Popularity doesn't reflect value, and value doesn't reflect popularity. Windows is pretty sucky, but IS popular (not as popular as *nix of course, but that's a recent thing ) 2 hours ago, Ganaram Inukshuk said: It is not worth the time explaining something others won't be able to understand See first point. however, its amazing how invested people can be in not understanding something if it contradicts what they want to believe. 2 hours ago, Ganaram Inukshuk said: It is better to be unknown than to be unwanted Ah well, I can agree with that one, but then, I AM an introvert 2 hours ago, Ganaram Inukshuk said: I know too well how I operate with others. Too often I work better in isolation and too often I'm forced to do so. adding more people to a team increases team complexity - it rarely helps a time crunch, as the time lost bringing someone new up to speed and getting productive work out of them is usually more valuable than the actual work output gained. ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I can make a writing style work the same way as my art styles, I don't wanna bother with writing... I'm not good with dialogue because it often reflects my own speaking style; if I use that, it'll be full of quirks that are simply seen as errors. Stream of consciousness suffers the same problem but is slightly more workable since there's no character to character interaction. I have more experience with drawing than writing that I know when I'm being told unworkable advice (my no-advice policy still stands, even if it makes me unpopular with the self-proclaimed "true artists"), but writing is so underdeveloped that being told I'm doing something wrong is like being told my life is wrong.

Many times I've concluded that it's best left that way. I tried an all-dialogue story once but found it to be too synthetic (for lack of a better word) to be believable. I found that a no-dialogue story would be more workable, then SOC. I dont wanna hear another argument over how RYB and past tense has been the standard for centuries, and any such persons forcing me to follow tradition, well, they'd better give up on me now.

I've been known to make needlessly strict policies; I've recently made several posts outside of here that said stuff along the lines of "these stylistic decisions are not made in error and are a prominent feature of my art style; do not suggest anything that undoes any of those choices" and "I don't wanna keep defending my choices every time I ask how I did"... I also don't know what art style my thing is; i never got an answer... <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
