You posted, not I posted, that doesn't even make sense!
I'll wait for you. I need to focus on Jack and Benny. I'll still probably be unable to write anything for a while because the Witcher has consumed my life, but I should be done with it soon. Still, I guess this is as good a time as any to ask you the same question about my writing. I can definitely relate to the comics I posted, but I still try and try again, though I do sometimes wonder if this isn't a lost cause. They recently wrote me back from a contest and they told me that they enjoyed the story but won't publish it. Bet they tell that to all the contestants
Very true. I'll get back to you with the other project when I'm feeling a little less moody. If you have another story idea you want to toss around, feel free to run it my way while I gather my thoughts.
Never really got the impression you're someone who acts like they're awesome or something. You know what you like and what bothers you and some people just take it very personally when you criticize what they like. If only professional writers had the right to criticize, well, we wouldn't have as robust a set of opinions online as we have, now would we.
Got called out on whether I'm really as good as I act like I am, and it got me thinking on the matter.
Well, you've come to the right place. I'm not known for sugar-coating stuff. Just ask Formy Short answer: yes, you are. Long answer: like any writer, you have your strengths and weaknesses. Your main strengths are world-building, a unique perspective on a lot of popular tropes, and ideas for plots with strong twists that feel meaningful and appropriate. Surprising, but not out of place. Your main weakness is your relative lack of practice, I think. While the writing I've read flows generally nicely, I feel there are places that need some smoothing out. Your narrative descriptions could use some work, though your dialogue is strong in general. But these are really just practical elements - something that can be easily improved by just reading and writing more. You've got the creative side down and that's really good because I feel it's harder to work that out than the writing workshop. With creativity, you either have it or you don't, and while you can work at it, it's a much more abstract process to learn it than to learn the actual craft. Why do you ask now, all of a sudden?
Be honest with me since you've actually read some of my stuff, am I a good writer?
There's no hurry on that front. I'm like up to 92 now I think.
Same. I am heartbroken in the best way possible. Need to catch up with your list, btw! Will do it soon!
Everything comes to an end, and I tend to love bittersweet endings.
