I think you don't get why I'm pissed at you. Let me explain.

When someone takes the time to post a story they have written online, they are eager to hear feedback, and hopeful that it will be good. Writers are very touchy about their work because its little peices of them put into words.

The last thing they want is a smart comment about one word and then hear about how you didn't bother to read the story to begin with. That is not appreciated. Sorry if I lit into you a little, but we writers are a touchy lot. .

No, I know that. I write things. I used to post them on sites. I know how eager the feedback level is on things. But you shoul still be open to questions nonetheless.

And my question was why you chose the French word. And finally, you answered it. Thank you.

And dont tell me how writers are. I've been writing various random poems/songs/stories/scripts since I was 8 years old. I know what writers want to hear. But you have to conclude that this is an internet forum. It isnt a catch-all for desperate writers starving for feedback on any medium.


Edit:

PS. I'm sort of disapointed you didnt take up the "That is redundant and pointless" thing I said. I was hoping if I lobbed one up, you'd take it instead of smacking the umpire in the balls with the bat when you get the chance.

Oh good lord, why didn't you say that to begin with. I thought you were making some sort of poor attempt at making a smart comment about my story.

You were just talking about that one word, not making a bad joke about the whole piece. Jesus, I feel like deleting 90% of the posts in this thread now. LOL!

Well, yeah, it was the one word. I even said I didnt read the story, so I dont know how you could get the idea that I--......wait...did you revert to a 14 year old girl and just say "LOL!".

Strangie, I'm scared. We resolved this. And we're joking around.

Signs of the Apocalypse....


I finally got around to reading the story. It was good, but something about it. It didn't really draw me in. I liked it though

Its really just the prologue. The real story starts with the intro of Thorin and the flashback as to why Gilbert is all beat up. I hope it turns out well, I just haven't had a chance to work on it in a couple days. I'm going to get back to it Sunday night.

Tonight, I'm seeing Ron White at the Tower Theater.
