This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."
A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.
B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

Please help? Looking to connect (online) with people who value thoughtful discussions over emotional reactions. Tired of spaces where outrage dominates instead of open dialogue and diverse perspectives. Attack ideas not humans.
Thank you in advance!

Hello, humans! (Not intended as insult, nor an implication for blame.) Anyone have some good, life affirming, uplifting, words for me to read/listen to #books, or visual tv/film recommendations (Sans the murdery or tragic victim focus)?
Thanks in advance!

The girl scrawled on the walls. Again.
“Dee! Stop coloring the walls!” her parents screamed.
She’d never give up. Only her runes kept the family safe.

I remember when the future was some point ahead of us/me, something to look forward to "someday there will be"... Now, it feels like I am surrounded by it to an uncomfortable extent "oh crap thats a thing now!"... Anyone else have this?
