Quick post: A message to writers
17 years ago
Still out for the same reasons.
Hey, Fur affinity writers. This is a special message--from me to you, to all of you. It may not apply to some; it may not matter to others, but for reasons for catharsis I simply must say it: It's called a god damned paragraph, for fuck's sake! Learn to use it!! Yeah. I don't know what if anything is running through some of your minds when you choose to expose people to pages upon pages of justified, no-line-breaks, eye-gouging text, but it is not good. I can no longer endure a full page of unbroken text, let alone two to three, that's supposed to be fiction! FICTION!
See, paragraphs help create flow. They allow the eye to rest, to keep its place in a long story or document, and they separate overarching ideas that into differing groups, and do other wonderful things. So: why? Why avoid them like the plague, why cause my eye to twitch like someone has emptied their sandbox into it? I confess readily I am not a writer fundamentally, but this seems like bad practice to me. Perhaps it's a format issue, but if you're using .doc, it is inexcusable. Even word porn deserves better than to be a hideous blotch of text that intimidates the reader.
Sorry to be so bitchy, everyone. My work search is not going well. --_--
