Great selections but 25 is too few. Just think: in all of them, there is no gaudy pyrotechnics, porn level love making, special effects, massive sets, leftist politics, etc. that are staples of current cinema.

"Gun Crazy", "Nightmare Alley" & "The Night of the Hunter" would def make my list! I also think John Ford's "My Darling Clementine" is noir. So what do I know....

Im not on TikTok but I think I remember you mentioning that your viewership on TikTok was much higher compared to here on KZread, and if that's the case then I bet you probably get a lot of douchebag troll comments. Hopefully I'm wrong about that but it wouldn't surprise in the least if it were true. Ive never seen anyone leave you negative comments on here though. That being said, I am pretty sure I have undiagnosed Aspergers or maybe even a high functioning form of Autism, but I've never felt the need to have a doctor confirm it for me.
@batman52245 күн бұрын
I do on occasion. Because of viewership, I don’t get as many on KZread, although there was that video where people were trying to defend polyamory. I just think it’s dangerous to label people who don’t act like everyone else. To me, something is only a disorder if it severely impacts one’s everyday life.

Hii just from a perspective of a big reader this is very nice but i do think its alot of descriptive words i couldn't focus properly on one description. After i watched the video a few more times i understood the whole thing so i do like the story and its setting, its just the impact of the words ur using is dulled because there's too many other descriptive words which are overcrowding the sentences. Again i do like this alot (i listened to the video more than 10 times come on) but yeah this is something i wanted to add

This passage is relatively tame compared to many passages I write. If you think this is too descriptive, you’re definitely not going to like books like Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter. The entire point is to overwhelm your senses and stretch your visualizations. You’re meant to read it more than once. I don’t subscribe to a utilitarian view of writing.

I'm a former musician and I had the same self doubt releasing songs, and no matter what, it wasn't until after I released certain songs that I would think of things that I would change or add. It's just one of those things that artists always deal with, no matter the type of art it is. Music, writing, drawings/paintings, all of it.
@batman522423 күн бұрын
It’s why many artists can’t consume their own art after releasing it into the world. They want to remember it as being better than it actually was.

As an avid reader, I prefer cream paper to white paper. Like somebody else said in the comments, it's easier on the eyes. Growing up I always associated white paper with 'newer' books and I loved the old school look of cream paper. Also, turning pages felt more satisfying with cream paper. White paper I would normally associate with non-fiction books and leaflets. Each to their own of course. :)

Again, the cream paper on KDP often looks dirty. I also think white paper looks better with books with dark or gray covers. Cream paper often doesn’t match as well.

I was born in 2000. Through my primary school experience, we were strictly pencil and paper folk, and had to go to a separate room called 'The Computer Lab' for the purpose of teaching us to type. Secondary school was similar, with laptops being forbidden in the classroom. It was not until my third to last year that Chromebooks were instituted in Science, and they became an essential part of study. All these years later, I write strictly with pen and paper, and I do not know my home keys; I basically typewith either two fingers, or the butt-end of a pen or pencil. For anything that needs to be typed, namely manuscript pages, I use my phone, which is effecient, if a bit sobering to think about.

I often write by hand because it is more freeing and spontaneous, but my handwritten manuscripts are not for other people. Most people cannot read my handwriting, especially if they’re trying to read it in a hurry. I’m not the only author with such a dilemma. Herman Melville’s handwriting was considered unreadable. His wife and sister copied down a more legible manuscript to send to publishers, but oddly, he filled in all of the punctuation after the fact. Tolstoy’s wife wrote down his work into a more legible form. I probably would have done something similar if I had lived before the invention of the typewriter. I used a typewriter to write Silent Reckoning. The problem I had in school with laptops is that teachers would often accuse me of cheating. One time, I left a file with my notes open before a test. I had simply forgotten to close it, along with many files, but the teacher thought I was cheating. I would have a much easier time now, I suspect.
