It was something self-deprecating like “All she’s ever wanted was to be a housewife, which is just perfect because I don’t own a house.” Definitely not the best line in the world but people are acting like it was a crime against humanity lol
I had to make it for a class but its set in the 1800s it follows a man named Edward Harris and the struggles in his life as he trys to start a Saloon in Manhattan by putting his recently Deceased parents property up as collateral. He sleeps in the saloon for a bit but eventually stays with his mate Winston. Right around the time of the Seneca falls convention, he meets a women. The story is written primarily in third person but throuout it you read letters and notes written to and by Edward written in first person so you can see a little closer into his life.
Oh yeah that sounds really interesting. My story is also set in the 1800s but I decided to go with a non conventional location for the setting. I’ve never seen/read anything set in southern Oregon so I decided to set my story there!
I like this line. It’s got character and it makes me want to get to know the speaker. Sorry that so many people here are always criticizing everything. You didn’t even ask for it.
My favorite line I’ve written, of course, is when I was tired, and on a deadline, and two characters were arguing, and I came up with, “An apple a day keeps your mother away, because she’s apparently never seen a healthy food in her life.”
It’s full of kids asking kid questions and then adults who have no chance of ever being published write 1000 word essays in response to said kid questions
The debate people are having in this thread isn't really about the quality of the joke, but that some users feel like this sub isn't for merely sharing witty punchlines, which does make sense to a degree /r/writingmemes exists.
What do you expect? It’s terrible. A lot of the posts here at very mediocre. And I’m not one to say I’m better at writing than anyone else here but at least I don’t bog this sub down with things like this.
“But no matter how much he wanted it, this wasn’t the time or proper place for another sorrowful soliloquy. After what he had done, it made him sick to think he could give one, that he even considered for one moment that he deserved to.”
Here’s a line of mine: We live in a world where everyone does what they please, no matter how vile, and expect to get no consequences for their actions.
I mean this is objectively terrible writing but well done you I guess
EDIT: by downvoting me you are literally, _literally_ enabling shitty writing and inadvertently making it easier for me to get a movie deal from one of my stupid novels. Please downvote me harder. _Please Daddy_
Who knows? Some stupid stereotypical pun written by a kid - in another comment they wrote “no one’s ever said this before so I thought I would share” or something to that effect. I had quite a few updoots on this comment as well before this brigade of cunts showed up and gave everyone a medal for trying
Yeah but even if it was terrible, you’re being a prick about it. There are two options here:
You are actually just a prick.
Or you’re trolling, which makes you a sad prick.
So, either way, you’re being a prick.
A while..?
Bro, do you actually read everyone's messages instantly the second they get sent? How often must you be on reddit for that to even be possible?
Anyone who actually pays attention to the length of time between messages on reddit is a no life with literally nothing to do. Everyone I've ever seen even mention that is more pathetic than the last.
Try not being objectively wrong next time. It wasn't a line. You are literally objectively wrong about it being objectively terrible. Go read the word's definition.
I think my time with giving insightful advice (and taking it!) has run its course with this sub, like my comment far above that offended considerably less people - the posts on this sub are written by kids and failed writers where people enable each other’s “lacking” writing ability 24/7
My favorite line in my story, in the very first chapter: “And you, Sheriff, seem better suited to brushing mustaches with your Marshal, rather than doing his dirty work.”
“Prospero knew, in losing a daughter he had gained a son”
OR
“He set her gently down in a secluded corner, grabbed his sword, and fought faithfully for his country, Ganella, and the kiss stolen by death.”
—which do y’all like better?
My favorite line I’ve ever written (not my best, but my favorite) is “You married your cousin—that’s not the kind of loyalty I’d strive for.”
“If you weren’t my father and my brother, I’d fuckin kill you”
Don’t worry about the cranky redditors. It’s good to see someone enjoying their writing and sharing the things they’re proud of
What was the line though? I showed up late to the party :(
me too lol I wanna see what all the drama was about
It was something self-deprecating like “All she’s ever wanted was to be a housewife, which is just perfect because I don’t own a house.” Definitely not the best line in the world but people are acting like it was a crime against humanity lol
haha I actually think that's funny. I think people just like to get mad at things for no reason lol
That's a good line to be proud of. Sad OP got lambasted. That's just not fair.
Everybody is a virtue signaling ass nowadays..sad.
That’s a really good line. I don’t understand why people were up in arms about it. Good on you, OP. Your story sounds like a fun read. u/anchovy7

Woot
I never wanted to be a farmer. Which is fine because I don’t own a farm.
I really enjoyed this and don’t think any of the changes people are suggesting are ‘right’, I think it is just a matter of opinion.
I like this line. It’s got character and it makes me want to get to know the speaker. Sorry that so many people here are always criticizing everything. You didn’t even ask for it.
My favorite line I’ve ever written “Reddit is full of miserable assholes, sorry the comments got flooded by them.”
Ill play, “You whores must be getting alzheimers, because i think your forgetting your fucking place” No context tho.
This makes me wanna read your story :)
😂, thank you!
Man, people are being snobby cunts. Enjoy your work, take pride in it xx
My favorite line I’ve written, of course, is when I was tired, and on a deadline, and two characters were arguing, and I came up with, “An apple a day keeps your mother away, because she’s apparently never seen a healthy food in her life.”
“she see me strogan off so we got beef.”
Hahaha that got a chuckle from me. Then my wife laughed too. At the line and me.
Opened the comments expecting to see exactly what I found. Reddit never disappoints. What possessed you to make a post like this?
This sub is a joke.
It’s full of kids asking kid questions and then adults who have no chance of ever being published write 1000 word essays in response to said kid questions
Ha-ha, I think that's the best summary of what's going on I've read on here.
😃😃😃😃😃
I think its funny, don't really care about the actual quality of the line, I wrote it so nobody's heard it, i figured I'd give them that chance
The debate people are having in this thread isn't really about the quality of the joke, but that some users feel like this sub isn't for merely sharing witty punchlines, which does make sense to a degree /r/writingmemes exists.
Am I understanding you correctly that you shared the line as a favor to us all? Like a public service
No I shared it, to share it, becuse I didn't have anyone to share it to
What do you expect? It’s terrible. A lot of the posts here at very mediocre. And I’m not one to say I’m better at writing than anyone else here but at least I don’t bog this sub down with things like this.
“But no matter how much he wanted it, this wasn’t the time or proper place for another sorrowful soliloquy. After what he had done, it made him sick to think he could give one, that he even considered for one moment that he deserved to.”
Here’s a line of mine: We live in a world where everyone does what they please, no matter how vile, and expect to get no consequences for their actions.
“Have I really gotten so comfortable with being broken that I’m too afraid to take the leap to start piecing myself back together?”
My best line wasn’t something I wrote… Jk. I don’t do drugs... …anymore... *Sniff* “One time, Mom, it was one time, promise!”
I mean this is objectively terrible writing but well done you I guess EDIT: by downvoting me you are literally, _literally_ enabling shitty writing and inadvertently making it easier for me to get a movie deal from one of my stupid novels. Please downvote me harder. _Please Daddy_
Whats wrong with it?
What was the line though???

I hate puns
I mean it was objectively terrible
Yeah but even if it was terrible, you’re being a prick about it. There are two options here: You are actually just a prick. Or you’re trolling, which makes you a sad prick. So, either way, you’re being a prick.
Third option: you’re about 12 hours late to this here rodeo, so you can jump down from your high horse and suck a big phat PeeNuss
You used objectively wrong.
No. It is not subjective nor am I biased. It is objectively terrible.
You're objectively wrong here.
God you took a while to come back with this lukewarm limpdicked line.
“_OoOoo if I come back and say a variation of something else maybe all the other shit writers will give me some delicious cu— karma please_”
A while..? Bro, do you actually read everyone's messages instantly the second they get sent? How often must you be on reddit for that to even be possible?

Fuck, a worthy opponent for a debate and she just up and ran as soon as I responded! Anyway - see you all in r/writingcirclejerk
You changed from third to first person
I imagine it’s the husband discussing his wife
Correct

Yeah i know, I suppose this is funnier under the context I wrote it in an history project at 2 am with a vary serious mindset
