  • I’d suggest you to look for a guidebook on any of Marx’s works, or Engels. He’s right about many things, but he is a boring writer. Reading his stuff is tedious, especially without a guide. I see others recommend starting to learn about Marx from people after him, but I completely disagree that that’s a good place to start. Dictators, oppressors, and war crime deniers have nothing of value to say.








  • I should mention that I have a habit even outside of writing to overcomplicate things. I want to still write about my complex ideas, like the inner life and philosophy of an Eldritch god, but it definitely won’t help if I overcomplicate the language I’m using.

    Recently I finally accepted that not everything I write is pure gold and that I’m allowed to rewrite or delete stuff. After all, it’s the idea being expressed in a paragraph that’s important to me, not the words and their layout.


  • I’m an indie author. Idk how common my experience is, but here goes.

    I’ve self published one book, but I want to go back and make a 2nd edition, after I finish book 2. My primary goal in writing was to get anyone to enjoy it. I realized onky after publishing that accessibility is important, and I’ve adapted my writing style. How I realized was that my relative who have English as their second or third language couldn’t understand my writing.

    The only people who managed to finish my book were all writers, I believe. In order to get through m book they needed to accept that sometimes my writing didn’t make sense to them, so they continued regardless.
