This. Like I get you want to believe the people "on your side" are nice people, purpleprose, but they are pro-choice, they vote Democrat, they generally are liberal, and when something bad happens in a "red" state they say people there deserve it because they didn't vote in different state govt.

#SummerOfStories 5- Prose
Do teachers write bc they can't shut up, or to authors teach bc they can't shut up? Chicken or egg?

My prose is VERY descriptive. It's epic fantasy, yo- it's SUPPOSED to have pages of exposition and world building dumps and historical accounts. #SorryNotSorry #PurpleProse

That line-“crime is nothing but a left-handed form of human endeavor”-makes about as much sense as “love means never having to say you’re sorry.” And is equally faux-profound. #PurpleProse #TheAsphaltJungle #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness #LoveStory

Songwriting isn't just about rhyming.
Tell your story.
Speak your truth.
Fearlessly bleed on the page.
And within those real moments, you'll craft the melody and words that beautifully connect.

The captain stood against the rail, eyes fixed on the horizon. His whale was out there. Somewhere. His leg ached, and so did his pride. He didn’t sleep. Couldn’t. The ocean mocked him with its vast silence. He whispered to it, begging it to answer.

We are all like poor Captain Ahab, looking for our white whale.

Screwed and Screwed Again Duet

A really fun read, this story is ‘an irreverent poke into the world of Women's Erotic Romance’ where purpleprose runs rampant.

Interesting found #CreativeHumour 🤔😂 The normal recommendation is for #CreativeWriters to steer away from such #PurpleProse 😱😂 If you think you're falling into this trap, perhaps consider using a #CopyEditor 🤔💜❤️😎

Every full moon night, I gaze into the waterfall breaking through the mountain outside of my hidden cave and select one lost soul.

Tonight, the hands of destiny choose to fall on you.

Actually, the posts pointing out badly written s3x scene by men is on Instagram, but hey, it's a cross post.

I was inspired to write this years ago based on a challenge prompt to write bad purple prose on purpose, for humor sake.

#WritingCommunity #WriteSky #snippets #parody #humor #purpleprose
Visuals: purple lips on black background. Text: In honor of some of the awful purple prose posted lately, here’s a few (written badly on purpose) gems of my own to add gasoline to the toxic tire fire. His long fingers, strong and nimble, grabbed her arms, but not before his thumb deftly stroked the sides of one of her br**sts that quivered like a blancmange. He shook her once more, watching as one milky globe popped free of its confines like a volleyball at a beach tournament. “...now that I am thusly soiled...” ...exciting him to the point that he no longer cared that his man juice would co-mingle with that of his greatest enemy. ...his lean form silhouetted in his tight leather trousers. He tried walking over to her, but found it difficult, as the trousers had cut off the blood flow to his lower extremities, and his foot had fallen asleep

I did the same thing with Kalle that I did with Delft.🧡
#CATCF #CharlieandTheChocolateFactory #Orange #Twink #Poor #Fiction #Swedish #PurpleProse #CharlieBucket #GrandpaJoe #Death #Gacha #GachaLife #GachaLife2
Here is Kalle Hink, & he's greeting us, though considering that he's swedish I'll have to translate what he says from here on. He got average grades during his time in school, he doesn't have that much strength in his body, his family is the poorest in all of Sweden for several generations now, he not that healthy due to living in a shack with his mum & dad which can't store heat for those cold winters & the fact the family can only afford food for the entire family for 3 of the 7 days of the week, his father has a job screwing toothpaste caps on which pays a piddling amount. But he is kind & caring to his family & for those in need, & once more he has a creative mind, making up things you only find in your dreams. Now most of these ideas focus on sweets cuz that's what he craves most, something he can only have on his birthday which he tries to make last for almost a year by only taking a small nibble of the treat a month. But there are are some things that do dampen his spirit being (1. People ingore or belittle him for being poor, having an imagination, or being a bit Fruity, & (2. His grandparents no longer being of this mortal coil, having died of old age during his teens, with his favourite & best friend being Josef Hink who would tell him stories that felt like fairytales be he would insist were real, the scarf he wears is actually his grandpa Josef's old scarf that he wears all the time now in remembrance.

Sitting at home during a stormy day, I come to think of this opening phrase of #purpleprose. Did you know that the term traces back to #Horace?
inceptis gravibus plerumque et magna professis / purpureus, late qui splendeat, unus et alter / adsuitur pannus (1/x)

An einem stürmischen Tag kommt mir dieser Anfangssatz der #purpleprose in den Sinn. Wusstet ihr, dass der Ausdruck von #Horaz stammt?
