TMW you realize just how much life has been devoted to YouTube. I mean holy hell it adds up. A low guess would be around 7-10 hours a week estimating just over an hour a day with extra time on the weekends. Just doing the math make me cringe. 40 hours a month X 12 months = 480 frinking hours a year that could go to Family, Writing, Art, Life, Outdoors, creativity, daydreaming, reading ect... and that doesn't even include Netflix... That probably tips that scales over 600 hours a year on mostly mindless videos... Time to restructure my life and time and my priorities.
You mean, you'd rather live an actual life than simply sit there absorbing media? Wow - ambition in the flesh!
TMW you realise that advertising your novella as "available for xmas" isn't the brightest thing you've ever done... maybe I can claim I meant xmas 2018
Crazy right? There is a lot of good content out there to be fewer and, in some cases, beneficial to writing but the bad far outweighs the good. Until now nowI was a least a 75% consumer 25% creator. My new goal is to be at least 90% creator 10% consumer.
TMW you look back at your older writing questions you’ve posted and you go, “Hang on! Why the flying fuck did I not take notes on these!?” Then proceed to take notes on them.
... when you're so far off a particular spelling, not even spellcheck software can guess what you're trying to spell. For those interested, the word - which I had to look up in paperback dictionary, was 'connoisseur'.
That moment when your mum asks what happened to the new kettle and you don't know, but you assume it has something to do with dad. (It turned out that he's lent it to my cousin, who has just moved house and couldn't locate his.) That moment when you're not looking forward to explaining to your manager why the mop is broken. (That moment when you are the reason the mop is broken.)
unless you were playing quiditch with it at the time I wouldn't worry, shit happens and its only a mop
TMW the student whose written English you criticized two weeks ago, and who switched to Google Translate last week, has decided "fuck it, he won't find anything wrong with this" as they click CTRL C, CTRL V to "write" their latest installment... Nice try.
That moment when you discover that someone has written a book about the volcano you intend to blow up in your WIP and you immediately order it - even though about 70% if the information will probably be irrelevant and the remaining 30% will probably result in you having to revise your scenario again.
Phonetically initially, cos I had no idea. I was being offered 'cocksure', 'conjure', 'contracture', then I decided there was an 'I' in it somewhere... and then I gave up and grabbed my dictionary.
You must have an illiterate spell checker if i put Connisur or Connysure into mine it comes up with Connoisseur straight away
I think I spelt it 'conashure' Although I do admire the fact you went to the trouble of testing this, just to see if my OP was utter bollocks.
TMW I thought I posted something, then realized I didn't hit the post button, then realized it's probably for the best.
