I've realised from these past few days that I'm not such a good writer. For two reasons:
# I've looked at works of other people of my age and they're better than mine, all irritation aside.
# I write stories on fanfiction and i normally get good reviews until recently I haven't.
It strikes me as intolerable that I feel that I am capable to write when a good writer should be modest. I get irritated when I get bad reviews. Is that so wrong? I reply to the reviews, trying to be as nice as I can but I find it hard. And I know that's stupid. That people are trying to help. (Except for those warts who actually LIKE critisizing people while their stories aren't so brilliant either.)
I know how bad it feels, like a dagger - a million of them - piercing your heart at a review which says things like "You need more training" and "How could you write something like that??" so I make it a point to give good reviews to the stories I read on fanfiction, because I also happen to know how warm it feels when someone appreciates you for once. But if I think the story is actually pretty bad, I use constructive critisism. And I know it would still hurt the person reading it, so at the end, I show them the parts of the story i liked. If, however, I didn't like the story at all, I just leave it without a word.
The point of this blog is that when you review something or tell the person about the story, think about how they feel. If you feel that this blog is pointless, I probably agree with u!!! -_-'
PS - i had NOTHING to write about
