    I'm actually a good Mystery and Sci-Fi writer. Otherwise, I suck.

    I think I suck at writing and I really don't like it. So, it suprises me that I always got A's for it.

    As for my writing style, it's been pretty consistently compared to that of Lovecraft. I love long, winding, confusing sentences and archaisms.


    EDIT: Now, to separate the men from the malchicks, who uses double spaces after colons? I admit to it.

    Why? I wrote it to contribute to the thread. I never write to put in threads. That's drawing more attention to myself than needed, unless you really suggest it.

    In my opinion, that's very good writing, Hambone.

    THANK YOU! It's part of the reason why I get A's in English.

    I do not write, fearing that may lead to a paper trail and a possible way of tracking me down.

    I've always been fairly good at English and writing, myself. It is heavily involved in my chosen career path, after all.
