Yeah right! As if they are mosquitoes for real. If it looks, walks and barks like a dog, is it a cat?
He writes like redmosquito, maybe a bit too much like him.

That does not make me him abi. Reminds me when I had a tough time explaining to people, its a secret I will like to keep with me for a very long time until I add my own contribution and I'm kinda sure it will be at the end of the tale but before then, lemme go have a peek there

Larry Sun would you please remove my name in the list? I don't think I can do this, maybe I should just pull my chair and join the readers club.

I hope my notice is not too late

Thanks

Babes, it's certainly not my call either...and I've got a nervously thumping heart to prove it.

But I'm willing to give it a try and I think you should too. Don't give up on us babes...Okay? smiley

Larry-Sun, make your writing simple. Yes, you are trying to be descreptive but you are overdoing it. The part of 'like a mating chihuahua' was just gross. Find a more
appropriate simile.

Frank 3:16, watch your tenses. Writing literature is different from speaking English. Then again, I think you guys are rushing too much- think and feel your character's emotions not just: "Gbram! I can write, let me start tapping my keyboard and hit the 1,000 mark.

Why? That is what the writer thinks and that is how he pictures.....I don't see why it should be changed cos it is "Gross".....sometimes certain things just descibe what you wanna say and changing the wods don't cut it at all

Uh..huh, I do.

Even world renown best seller authours / writers have people who review and critique their work...and they can be quite brutal in their assessment.

We as writers all need some measure of critism of our work. Or how else do we improve? For example, rather than say: "That piece was difficult to comprehend", it's better to say: "Incorporating some spacing, paragraphing and punctuation at *** and *** would make your piece easier to read and comprehend..."

I am really hurt by this. If you had really thought you wouldn't be able to pull it off, I wonder why you signed up in the first place. Besides, for something as serious as this, I would have expected you to PM me first. My initial plan was to offer an assistance during your turn by working up the chapter with you (I already imagined this when I wrote that members may collaborate to create a chapter), I was even ready to relinquish the spotlight and perhaps send a chapter to your mail to post at your turn. Now that you're definitely opting out, I see no reason to make you stay again after endless tries. Of course, you can remain a reader and make necessary comments and corrections.

To me, your reason for chickening out doesn't hold much fluid, because I'm still certain that you can do it. But I THINK Mazi's decisive prurient art in his future contribution brought about your decision (I may be wrong though).

Anyway, I shall put Yellow Mosquito in your place.

As crude as your words sound, I think you're right. I will correct the comparison error. Yes, one of the main functions of this thread is to have people point out our errors so that we may improve.
Thanks Mac.
Bless you.
