Anyway I have many ideas but I have zero experience in writing or publishing, and I know some of the members here have more experience.
I humbly ask those of you with knowledge and experience to assist your newbie comrade with any tips, tricks, resources, anecdotes, anything at all to help me. It's my mission to change this radical golden sludge secreting from my brain into something that may affect the minds of people, into something valuable.

roseweird posted:bbbelive in yourself and you can do anything
it's quite the opposite my friend, belief in myself led me to becoming a savage hot wing junkie PUA. it's seeing through my stupid false ego, and giving my heart to Christ that has enabled me to do anything valuable at all.
- Start out by collecting the ideas you want to write about
- Edit and condense these ideas into their simplest forms
- Gather evidence to support what you say
- Re-read frequently to make sure you're not writing anything stupid
- If you present several good ideas in a row, you can surprise your reader with one they would ordinarily deflect
- Cut the jesus crap

I appreciate the useful tips but I don't appreciate your disrespect of my faith. I understand faith in the Lord isn't popular in Leftist circles, but it's that faith that empowered slaves to endure & overcome & subvert & fight against their bondage and which empowered the followers of Dr. King to sacrifice their bodies in the righteous struggle for civil rights.
It is simply ignorant, short sighted, and prejudiced to discount the power of faith to empower radical emancipatory politics. I won't bother speaking to you on the benefits of one's own personal enrichment.
I know dear old Slavoj Zizek has fallen out of fashion with the hippest of the cutting edge left, but he has written extensively on Christianity having a radical core which speaks to values of revolution and communism. Of course he's no Christian, so maybe read up on that if you haven't already.
but again, thank you kindly for your advice

he's telling you to write to your audience and he's right. unless you're a 20th-21st century new evangelical the call to witness doesn't mean "act like i'm protecting my crotch from 90-mph fastballs"

marimite posted:You know there are religious people on this forum not into Zizek right? Perhaps you should read their posts, read some of what they read, and think a goddam minute before you post.
i'm sorry i know this is the proper procedure but i am but a poor brown boy suffering from untreated hulkamania and i'm working on disciplining myself with proper nutrition, meditation, prayer, physical activity, and service to others.
sometimes though, the mania strikes me and unedited words spill out through my lips or the tips of mine fingers.
cars posted:i don't think this guy posts here anymore. he wrote a thread about the topic in the main forum and people criticized it and he left but you can find him on twitter as Commie Ned Flâ˜nders. we do have some nice threads about tacos that need feedback though.
i still read i just haven't posted in a long time, but yes i am mostly on twitter thanks
drwhat posted:when i go on okcupid/tinder dates everyone i meet is fairly cute or sometimes even strikingly attractive, had a bunch of interesting words on their profile, and are just totally vapid unambitious autopilot-people with no interest in anything other than maybe a tv show they recently watched. it fucking blows. london is a the void
that happens to me but i suspect that im also vapid and unambitious so i cant really complain too much
