Talk About It! discussion

Basically, ways of talking about anything cool we've written personally!

I don't write stories or poems or anything like that but I would like to sometime in the future.

Cool, it's simple enough to begin!

I personally find it pretty hard to start out, but once you are started it kind of flows, unless you are under pressure.

@ György, you write enough amazing things anyway :)

Haha thanks, Emily. I've always wanted to write my own poems to set to music but after reading what you wrote today I realised that I would never be able to match that talent. I'll have to stick to composing. :(

:) It's not as great as you are making it out to be. I can't see much talent in what I wrote, it doesn't even make sense.

But your composing is talent :)

I am yet to read better poetry from an under 30 year old. My composing isn't that good, I've got a long way to go.

That's a handful of my things, but I must say that Emily's rhythm beats mine in her poetry hands down. Mine is more about the poetic ideas...

Also the way I go about writing G, is to come up with a thought and write based on that. What if such and such were to happen... for instance.

*blushing* thanks. I am no Alfred Lord Tennyson though. And never will be. :D

A living under 30 year old.

Thanks :)

I used to think writing a book was easy, but I was rather stupid back then.

The first time I tried to write a book--and I think some people can relate to me on this--it was so god-awful that simply rereading it embarrassed me. Right now it's in the garbage can, exactly where it belongs.

To answer your question...Unfortunately I have not written anything cool, anything resembling cool, even anything as a pathetic imitation of cool. I do aspire to be an author one day, and hopefully I won't make a fool of myself in the publishing world.....*hopeful face*

Alright...I know I haven't written anything in ages. Other than the links I've put up here but I thought I'd post up this link for those who are interested.

A mate of mine who is into writing short superhero based stories. Interesting idea if you like superheroes!

I have millions of stories on my computer, but I've only ever finished one in my entire life. It wa extremely short, and really poorly written (because I was eight/nine), and about half the characters dies by the sixth-and last-chapter.

I have a few in progress stories on my page, and a short story or two if anyone's interested.

I've written a few stories on Goodreads.

What were/are they about?

I like writing. I've written some okayish poems and some (not finished) stories. I wouldn't say any of it qualifies as 'cool' though...

The stories I've written are Pokemon fanfics about the Pokemon I have in Pokemon White 2.

Cool:)

Can anyone explain why I'm an awful writer even though I love reading? People say that readers are good writers. Or maybe I'm not an awful writer, I just don't like what I write. Or maybe it's because I don't like writing.

Well one thing is that I've found that the best writers have their own consistent voice and have worked out what that is. Good readers are generally better writers because they are able to combine different ideas into their own style. However, writing is also a lot about thinking, reading a lot merely helps that thinking so reading a lot isn't going to help you write unless you're looking at ways to think carefully about how to best work what you want to say into a narrative.
