Heya, thanks for coming to see my page. I am here to return the favor.

*waltzes into library*

Why would I think you're better than me? o.0 You were simply offering. ^_^ If you wanna.

Hi and welcome to the woods! Hope your writing block goes away very soon ... I'm just getting over a bout of it myself ... so I understand what you're going through. If you are ever looking for ideas or inspiration, just pop over to my page. I'm the founder of a group called inkwell artisans, which hands out approximately monthly challenges with different topics for the group and then we all get to see the different ways our minds work by how we take the topic and change it to suit our style. For example, the first project they were given three topics, "the seer, the witch, and the vision", and had to make a story out of it. If you're interested, drop me a line on my page and I'll send you the info about the latest project. And if that one doesn't suit, tomorrow I'm designing the next challenge while I'm at work, so maybe that one might suit better.

Hello there! I've dropped by to give you some tips. Please be prepared. I'm critiquing your work, not you as a person. And now that the ugly stuff is done, we can get down to business.

Different authors have different ways to give themselves enough room to experiment and stretch their senses. You have given yourself far too much room. Instead of just forward, left, or right, you've given yourself up as well--along with every half, quarter, and semi left and right out there. You need to fill in details, provide transitions between scenes--and above all--connect those details. You are far too vague. Being enigmatic is best used for foreshadowing, not in regular prose, and constantly at that. I think that you're trying to allow the reader to make some assumptions about your characters when you--and the reader--would be perfectly happy with knowing every detail.

If you are looking for ways to help your writing improve, I would suggest Elfwood's FARP and the book, "The Elements of Style," which tells you exactly that. In addition, the best present you can give yourself is time. Narrow your thinking with brainstorming or daydreaming. No great work magically appears; every author who ever lived struggled to write, I can promise you that.

Vici L. Mahone replies: "Woe, never thought of it THAT way... Hm, I might actually try that. Thanx 4 the comment!"

Nice start to your page, I'd be interested in seeing more of your work.

Toodels

I'll be back. Mwuhhaahh.

*waves* I wandered this way after your lovely comment on one of my stories. I thought I'd better return the favor!

You've got a good start here. I'd like to see more of your stories and your poetry. Oh, and writer's block sucks. I know. I've been suffering from it for a while now.

*waves* heylo ^_^

Back in May sometime, you left me a nice comment on my main page. . . I said I'd return the favor later that week, but unfortunately, it has taken me almost three weeks to get back to you! Sorry

But you have a nice library here

hey!
sorry it took me so long to get here, every now and then, I gotta disconnect my pc or I never get any work done

*strolls into the library* if you need me, you can find me in one of the sub-sections with a book in my hands

Anyone want to tell me how to add a new story? I can't figure it out...
