Not really a grammer problem, or literary problem.
« on: April 06, 2008, 04:38:21 AM »
Ok, for some reason...well, I guess after my whole deal with my parents. MY mom has bitched at me and made my life miserable, and I have NO freedom what so ever...so you people are all I have now. And I have had a GIANT writers block, I can\'t roleplay, write songs, or even so much as draw and or write stories.

Someone, please help me...and I can\'t even figure out where to put commas, or colons anymore...I need some help. Someone please tell me what to do.

Your creative block is very obviously directly related to your situation now.  I recommend using writing as a way to get all the shit out before you can try to be creative.  If you have a blog or some kind of place to write down your thoughts, you should use that and write down everything you feel.  It can be good self-therapy, to not bottle it up and write down all your anger and frustration.


As for the improvements; I can see improvements in your writing already, Raff.  I\'m not a teacher so the only way I can help you is as you write by offering my opinion and making suggestions, via critique.

You\'ve put your story \'The Elegant Life of a Half-Demon\' in the RPC Library and not in the Critiquing section, so I won\'t critique it.  If you wish to reconsider this, PM me and I\'ll move it.

I joined a writer\'s group a long time ago and when I submitted a story they critiqued every sentence and many concepts.  Their critique was constructive but I was humiliated.  Next week, next meeting, I came back much to their surprise and they congratulated me on it because I proved I wanted to learn.  We can\'t be sensitive about our work.  They helped me a long way, I saw major improvements in my writing after a few weeks.

What I do at Roleplay City when I PM with suggestions and pointers is a little bit what they did for me but I remember the humiliation so I don\'t go overboard with it - this is supposed to be a place to have fun after all.
