Am having the crappiest crap day ever and some schmoopy TrickC (at home, with BBQ and a lovely day is a good start but friends or no, you pick) would be a wonderful thing right now. Hell, just some schmoop would be shiny. ;-)

as much as i appreciate the writing lesson, i would have appreciated a thank you instead of OR before the "oh, i liked this, but i can't enjoy it because you don't write well" vibe set in. and i do have a beta for my fiction journal, but i don't ever feel the need to use her for ficlits AND i used a spell checker; i always type these in a word document before i post them. nobody has ever really complained about my writing style before this, so i never thought it was an issue. i have to pat myself on the back for not making some of the typical mistakes in writing, but maybe i do need some work.

but a thank you would have been nice beforehand. please keep that in mind ;)

I guess I'm confused. Should I have said thank you, but??

And I ALWAYS have someone go over everything I write before posting. Always. They always catch stuff (even the little things) that I don't. The other thing to remember is that a spell check isn't going to catch if you type "then" and meant "the."

nobody has ever really complained about my writing style before this, so i never thought it was an issue.

I may be the only one with a complaint then. Or I could be the only one that's dared to be the bad guy and speak up. I have no idea.

you're not a bad guy - someone should have pointed it out to me sooner. i'm actually a journalism major, so i'm not formally used to writing in the creative sense. i put a creative spin on my stories, but it's still journalism after all.
