I don't know how well known it is that I like to read, ALOT. I also do a bit of writing (mostly sad poems that I am embarrased for most people to read...) So I belong to a forum for reading and writing. People can post their own personal short stories and poems if they like and elicit feedback from other members. This is something I came across today that was just...simply amazing! Quote:

I don't wish to seem unkind, but the only thing that strikes me as "utterly amazing" about your piece is it's sheer incomprehensibility. It seems that you are trying out some sort of imitation of stream of consciousness. It may serve you better to hone your skills with more straight forward prose and when you master THAT to the best of your ability, then try to be more "creative". Even Faulkner and Joyce wrote prose that was straight forward and their steam of consciousness (although not hugely accessible) was not random nonsense words on a page....it did make sense after a fashion. So, what I really wanted to say was what a bunch of stale dog poo I thought that little "story" was, but I tried to be diplomatic. In my defense, the person was asking for feedback. I feel a bit bad about it, but not bad enough to edit my post. It is truly awful writing.... blogs: |
