I'm not attacking you, or Alrik, or anyone else, Winterfox <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I just don't think it hurts to be at least a
little gentle with each other, no? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Not every writer writes for the same reason - and that is especially true of amateurs, such as all of us here are (With the notable exception of Rhianna, of course <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />).
You or I could doubtless rip each other's work to shreds, for example - but why would we want to? What would it achieve? Would either of us feel better for having done so? I know I wouldn't, and I doubt you would either.
Whether we could take the criticism or not, neither of us would be improved by it.
I myself try to help other writers improve through my 'how to' guides and helping them move forward one step at a time if they ask me for advice. I'm not a great writer myself by any means, but I like to think I am reasonably competent, and what I know I will happily share with others.
All writers, without exception, have room to improve - you know this as well as I do. But you did not reach your current standard (Which is pretty good, IMO) overnight, and neither does anyone else. Advancement is a slow and steady process, and none of us can absorb too much too soon.
We must all learn to walk before we can run, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Again - this is
not an attack on you, Winterfox, merely some friendly advice, from one amateur writer to another <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
