Is rhyme writing a skill that translate into other forms of writing?

I probably write more non-rhyming stuff these days than vice versa but honestly other than the story telling techniques (if you are writing a novel or short story) I'm not sure this form of writing we do here is very transferrable at all.

Essay writing is a great way to train yourself for academic or non fiction writing in general. Just pick a subject and write an essay on it, do it in your spare time and focus on a wide variety of subjects, it trains your mind to think and write in a critical fashion.

i think it's probably more vice versa.

I'd say no if you're asking specifically about rhyming.

I find I'm able to write quickly, faster than I ever could in fact, over the past two years or so. I put that down to the league deadlines etc being 5 days (or shorter, often) so I feel that helps me tremendously.
I've learned not to obsess on finding one perfect rhyming word and if it doesn't come naturally, it probably is best to just move past it and keep writing rather than obsess over finding that one word that rhymes perfectly before I continue. That's probably just a personal perfectionist problem of mine, but I've learned how to overcome it and feel better for it. Here, and outside of here. I'm definitely more fluent in my writing than I ever was. It comes so easy to me nowadays. Especially on tracks etc this works well for me.

I'm not sure tracks is exactly what you were looking for, but I'd say even for live battles - the writing time is shortened for me from having done this years. It gives more time to work on delivery/performance etc

Good examples from all, I like the sound of the essay approach. I read books and articles frequently, so I'm sure it'll translate to high level formal writing eventually.

Maybe in the sense that you have to think of different phrasings to sound natural while rhyming. You could argue that you're expanding your ability to construct certain thoughts so they rhyme while still sounding like normal speech. So maybe a little boost to wording in general when not rhyming. That's the only connection, I think. The whole purpose of rhyming is to show how well you can write with a restriction so it doesn't cross over much.

just look at how hard it is for people who started out writing text rhymes, to write actual hip hop rhymes
i'm a firm believer that text is the worst form of writing there is. it hinders your abilities elsewhere for sure. the only thing it is probably good for is expanding your vocabulary lol but actual writing mechanics it HAS to hurt, i can't see a benefit

Good assessments..
Yeah I'd have to say it's crazy how much more time it takes to write a really good short story vs. writing a really good rhymed verse. Although when I write a verse, the goal is to construct a world or create something with vibrance that speaks to readers. A story is a whole new ball game, because those characters, environments, and the story as a whole requires more attention. Taking away the rhyming can also feel awkward for awhile. One thing I think translates well is our ability to let the language "flow" because we develop an acuity at manipulating the sounds and streams of language that have momentum. We thrive at aggressive streams of thought, which could translate to more realistic and passionate dialogue from genuine characters in a story. When trying to write a "page turner" we sort of complement that process, because we write "bar turners." Or I'm just reaching. |

My wording of general things is a lil more effective than it was before tbh
dont know if this is text related, personal growth, or a lil bit of each but I did very little writing outside of this since then |

And there are other things I've learnt from text with regards to writing. In text, e.g., you have to be very concise. And that actually applies to other forms of writing as well. At one point in my text career I realized that I need to re-read my sentences and take out every unnecessary word. I do the same with essays now. I think it helps when you try to be clear and concise. |

I just finished my 70k + word novel and am very happy with it. All netcees did was serve as a distraction.
Writing verses helps with trusting your instinct amd just flowing the story. At least for me.

if publishers turn you down, you can always sell it on amazon and other digital media platforms. a program like scrivener can even save it in every format thinkable, and since its already written, you can also plug it in copy and paste style. it will split your chapters up, put the proper margins etc. all that. and you can use it for free for like 40 days or some shit before you buy it, but since the book is written you don't even need the full 40. just copy and paste and save it as an ebook, pdf, everything sell it on the amazon kindle store yourself and tell publishers to suck your balls but word thats if publishers sleep congrats THO i never made it out of the outline phase for my epic fantasy saga
