Why does a neighbor expect praise for accomplishing a goal
Your writing is just words till it affects someone, either makes them reflect, cry, sneed, enraged, fricking something. Only people getting praise for simple finishing a work are writers with a history of delivering

Lmao, as if writing by hand instead of typing made it more significant.

It's bafflingly r-slurred to do that. You're just going to have to end up typing it into a computer anyways, why not just do that in the first place.
Like wtf is he going to do with it now? Make photo copies?
No.. he has to go through each of the 230 pages and enter them into the computer. When he could have just written the whole thing there.
If this is true ... It's painful how dumb it is.

Not only that, but he's angry because his friends pointed that out lmao. And the other redditards offer no constructive criticism whatsoever, just validation and upvooterinos.

If it's some Joycean/Shakespearean palimpsest of a holograph containing countless crossouts and rewrites and page-inserts and redeletions and rephrasals, I'd be impressed. There's a reason to do things by hand.
But you just know it's written in fricking gel pen, and he/she started the page anew when an error was made 'because crossouts are icky ew'.
Wonder how many Pokemon make appearances in her story...

He can't even post excerpts for validation and updoots unless he wants to take pictures of his shitty hand writing. You know that book is going to be underlined in red every other word when he enters it.

I like writing things down. Helps me remember things.
But writing a whole butt book on pen and paper is just brain-rotted in 2023. That was still r-slurred as frick even in 2013.

He'll have to edit it anyways, so can as well do it this way.
Also tbh it gives proper vibes. Like my favorite Oscar Wilde quote
And the part where Kubrick had some people type 500 pages of "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" on typewriters, no xeroxing allowed.

That's what I figured too but I like to handwrite but in 2023, I'm typing because you can easily do on the fly edits with the magic of the space and delete buttons. Your notebook is just gonna be a mess when you remember character such and such could not have possibly been in that scene.

0% chance anyone, including the author, reads this mess.

I don't think it really matters either way since most (good) books go through drafts/rewrites in the process. Either way, a decent author is most likely gonna wind up typing the same shit a couple times

The idea is to prevent over thinkimg and editing. You pay someone else to type it up for like 200 bucks.

They don't have a career. He's not finished and nobody's paid for it.
