if textceeing was a viable career, would you do it?

[El Muffin]

I'd partake

I always said if I had the means I'd host a tourney w/ a huge prize

Problem is ..eradicating cheating

Iono if it's possible

I have much to say about this, for one a collective understanding of progress would have to be established. Ncs patriarch with rb synergy, etc.

The secret is there is no end to secrets.

how so?

It fostered creativity, forced me to read and write more (even if it mostly was bad, in the scheme of things, it still counts) and made me more critical in evaluating writing.

Wouldn't that just make us.....poetic bloggers?.....idk where the battlers would fit in lol

[oats]

I got you. I feel like it helped me figure out how to meet deadlines, but as for my actual writing I can't say any type of textceeing really helped me much.

Everything helps or hurts. There's no way to write as often as we have and allow it no impact on the rest of our writing.

[oats]

Agreed. I probably tailored my topical writing to voting trends too much, which made me successful in leagues, but I developed some bad habits as a result.

[Certain]

Tailoring your writing to actual readership can be a massively important skill.

[oats]

Jeez, which one of us is the hippy now, Mr. Silver Lining?

nah that's true. I was more referring to my tendencies to be heavy-handed and over explain things, which are weaknesses in my writing that I somewhat attribute to my time in topical leagues.

[Certain]

I can see that. But it's better to over-explain than leave readers wondering what the fuck you're talking about.

[Pinot Grij]

I think developing your style to the tastes of readers is the best thing you can do and the most valuable asset this site offers us. You write for the readers. Otherwise, why write?

Sometimes I don't know I was thinking a certain way until I write it.

[Witty]

And sometimes if I am obsessing over whatever, as I tend to do...it's only when I write it down and read it back I see how absurd it is, which helps me let it go.

The world never sees these writtens obv, not even my topical friends.
