    My Decision

    That's a shame, though I feel I should point out that you don't create controversy - people are pretty unanimous in their reactions to your posts. If anything, you create harmony.

    I did say that we only see evidence of the writing, not the other two. My point is that you are constantly given varying degrees of helpful advice to your 'writing' posts and forum members have shown great patience, but you rarely, if ever, show the gratitude and respect due by coming back to...

    We certainly see evidence of writing everyday. Shame about the other two.

    I Just Wrote This...

    Now, I am sure you said you weren't going to try writing, sorry, publishing your work until you had grasped the basics of language, but I will try and offer some advice. On the whole, you have extended your analogy/metaphor far too much in such a short passage and it only serves to confuse...

    Maybe not. Do you really consider yourself good enough at English to be a proof reader? Your writing and the general syntax of your posts would be evidence to the contrary.

    Salman Rushdie: The Enchantress Of Florence

    You won't review it anyway, let's be honest. Unless you count posting an excerpt on your blog.

    Do You Believe...?

    I would hazard a guess that your opening posts have a unique oddness about them, and subsequent posts are grammatically confusing and often not followed up. Your tendency to see nothing through is particularly idiosyncratic. Either that, or they checked the ISP.

    Of course I mean "quite handsome". It's late. I'm tired. And yes, I see the irony. Usually I proofread after I post and edit at my leisure but your forum doesn't allow for that and I end up looking like an ass. But I'll take it on the chin. It's still good advice. Ignore my typos, assume I...

    The Educated Bum

    I meant "ablutions" before anyone points it out. I know. I am tired.

    Okay, I'm bored, get over it. Xmas shopping is done and the family is watching Star Wars. The crap one - Phantom Menace. Move about your business people. Firstly, you mean 'quiet handsome'. Secondly, unless you are a fortune-telling gypsy, this is a staggering work of cliche. Staggering...

    The Educated Bum

    I am sure this may seem as if I am having a bit of fun at Aquablue/Carlos/Pontiac's expense, but it's got to be better than ignoring him and venting about his nonsense in private. I sincerely do hope that he pays attention, 'cause my time is precious, and does try to re-work his pieces and...

    Is My Writing Getting Any Better? HELP

    I am feeling generous today and have some time to kill, so I will offer some critique on another of your 'Brainstorms', for you to ignore, skim, or take on board and give you an opportunity to actually do something productive with your writing. The choice is yours. Good opening sentence, the...

    Is My Writing Getting Any Better? HELP

    Isabell missed out that last "fathered". Pontiac- I have watched with amused interest your attempts at writing and while it is commendable that you keep trying, I can't help but point out that you are practicising by writing anew each time, instead of listening to advice and re-writing what...
