I'm not speaking of this post; what he says here is different from what else I've read in the other posts; I'm basing what I say off other examples, not a farewell note.
If you come back, Manuscript, here is my lat message to you. Learn to deal with criticism as a civil person. Any time someone said something moderatly jabbing at your work you came back to insult them in one way or the other. There is a politic to gaining readers, not just by your work but by...
Um, no shit? But how's about instead of posting your two second read poems in every new thread, you do a "Manuscript's Poems." This way, all your "fans," can go to that forum with every new update versus you putting up a new one every other day.
Stephen King for me is better, and yes, The Dark Tower kicks too much ass for words (har har). I honestly found "old-school," Stephen King to be a bit boring, and I like his newer ideas; but his pacing is a little "eh," now.
Pacing wise, if you want two good thriller writers, there's Alex...
Ted Dekker. New fiction writer, soon-to-be juggernaut, stories come and go at a breath taking pace. His novel Thr3e won the 2004 fiction of the year awar (or something), so that would be a nice place to start off with him. If you're more into fantasy, his circle trilogoy - Black, Red, and then...
Third-Person is my bread and butter, I believe that in order to succesfully craft a first-person perspective you need to be specially varied in how you view things. Third-Person allows me to flesh out my characters without throwing too much of my own self in them (egotism, smart-assery, dislike...
Then why in God's name do you still post your horrid crap here? Here, I'll be blunt; your poems suck. Did you read the Revelations thread? That was a nice read. Learn from it.
Many a travellers have come forth to the land of Myspace, only to be swayed by it's alluring gravitation, taken in by it's mediocrity and swayed even further by fake breasts, pastey white kids, and dip-sticks who think that holding a camera to your face at a 45 degree angle makes you cool. Yes...
Look at your Astrology signs. Sun, Moon, Rising Sun, etc.
I used to be skeptical of it and make fun of it, but once you get beyond your basic sun sign (you'll get it in a sec), you really do get to understanding yourself a bit more, and thus, learn to work with your own problems more. I look at...
We're writers; our lies are our stories, and our stories are our pass time. Anyhow, I only lie when appropriate, and I won't waste my time explaining what appropriate is. The whole "I lie to make my stories more interesting," thing is making me laugh, though. That's just lame to try and make...
I've read a lot of books, and the only one I still to this day (after finishing), consider one of the best God damned stories of all time is the Dark Tower. I heard in an article that the comics wil be based mianly off the fourth novel, describing Roland's back story when more so than what SK...
Maybe it hasn't occured to you yet, but you fill this forum up with every half-assed thing you think up. Put it all in one "Manuscript's Mediocrity," so that I don't have to skim through them all to find someone elses work. I posted the earlier comment to at least see if you could do something...
Compliment? I said you weren't a bad writer, which you aren't, but you're not good, either. Nowhere even close. But hey, roll with it, and smoke that cigar.
Wow, the first poem that I full-heartedly enjoyed. A narrative, a philosophy, some random shizzy wiz thrown in for the biz (etc.), and a good closing. You better damn well copy right this before some internet asshole comes along to snatch it. Anyhow, good - great job.
Write a story, your poems have become dull. Not to say you're a bad writer, just that these are boring. And you have a wit to your poems which is nice, but apply them to something - you know- not boring.
