Posted by aquanibAre you for real? I offered writing exercises because I was asked to. And no, I don't see where you're coming from. I can't even be bothered to reply to this load of crap.Posted by HappyCapperI posted something of mine for the first time in a thread of yours. How can you say i'm afraid to get criticized, it was there, in the open....
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.
As for credentials, the meaning of the word is: a qualification, achievement, quality, or aspect of a person's background, especially when used to indicate their suitability for something.
I am asking you not for your personal details, but just on what grounds you think you are suitable to give constructive criticism rather than an opinion. You build up credibility with that info, people will take you more seriously. Assuming you want to be taken seriously?
I am not trying to be confrontational here, just asking.
Do try to understand where i'm coming from, you did try to put yourself up there with sharing writing lessons. By definition that means you should be great. For constructive criticism, you don't need to be great per se, but you can't be much lower than that either.
The one thing where you went slightly above random stranger with an opinion is when you as part of your assignment wrote i should "show, don't tell". With all due respect but that is written on "every" internet writer's guide, not that i read that many, they were mainly about tips on infrastructure of writing, stuff like formatting, chapters, what writing software is best etc etc
As for you and brutal honesty, i would say to you to go ahead, share constructive criticism on that post of mine in your thread if you want, but i feel you're like too emotional for that now, you'd be subjective.
In any case If it's not okay, i wouldn't shed a tear, writing is a side side project, no problem if i'm not that good at it.

Posted by SoulI knew you were joking.🙂 I will give you plenty of time for the assignments, though. Please join - if anyone can come up with something really creative, it's a leo, right? Just looking at your creative process is interesting.🙂Posted by HappyCapperWell your a cap so I've already failed. My creative process is basically pulling garbage and nonsense from thin air and molding it into a prettier version of garbage and nonsense pulled from thin air.Posted by SoulAww. Suuuch a pity for you that I'm the judge and not you.😏
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.
😉
Join, and see if you could entertain me just as much, then, why don't you?🙂
Tbh I was joking around. Call it being insecure, but I enjoy writing much more when it's not a competition. I'm like 50 50 on the whole creative writing thing. I don't care about my reputation, so that means I can't write just about whatever I want. Eventually I'll say so much bs that something golden comes out. People will find it extremely true, relatable, or extremely enjoyable.
Basically what I'm saying is I don't work under pressure. I only work with my own rules and my own format.

Posted by TrueFantasyOoo! Thank you! Correcting that. NOW!Posted by HappyCapperJANUARY— Looool I just realised you meant June 😆Posted by TrueFantasyRight now, I just wanted to see if there was any interest at all. I was thinking 30 januari 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.🙂
When does the competition start so I don't miss it? cause I might eat when it commences 😐click to expand
Posted by TrueFantasyEhrm...the great and immense honor of being the dxp writing champion, according to moi...?😏

I have now posted "The Writing Competition" as a new thread, also in the writing section. It includes the first assignment.
Good luck, all!🙂
