i have an impatience with most time travel stories. they have to be really good stories, and the time travel part seems to be associated with stories that, in my opinion, aren't.
they tend to be mostly about the angst created by time travel, in which case i think to myself 'but it couldn't happen, so stop whining'
it's interesting, because you seem to have no interest in the names of things, and haven't had much to say about the timeline, i thought you were generally not very interested in the story aspects in general
though it did occur to me 'but he has a broad library of web-comics he reads, which he keeps track of an organizes'
I don't think I can write a story. I have seen a lot of people I know start saying "Hey, I want to write something!", but so far, only my sister has succeeded in completing a book. So I am more into reading stories others have created.
your English strikes me as entirely sufficient for that.
but is it really what you want to do? if you find it doesn't come to you naturally, maybe you haven't found the best way to apply what comes to you easily.
it's like what you were saying about learning to make 3d models - if you want to, great, but there is no need. your skills in the sciences and math, and in coding, are also needed as long as it is a good fit for you.
yeah - to really get the feel you want, i guess that is true. i sometimes really wish i could switch to english with my husband, because i know how to make the precise point i want to in english, but not in spanish.
but, writing something for moonwards in norwegian ought to be totally possible. it would just take a while, and it would have to grow a lot, in order to have a good spot to put it.
:P it isn't super important. on the other hand (ahem) i have to honestly say i can see how the choices i made immediately after high school set the stage for everything else.
in this case, what i want to say is that you are good at thought experiments, and if expanding that into writing stories doesn't come naturally, then consider that there are other places where that skill is valuable, and they could be the thing that is right for you.
alright, i got to 'you can't win, you can't break even, and you can't quit the game' which was worth it, but i'm going to leave the rest, nominally for later but who knows.
it's interesting but not the stuff i need to work on right now
as a non-native English speaker, would you say you value things being expressed in a somewhat simpler vocabulary for clarity, or is it fine for less common words to be used because they are easily looked up and the writing is improved by them?
ok. i try to strike a balance. i try to use less common phrases and words when they really add something, and to keep things as clear as possible otherwise.
