RE: 16 days of literature: Particle Ghost
To be honest I find it hard to understand this post. You added several challenges into one or?
I have to get used to your writing style and need to read if Morea's just twice to understand it for the biggest part.
Finshthestory is so completely different as I expected ... Might be it is my western mind ... Lack of words.. but I think in your story Mr Renhe Ren found himself which was the idea of the wise man.
UwU ~ Thanks for reading and challenging what yah really know about writing. Gotta remember that I am a Polish person that didn’t had the help of learning English from my parents while suffering a speech impediment and being shy as a kid. Things of the past still haunt me and my ways of iteration; nobody was born a perfect mirror of society unfortunately. So there has to be an understanding that I would go out and understand everything so people wouldn’t treat me as some dumb, non-English native. But more importantly, that it would severely distort my understanding and application of things that I pretty much could hop around various mannerisms until people begin noticing and feel awkward with how radically I can shift my mannerisms without second thought. Well, that and I might be an undiagnosed Schizophrenic.
Keeping those in mind, I always found Global North / “Western” schools of writing (here surprising East Europe isn’t considered part of the “West” until we take a global perspective) severely restrictive and against the notions of freedom they always would scream into the air. In the Global Periphery / “Eastern/Non-Western” schools of writing did I found more senses of lingual freedom while these words still having an impact twenty chapters in (I can cite a quite few, but my most favorite one recently is Benjanun Sriduangkaew).
Of course, that and I find the non-mainstream schools of writing in the Global North / “Western” schools of writing infinitely more interesting than the mainstream ones, exampli gratia: Second Belief (JRR Tolkien), Surrealism/Avant-Guarde, Realism/Naturalism and (note the rule of fours here) Eastern European writers like Anton Pavolich Chekov or Henryk Sienkiewicz. (I could go on to talk about Medieval and Old European writings, but now we would have to actually understand the cultures to even get an understanding of them!) However, the biggest thing I mostly do in my writings is to fully mock this “show, don’t tell” rule and show how the “showing” aspect is more-or-less “telling more eloquently.” Because look, every lil’ has to be transcribed to the reader telling them what happened (literally) and what may have happened (metaphorically). I utterly despise “the show-don’t-tell” rule considering everything I have said above and the fact that this just glammorizes the beautiful prose and poetry as more than what even the writers thought it was.
But hey: this is the Internet, not “WesternNet” - so see what yer education had failed to teach... anyways have a Nurse Spooky to calm yer head down:
I understand you @wakeupkitty. Felix writing is not for the faint of heart.
Imagine if I took the time to make like Horror books, would my books give heart attacks?
