Finally done

Sun Nov 15, 2009, 9:33 PM
Man, that's a short story for having taken so long. I've just had so much on my plate lately now that I'm back in college; hell, I've still got four more pretty big projects to finish apart from this, but I figured I might as well get it over with.

Not sure what I'm going to start working on next for myself. I might post a review I'm doing of Food Inc. along with a paper I'm doing on the effects of internet anonymity.

Holymotherofgod, my first favorite! I've got a fanbase and everything, now!

Do you have to pester me about all the little mistakes I make? All I want is how you liked the chapter, NOT how I wrote it. It's my style and I can do it whatever I want. So please cut the crap next time you review Universal Man and just tell me how the chapter is. Because finding your really long posts is getting annoying.

Eh, His, I do feel the need to point out that again, this comes down to if you WANT to get this story published or not. For example

"All I want to know is how you liked the chapter, NOT how I wrote it. Its my style and I can do whatever I want"

NOT if you plan on getting it published. I would LOVE to see someone take that attitude with a professional literary critic or a publisher. You bring it in, riddled with mechanical errors and when they say "Wow! You really need to edit this up. X-amount of mechanical errors that need to be fixed" And you say it is your style so you can do whatever you want, Im afraid not. Not if you want it published. Yes you can have your own writing style but it CAN'T violate the laws of literature.

Another point if you want it published, if you don't like long reviews then I suggest you either A) Don't plan on getting it published B) Plan on being the laughing stock of the literary world. I can just imagine, some professional critic reads it and gives it an INCREDIBLY LONG, PICKY, ACADEMIC review completely dissecting every single word in the story. Your reply "I DON'T WANT TO READ YOUR LONG REVIEW! JUST TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT"

Trust me, you won't be highly regarded in the literary community.

My point being, if you DON'T Want to get it published then yes, you are 100% right in your claim. If you DO plan on having The Universal Man published you are going to need to A) Learn to fix mechanics without assuming that it is your style so you can break as many grammatical laws you like B) To read long reviews.

You need to know that I want my stories to make it as cartoons or as video games really.

Hmm. Well if you are going for Cartoons or video games that is a different matter.... I mean if you are going for books mechanics is a BIG deal. But video games and cartoons... perhaps not so much.
:iconhis-world1225:
Yeah. The way I write stories, I try and imagine the scene playing out in my head as I type it. Sometimes, I'll imagine the scene over and over in my head while listening to music (it helps). I think I tell stories better by pictures, not by words.

These "little mistakes" affect how I like the chapter. The inconsistencies and grammar mistakes make it difficult to enjoy.

You have every right to develop your own style. I am simply trying to help because, to be perfectly frank, what you have right now isn't very good. You mention in your profile that you would like to be a writer; you won't be able to they way you write as of now. Trust me on this. Publishing companies are immensely more picky than I am.
:iconhis-world1225:
Well, for right now, post SHORT messages! Or else maybe I won't listen to them.
