From one piece 13. Many Paths, To and From 4 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Writers should take their writing seriously without being too serious about it.

Their words

Take your writing seriously, but don’t be so serious about it.

Writing need not be toil or pain, and it need not be done alone.

Their words

To dispel notions of writing as toil, as penance, or as pain. It can be—but it doesn’t have to be. And it doesn’t have to happen alone.

Writers need not take all the feedback they get; knowing the core of the work is part of writing it.

Their words

I suggest that not all feedback is feedback they have to take; that knowing the core of your work, and the voices that might nurture it, is as much a part of the writing as putting words to the page.

Writers are never writing for everyone; their choices always pick out an intended reader.

Their words

this idea that we are never writing for everyone, simply by virtue of the choices we are making. Not everyone is our intended reader; some readers get to eavesdrop.

A nature writer writing about the world's future should bring their child into the field, because it is the child's future.

Their words

As I write about the future of the world, doesn't it only make sense that I bring her along? It's her future, anyway.

The Grassling

Their words

I think the reason I really like The Grassling is that she chooses to write about her father’s home, and her father’s side was the white, British half of her family.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
