Fazemood:This isn't my thread. The OP didn't do his research well. When he comes across great works on this section, I'm sure he'll be humbled. I sincerely hope he would have the fortitude to return here and apologise for what he typed; perhaps he has come across the good ones but he's too blinded by pride to acknowledge them, or the obviously burning sensation to throw some invectives has robbed him of reason. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Hello Mr THT80, So I've gone through the first, and now to this current page and seen all comments but one really stuck. The one with the constructive and destructive criticism. It's okay to criticise, fine we even need it. But it's very wrong to condemn every persons work on here just because you think it's not up to per standard, cause what you did is just destroy some people's morale. Some of us here are introverts and writing is what makes our voices be heard in a way. But you doing this right now has done more damage than you could possibly imagine You read something and didn't like it, fine, you could've just pointed out where the persons went wrong, not condemn everyone's work that they've worked so hard on. We're not all professionals. Some might be, but some aren't, so it's not right to openly be mean, cause that's what you are. And you are egotistical, not sure if you know it though. But I have a feeling you do So next time you feel the need to say something in a public forum, grab a book and a pen and write the things you wanna say. When you're done, read what you've written, and if you read it and a little, if not much just that little part of you feels it's gonna hurt a lot of people, then tear it off and begin again in a fresh page till you can come up with a nicer way of saying it And to all you wonderful people trying to stand up for all writers on here. You guys are all amazing And sorry this is coming a bit late 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Lilyjoe567: EXACTLY!!! God bless you for this comment. This is why I had to defend the great writers in this section. He has no idea what damage he did with that post. That is why I was even vexed with other writers that were supporting the guy. I am not saying constructive criticism isn't needed, but if you have ever ever in your life started a story, gone through the doubts, the mental drains, burnouts, long hours of solitude it takes to come of creative plots and then completed a story, you won't welcome what that guy did with his write-up. 1 Like |

kanayoNickel:must? are you planning on rewarding whoever fucking sit up? |
Re: The Extremely Appalling Poor Quality Of Writing On Literature Section. by kanayoNickel: 4:28pm On Oct 13, 2017 |
kennedith9: in fact I might sign up to any group that gives monetary reward to the best author per month or week. perhaps monetary motivations will make them think deep and write with gusto ... I am a an intermediate programmer and this section is often where I unwind with some stories ( esp that horror collaboration, initiated by Divepen and Bibiz work) but I get irritated when I see other works that seem so ....there.. Don't give me excuses of how long u spent writing , how ur brain cracked open and spewed bile and so on. if u must present something , expect criticisms, present something that will make people react , something that will make peeps declare fatwas on you, something simple yet thought provoking.... Not exercises in intensive English for primary 4 . Take a look at how we are all reacting to Op, he/she struck a raw nerve. Most of us are calling for his/her head (with eyeballs plugged out) on a plate. U see... I once again say, Thank you Op. 2 Likes |

kayo80: Bro, calm down. Are you a writer at all? Writers and critics are like brothers in Literature. A critic does not have to know how to write. You don't need to be a writer to appreciate literature. Even writers sometimes take on the role of critics. Take for instance, T.S. Elliot's criticism of Orwell's Animal Farm. Talk of William Golding and his many critics. One critic described his first novel "Lord of the Flies" as boring. Soyinka has been described by a section of critics as inaccessible. Every time a publisher is preparing to release a book, they first send it out to a couple of critics. Do you know why? Because it is only from a critic that they can get honest opinions on the book. 2 Likes |

Mr Kay, Surprise us! if you had the film Ratatouille, the underated Rat chef surprised the critic. if not for anything, u won't open ur computer tonite cos you'd be boiling and wishing to cut off my fingers ( for ur great writers) but I am sure that when next u open d laptop and launch MSWord....You must be wary and you must try to come out good.

kanayoNickel: You aren't criticizing, you're mocking. Criticism means you saying (for example) "you should have used comma instead of exclamation mark", what you're saying instead is "Haha you used comma, take your pile of horseshît and gtfoh " If you want well written books go to Amazon or Okadabooks and BUY. You haven't written anything before, you haven't bought any books but you want the free writeups you find on Nairaland to be as good as something written by Stephen King?

ThT80, how have you done concerning the links I shared? Mrscribe, I don't know how to go by you 'cos I've always seen you as a great reader. This thing THT80 did, it makes sense to you? He was merely trying to satisfy his ego, that's all I see. A guy who knows nothing about posting works on Nairaland comes here and spits trash and you support him? He spat on Royver; Repogirl; Larrysun; Kayemjay; Frank317; TiffanyJ and others! You're just unbelievable! Honestly. You all, I insist, you cannot get the satisfaction of eating pounded yam from a free cup of garri. It is impossible. Quote me anywhere. You will go down. THT80, mind you, I haven't sent you links to those of the echelons of this e-society. I will when you're done with the current ones. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Writer “To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.” – Aristotle “You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one – John Wooden.. “The artist doesn’t have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don’t have the time to read reviews.” – William Faulkner “Who do you spend time with? Criticizers or encouragers? Surround yourself with those who believe in you. Your life is too important for anything less.” – Steve Goodier Tht80 “Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.” – Elvis Presley “A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.” – John Wooden “One mustn’t criticize other people on grounds where he can’t stand perpendicular himself.” – Mark Twain “Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.” – Dale Carnegie “Criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting.” – Emmet Fox “When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.” – Unknown “It is much more valuable to look for the strength in others. You can gain nothing by criticizing their imperfections.” – Daisaku Ikeda “I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.” – Charles Schwab “I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man’s self-respect is a sin.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery To Wrap it up “A man interrupted one of the Buddha’s lectures with a flood of abuse. Buddha waited until he had finished and then asked him: If a man offered a gift to another but the gift was declined, to whom would the gift belong? To the one who offered it, said the man. Then, said the Buddha, I decline to accept your abuse and request you to keep it for yourself.” So Tht80, keep your criticism to yourself. 10 Likes 1 Share |
