ITT: We write short stories of creation better than the Genesis: the Bible.

Would you guys be interested in watching a stream of my writing?

It's in the fantasy genre, and I have some written, only like a page so far.

If you email me, I'll send an email around and another thread with the stream info when I do it.

I'm definitely stupid enough, but I don't know where to look for free esoteric ebooks. Stop being a cunt.

Does the pronoun derive from Hebrew?

Hahaha it turned out to be so shocking.

In a distant dream of affinity, I had stood before the prophets of remorse and truth in the temple, and watched them paint the world using all of their wisdom. In the middle of the room was an altar filled to the brim with the clearest waters, it was covered in roots that broke through the stone floor. It was said that it had appeared one day, and because of this its location was considered holy. The prophets would place their hands over the altar, and raise spheres from within the waters. One of them was placed in front of me; inside of its boundaries was a small planet - it looked rather like a frog spawn. The whole animation would zoom down to the continents, and glide across the seas like an eagle. My mind felt still and open, it seemed as if I was there myself.

I thought my teacher may have been trolling, she said the topic of the book (which I called theme), is... what it is. The first time I handed coursework in she told me, when I put Genre as 'Pseudoscience" I was, trolling basically. She said Genre was the 'type' of text structure, like a 'textbook' or a 'book'.

Got shit loads of coursework to finish, shits bad man.

same. I'm trying to revamp my style, I've been switching it up lately.

The Author has chosen to write in the Genre of a book with a deep and edgy theme. He writes using complex and very descriptive lexis, for example, the words “revelation,” and “theosophists”. The semantics he uses are mystical as can be seen by the previous examples. I liked the phrase “bland optimism,” as the noun is reversed entirely by the adjective. The purpose of the text is to entertain and the book is aimed at teenagers. He uses a relatively standard sentence structure, with some use of a semi colon or hyphen to construct larger sentences. The syntax used is varied, “That glimpse, like all dread glimpses of truth, flashed out from an accidental piecing together of separated things…” – here he chooses to put the noun phrase first, and then another noun phrase to modify the subject, which evidently amplifies the meaning of the following verb phrase. I liked this because the semantics of the subject, by the end of the sentence, gave a chilling essence to “the glimpse”; I think the word ‘dread’ is very effective.

The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
Theosophists have guessed at the awesome grandeur of the cosmic cycle wherein our world and human race form transient incidents. They have hinted at strange survivals in terms which would freeze the blood if not masked by a bland optimism. But it is not from them that there came the single glimpse of forbidden eons which chills me when I think of it and maddens me when I dream of it. That glimpse, like all dread glimpses of truth, flashed out from an accidental piecing together of separated things - in this case an old newspaper item and the notes of a dead professor. I hope that no one else will accomplish this piecing out; certainly, if I live, I shall never knowingly supply a link in so hideous a chain. I think that the professor, too intended to keep silent regarding the part he knew, and that he would have destroyed his notes had not sudden death seized him.
I have to annotate the above for homework, it's supposed to be a style model for my writing to entertain coursework. I don't know how to annotate it correctly, I've always been bad at it. Can anyone give me an example and I'll then write mine after following your advice.

Why is "W"?

And you.

What is pleasure without pain? Searching for fun constantly is a bore.. I prefer adventure.

No. I'm not fitting into reality as well as I should be. I repented as soon as I found out it was all plastic and fake. Instead I spend my time fishing out various 18th century books and figuring our ways to alter the system so that life isn't so.. 'weird' and 'fabricated', so to speak. And thus, I found this book and now I am learning how to speak snake.

Here's the book I'm reading. It's pretty darn good.

I don't know for sure, I think it might be a girl. Someone who posts on /sci/ will know.

In searching for Hebrew in English, spell each word by letters, making them to express conversation as in "house". Spell as H 0 you see. H is told to see 0, and 0 to see H. This is by accent. The reader is told the same things as the pronoun may be applied.

In other Germanic languages, including German, its pronunciation is similar to an English V.[3] In American Spanish, it is doble ve, and in Spain uve doble, both literally "double vee".[4]


That settles it then. It is no longer Double U, but rather "VV"

>>1585332
Good question.

It is the only letter in the alphabet that is more than one syllable.

W

Wait a second, why is it even called "Double U"? It doesn't make sense, that's stupid. Its more like 'Wuh'. It's NEVER used with that sound.

A is used as "Ay" or "Ah"
B is used as "Bee" or "Buh"
And so on...

W is used as "Wuh"
NOT "Double U"

Something fishy is going on here.

U is a clean letter of itself, and its connection with all others is to spell it Y, 0, U. As Y is the urn, and 0 the gateway to immortality,they are added to U, as the three are applied to man.
