Re: Your stylistic quirks too precious to give up

Well, yes, if you thought paintings of the 18th century were the apex of art and what people strived to achieve through most of history, I can see why you'd hold similar beliefs about invisible prose.

cyrt Invisible prose is very much *not* what people strove for in writing in the 18th century... but it is the most common style now. So, yeah, someone assuming that's the default for English prose in the 21st century is approximately as correct as someone in 18th century France was about painting.

Coalie please, I’m begging you. Go look at some paintings in real life.

If I look at a story with "invisible prose" I will also see words! Curious.

Coalie, you need to learn a) how it's possible to use the word "invisible" to describe something that it's literally possible to see if you get up close and look really hard (is it... is it figurative language??? Oh no! Fancy prose!!) and b) that "I want people to pay attention to the images I am creating and not the tools I used to do it" is not the same as "tools don't exist."

Coalie please, I don’t need more confirmation that you don’t know what you’re talking about. I already figured that out. Painting are just really cool and I think it’d be nice for you to go see them.
