Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

I'm pretty new to writing and frankly, my stories are horrible writing-wise when I read them. Any piece of advice would appreciated.

So I got curious and looked up your book on Amazon to read reviews and having never even read it, I can already tell which reviews are fully lib-brained nonsense. They can't even conceptualize a military that doesn't conform specifically to modern US standards in a fucking sci-fi novel and are so fucking smug about it.

Anyway, guess I need to read your book now. Probably could have made it through 100 pages of it in the time I spent reading these reviews.
