Well yes, yes?
Interesting comments from many, as usual, much praise to Roboartemis for her genius also, reminding us all to listen to our teachers.
Heh, reminded me of my Junior comp teacher who taught me how to deal with a piece of writing that's being difficult: throw your draft on the floor and leave it there while you go for a walk or something. For DAYS if need be, but don't pick it up again until you're ready to face it.
That was more a vent than anything. I'm not a great writer, none of us probably are, but we're learning. If you've got a passion for writing, then yeah, study it in college and maybe you can get paid to write someday. God knows I'm banking my future on that idea, heh. You're going to get a lot of criticism in your life, so learn to build from it and use what's given to you. Yeah, it won't all be useful, hell, half of it probably will be ignorant, but it can still give you some insight into your own work...insight removed from yourself. If you can get that kind of feedback for free, more power to ya, right?
At the risk of being a jerk, I just MUST comment on what Mr. JD Person has said in my comments from the last post:
1. "i thank you for telling me that there are some still not satisfied with my work."
-Well...are YOU satisfied with your work? Satisfaction really only goes to a point, doesn't it? I mean, how many times have you revised your writing? Once, twice, twenty times?
I'm really just trying to gauge how serious this thing is supposed to be. I mean, are you writing it like it's supposed to be a novel? If you're aiming for that, your format isn't very cohesive to such an idea.
2. "if i fail to meet yourexpectations i think i'll still be a writing god to many, but i'd still like to suck slightly less under your rubric."
- You are a writing god to many? I cannot respond to this in any way without being "mean" so I shan't say a thing. Suffice to say, my rubric comes from one studying writing in college. You're what, high school? You've got time to learn if you're serious about writing, or if you're not, file this away under generic shitty fanfiction on the internet.
Personally, I just like trying to help people out, because I've been in love with writing far longer than I could write. I was (and still am) full of grandiose storylines, and that's key, but your actual execution of those stories will take time and refinement if you are willing to give it to them.
T.M.O is still kinda delayed. Three writing assignments at once has killed my will to control the mouse.
