Rant #11: Forum/RP writers

Todays rant, brought to you by the letter asdfasdn nv. And your fellow "writers."

Okay, I've been trying to get people who know their way around a dictionary and a thesaurus to help me with a new RP that I can never seem to find. I told them that what I really need is people with grammatical skill, and that size wasn't the issue. So now no one wants in. They say that I'm not honoring advanced lit and throwing their copies of whatever $2 paper back they've written lately in my face. Look people, I don't know who you've been reading but when I read I don't want an entire ten pages devoted to what the freakin' cat looks like. Hemingway, one of the greatest writers of all time, was known for writing only the bare minimum. Personaly, I write way too much and that causes my readers to get bored. Look you have to know the threshold, and if you think that takes four paragraphs than okay. If you can fit "He moved the exact muscles and atoms in his knuckles and bones to push the air out of the way in front of him to quickly bring the entire concoction to the meat flesh of his opponents frontal, and upper body," into "He punched the guy," then more power to you. Like I'm saying, too much is too much. Although, on the oppisite side is true as well, if you simply say, "They fight (George Lucas style)," then you will NEVER GET PUBLISHED!

Anyway I needed to get this out. I'm a writer too, and people who claim quantity over quality piss me off. There is no judgement or reason to it. All they think it is is writing for the sake of words. Let me tell you something, if that's all you want to do, then you might as well hit your head on the keyboard, then after you've hit every key at least seven times hit Ctrl+C then hit Ctrl+V a few times. You'll rack up an easy fifteen chapters that way, and hey, you haven't even finished getting to the climax...

...there we go.

So I hope I have thoroughly pissed off any writers out there and I sure hope that you all give me your honest feedback, because god knows I crave that shit.


So long everybody, and have a happy Lobotomy.

Rock On-
