I got made fun of as a child by a parent for doing art and just... never did any ever afterwards. I primarily hang around artists tho and would like to relate to them more, but none of them do creative writing. I've read numerous grammar books, so that won't be a problem, but none really go in to how to construct a sentence, paragraph, page, chapter, plot, etc. I'll happily take any advice on the subject, really anything you can think for someone with actually zero experience.
Good advice I've gotten so far is to just write basically whatever. Also, people who are visual artists and creative writers, which was "easier" for you to become fluent?
I should really finish switching from Google Drive to Syncthing eventually because the options for Drive clients on Linux are dire
I don't use Google services at all, as a matter of principle. Even my phone has a de-Googled custom ROM.
That's how it should be done. Someday I'll have my life together enough to stop putting that off
It freaks me out that if you're logged into google, then ALL your activity in your browser on EVERY website is monitored and recorded. If you use NoScript, uBlock origin or uMatrix then you'll see that nearly every website has "google tag manager" and "google syndication" scripts running. So Google, and by extension law enforcement, can see what websites you've visited, what pages you read, what you searched for (as most searches are sent as a GET request) and so on.
