A wondeful opportunity for creative endeavors
Daily NeedsNo warnings, no messages, I was just sent home early and told that tomorrow may be my last day.
So it seems that I now have more time to work on my writing. Yays!
I'd like to feel upset about this, but I just frankly can't bring myself to care.
Worst case scenario; I live off of cereal and breadcrumbs until I either find another job or starve to death. (Or until the student loan people show up and harvest my organs...)
I know that I'll be OK in the end. I always am. I'll be miserable, tired, and having to watch those around me have both opportunities and privileges that I can only dream of,
But fuck it,
That's all I've ever known anyway.
That is "Normal" to me. I'll still be alive,I'll still fight tooth and nail for what I believe in, and I'll still be a stubborn little son of a bitch.
I KNOW that there is nothing wrong with me. I am not being punished, and I am not to blame for the delightful little hell that I have lived through.
And hopefully, I'm smart enough to know that it may get better some day.
As Browning put it:
If gods be strong and wicked, man, though weak, may prove their match by willing to be good.
Or as I put it:
BRING IT ON!!!

On the net, you can walk up to someone and smile at them, and no one can tell if it is a simple, polite gesture, or if you have one of those twisted, Stewie Griffin smile on your face.
Thanks for the comment.

Simply posting your works merits any visits you get. I'd be FAR more interested in obtaining honest critiques if I were you.
If you REALLY want to thank me, try reading a few of my works and offering a critique of your own.
And above all:
Keep writing and learning.

And as for maturity, I only meant in the broad term of plot analysis; Care Bears vs. Gulliver's travels. I had no intention of calling you immature. I only meant to infer that your plot may need maturing.
Forgive me if I lack the ability to grasp the story from your perspective; I'm not a mind-reader. Being able to present your work in a manner that expresses your perspective is YOUR job.
Yes, keeping the readers confused at the start makes sense; after all, they're the newcomers to the story. And seeing a stark reality placed before them can have a wondrous effect in piquing the curiosity. But too much too fast will KEEP readers confused, and that's a bad thing.
If you don't think that you can explain it without giving away plot, then maybe you could try slowing the plot progression down a little to allow for readers to catch up with the characters emotions and feelings. You'd be surprised at how effective that can be for establishing a plot.
Allowing for a contained sense of mundanity (I think that's a word)in your plots creates a great deal of believability, and makes it easier for readers to connect with characters. (even superman has to go to the bathroom.)
I don't mean to criticize, only to critique.
I respect your efforts, but I won't sugarcoat anything for someone I respect.
That is a matter of principle.
