Your other thread was kinda the same style , asking people tp post their stuff, reason given was kinda hogwash imho...."wanting to test my astro theories on mercury aspects"....like wut.?!?

LOL. You're even more paranoid than I am. What's wrong with having a theory and wanting to test it? If you don't want to post anything, then don't.

@RumiL hmm i think there was some problems between the DB and the Website (html) after the maintenance on friday ^^@HappyCapper nooo...i am terribluuu! 😆 but i will keep bumping your thread untill you got enough people to do this 😉
Aww. Really?
LOL Thanks.😉
@Happy -- Creative writing.. I was going to put up topics(prompts) and members could weave a story or anything surrounding that, in 300 words or so.. 🙂
(Basically, the topics I was given when I was forced to participate in CW 😐 or more depending on participation)
LOL. You're even more paranoid than I am. What's wrong with having a theory and wanting to test it? If you don't want to post anything, then don't.
I was just checking you. if it's worthy of my time to invest in your homework given to me in the writing lessons thread and this competition.
No offense.

I didn't give you anything you didn't ask for.

Ah. Cool! Then post it! It seems to me many want to write...but doesn't really until they feel some kind of motivation or pressure to do so...which is part of the reason why I started this thread. Having a creative outlet is often very rewarding, imo.
You were forced to participate in CW in school?

Lady, relax, there's no problems, i don't regret posting that in the writing thread.
I got some feedback and since i've never ever given anything of mine to read to anyone, the A- grade i got from an anonymous internet user makes me feel good lol.
Truth be told, when i read his critique, i melted a little inside out of joy 😄 😄 😄
I might even write that assignment you gave me....
click to expand
Must say, getting honest feedback from people is really rewarding, for me at least. I mean, you could always ask your bff what they think and listen to how great you are whatever you wrote...and you won't learn anything.
Look, I don't claim to be Dostojevskij, but a person prepared to give you my honest(brutal) assessment about your contribution. That's what I can offer. My thought for the competition was to give the contestants the option to ask my opinion about their texts if they wanted it.
If you want, I could give you my honest opinion(and I am indeed brutally honest, but constructive) on what you submitted in the other thread and give you the reason why I chose the exercise I gave you.

Problem here is, if i do not know what or who you are, i cannot put a correct value to your opinion.
Opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got one, so if you don't have any credentials (or willing to provide) to give weight to your claim of being able to provide constructive criticism...

I'm a Virgo so, by default, I am qualified. Plus I have 3 Leo placements for creativity.
I just want to SEE SNIPPETS.
I want to see your writing style ....
you all have seen mine. it's all on this writing forum.
but I wanna see yours.

I certainly do. It's interesting that you did get something out of another internet stranger's views, though. Just one thing: when/if your book is published, who do you think is going to be your reader? That's right, random strangers like me. Well, I wish you luck and publication.
Posted by SensitiveBlues
so is there going to be a topic that everyone has to write on? and a timeline?this is a great way to write
I will give you three different assignments(one at a time) and a timeline for each. 🙂
Posted by SensitiveBlues
how about poetry?
You will get the chance to write poetry(not for all of the assignments, though), but it's going to be optional.

He was content reading your comments, though. Apparently, I didn't have enough virgo/leo placements.😉 Will you participate? Yes you will. Say yes!🙂

no real writers allowedthat's not fair
Everyone is allowed - I couldn't possibly know who is a real life writer and who isn't.

I just want to SEE SNIPPETS.I want to see your writing style ....

You will be able to see everyone's contributions. Why don't you participate?🙂
there should be NO RULES!!!
just let it flow people.
that's how it should be. FLOWY and Effortless.
edit - just write something you want to be placed in, time and place, and characters, that's all. it's not hard.
Posted by ParisianCappy
can i write in french?
Absolutely - any language you want. Unfortunately, I would probably be bored to tears by not being able to understand anything, so you'd probably lose, but... sure.😄

I already have my writing on this forum.
so I wanna see some published writers on here. (some of you said you are published)
Posted by SensitiveBlues
nice, i love being forced to do something
Imo, so many people really want to write but never get around to doing it...until they get a kick in the ass, and many produce their best work in that situation, in their opinion.🙂

if you have a deadline to publish something you NEED to, or else your publisher won't trust you anymore.
I certainly do. It's interesting that you did get something out of another internet stranger's views, though. Just one thing: when/if your book is published, who do you think is going to be your reader? That's right, random strangers like me. Well, I wish you luck and publication.
True, he was a stranger, but unlike you, he doesn't claim he can provide lessons or constructive criticism.
You do. You made a claim. I asked what position do you have to make that claim....que crickets chirping (i am overlooking the last two sentences and the thinly veiled whatever that is)
What is there to add?
I'm sorry but that's just how it is.
click to expand
LOL You make absolutely no sense. So you'd rather listen to someone who doesn't claim anything rather than to a person who claims to be able to do it? Besides, I never claimed I was great at it - just that I have an opinion and that I'm not afraid to express it...and that I'm constructive.
And no, I will not give you any credentials since you're an Internet stranger. You don't need to be sorry; all I'm doing right now is to try to understand where you're coming from. Tbh, it feels like you're just afraid to get criticized...which is very common, so I don't blame you. But idk, ofc. Nvm.
All the best!

When does the competition start so I don't miss it? cause I might eat when it commences 😐
Right now, I just wanted to see if there was any interest at all. I was thinking 30 june at 19:00 CET, so that I have time to really think everything through. And, don't worry, you will get plenty of time to write - I'd rather read good and thought-out texts than something sloppy.🙂

This is the competition thread. If you specifically want an exercise(except that all writing assignments are exercises, more of less, ofc...🙂), please turn to the other thread. The assignment for the competition will be posted 30 june at somewhere around 19:00 CET and all will get the same assignment for this round. Good luck!🙂
Happppyyyyyy!

I want to know if there's any time limit for our submissions 🙂 ??
If I'm up agains all of you that's pretty unfair, since I entertain myself 100 times more then any of you do. I've never changed my style or gave a shit to impress any of you either.
