From one writer to another |
TO WRITE OR NOT TO I have not written anything for some time now, on the long road of literature I now find myself stopped in a lay-by. Not due to writers block, by the way, more along the lines of frustration, discomfort and misunderstanding. I have been a member on this site for several years, so this is not the ramblings of some frustrated newbee. I first joined this site to improve my skills which then, were akin to the stone age (lol). But as time went on my skills improved, as did my confidence. Now I never set out on this road to be the best, only to be the best that I could be. Along the way i encountered pain, disappointment and heartache. But not being one to fall at the first hurdle, I continued to pick myself up and persevere. One thing that I have discovered however, is that the better you get, the less reviews you seem to get, or is that just me? Take for instance my last contribution to my port, over 140 views but only 2 comments, what's up with that? I do however still get the occasional suggestion about changing this or that, now over time I have developed a certain style to my writing, now, some may fail to understand what I am attempting to put across or think that it should be put a different way. But if I did change it, it would not be me, if that makes any sense. I now Find myself without the desire to write anything, although I have many ideas. So this is my dilemma, do I sit where I am? do I start along the road again? or do I just give it all up and call it a day? Yours Respectfully STORYMAN1 |
