Atomic Habits is legitimately dogshit and half of it is filler. Tiny Habits does everything better. I get irrationally pissed off when anyone mentions it because I think it's one of the worst books ever written purely because there's another book that does everything it does but significantly better. He stole all of BJ Fogg's ideas and just explained them in a worse way. I hate that it's the mainstream self help book. Fuck Atomic Habits and fuck James Clear.

I guess it would be more of a synopsis

Late and gay blogpost on Brandon Sanderson's Oathbringer: Fuck me, I honestly cant remember being so disappointed in a sequel novel that I just dropped the book at the final climax. Was this novel even edited?

I really enjoyed Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, and then Oathbringer somehow feels rushed and drags at the same time and every character save Dalinar seems to regress to the point where I don't care about them anymore.
> Half the book seems to be characters milling around in their new tower city doing sweet fuck-all
> Characters returning from the dead or ones being murdered are just swept under the rug
> Complete ass-pull of powers in the final battle, Radiants being invincible, feels like I'm watching a child smash action figures together
> A magic system that is both so autistically outlined but also anyone can seemingly do anything without limits
> Shadesmar being just like anywhere on Roshar, what even is the point?
> Best boy Adolin being forgotten for half the book, Syl not being in 99% of the book (her conversations with Kaladin were such a great part of books 1+2 and now she is some npc cheerleader)
> muh mental health, cant do nuffin, please feel sorry for me, like seriously just kys and have the next 4 books be just Adolin and Dalinar

I cannot believe I fell for the Sanderson hype, man is a wanker. Could have spent two months reading something good.

Writing dialogue in a novel, how to avoid He said She said over and over?

you might wanna acting like a victim, seriously. theres a whole wave of people claiming to have disorders to just get attention they never truly deserved and its sickening. People are suffering from real fucking things and they have to wait in line with people like you. When you get hooked on medication that you truly don't need and it starts fucking with you, mentally, don't come crawling back preaching you've been miraculously cured.

jesus grow the fuck up seriously its too fucking late to blame your laziness and mistakes on a mental disorder whilst creating the attention you never received as a child

You already made this thread before faggot. You sound like the typical cunt complaining why nobody wants to talk to you, when clearly the reason no one wants to talk to you because you just listed 30+ some writers that I bet my soul you haven't read. You ever think its not that everyones an uncultured swine; that maybe you push away people because your too pretentious and better than them? There are plenty of well cultured people in uni but cultured people attract cultured people and you just wanna boast about "reading" highly acclaimed writers so you don't really attract the cultured people you attract the uncultured swine infestation that has been dooming this capitalist ever since it was wrung up and began to grow. You. Make. Me. Sick. I've never seen a more pathetic post.

Hello Lit. I need help editing a plea I made to a TV organization.

The basic premise is that some horrible shit is being targeted towards toddlers and kids.

This thread does not concern itself with this.

I would like your help editing my work to at least give it a chance to be read by some CBS email reading pleb.
