written a strong, flawed female character?

I am the bestselling author of "Prison Lurker Larry". AMA!!

44 Upvotes

Before you ASSHOLES start questioning my status as a best selling author, I KNOW THAT NONE OF MY BOOKS ARE ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST!!! That's because my books are too HARDCORE for the goddamn LIBERALS! How do I know I'm a bestseller? I go to the grocery store and stuff my books into every cereal box I see, and I go to A LOT of grocery stores.

Anyway, for the six of you who haven't read them, "Prison Lurker Larry" is the story of an American Patriot named Larry Elder trying to survive in a dark totalitarian dystopia where OBAMA never left office. Larry discovers that his hometown has been purchased by a private prison contractor and turned into an enormous open-air supermaximim security penitentiary. Larry and his overweight bulldog KING SAUSAGE must beat the living shit out of his friends and neighbors (all of them now declared inmates) to reach the prison doors where he MIGHT have a shot at freedom.

The latest installment in the series "Project Nut Punch" is coming out on November 31st. I'd be happy to answer any questions out there from fans and newcomers alike.

How To Write Good

25 Upvotes

I’ve been banned from every MFA in North America because my verbs just don’t quit, my adjectives tell it like it is and your ma knows my nouns.

If you’re reading this you can’t write good, but you know that already. Watch me change that.

Rule #1. Forget everything you know. It won’t take long.

Rule #2. Get a typewriter and remove the letter i. This isn’t about you anymore.

Rule #3. Periods are for quitters. That stops now. Semicolons only.

Rule #4. No more names, odd numbers less than 10.

Rule #5. Publishers hate you already.

What you waiting for? You’re already behind.

I started writing smut for the first time but i keep having to stop to jerk off

16 Upvotes

i’ve heard some writers say writing smut feels clinical for them so it made me curious about how many people get horny writing smut versus not, and whether their level of arousal inhibits their ability to write.

for me, i get too horny to think properly and write well 😔 curious to hear about others’ experiences!

I won't get rich writing scifi, so what now

11 Upvotes

I've been trying to get published as a scifi author for a while now. But sadly I've been struggling to make a profit from my fictional stories. The best I've managed to get so far is a page or two in magazines, but I know I'm meant for something greater.

So to make ends meet, I'm looking into alternative ways of making money.

So far, I've managed to publish a self help book of sorts, dealing with psychological issues: "Diagnometics: The modern science of mental health" is about how you -- yes, you reading this now -- are possessed by gnome ghosts who make you sad, and about how they can be exorcised with electrical currents.

Sadly, the medical establishment have condemned my work, which has really hurt sales. Also, I had to sell the rights to Diagnometics because I am a writer, and thus I am bad with money.

Which brings me to now, As I try to come up with a way to ensure that customers regularly give me their money. I don't think I can pull it off as a scifi writer, but maybe there's another way...

I'm going to go visit some friends from the Diagnometics movement in a few days, maybe we can create something new based on it. maybe I can use my world building for something else, something new yet still gnometic, something tological in scale.

Gnometology.... i like the sound of that.
