Hey Shugamania

Afternoon to the housemates...

If drama wasn't her middle name

Who is writing chapter three

Good day warriors

[quote author=uj_sizzle]is this a threat? [/quote]m curious too

white mosquito: Babes. Gotta go. Prepare for 2mao. Oya tel mi hapi bai day again!

Ehehehe! What r u throwing a party?

Happy birthday again

white mosquito: I dint take offense. I crashed ur picnic l8r remember?

The apology wasn't meant for you

But then u look desperate for it so stash it in ur mouth and swallow m sure it taste good.

white mosquito: First lesson- Grow an extra thick skin, the intensity of an eskimo suit. Lol.

glad I was born mortal

I don't have to pretend

Next!

white mosquito: Dont hav one. Rili and truly. Not red moss. Rili and truly.

I don hear...more vaseline to your skin

white mosquito: But seriously. Within every nonsense ders a sense. Soyinka once said show me a writer who cant take criticisms and ill show u a dying talent. Dey say u write too many words, sit down wit an OPEN mind and edit urself....A. Christie can convey d most impressions AND information in a 10 -word sentence. Improve! Pocket the pride! Wen u become a Pulitzer or Nobel winner, u wil not nid to sing ur praises, CNN'll do it for u.

Pity I don't know Soyinka, do a sister a favour and show her the ropes please. Looks like good criticism comes from nigeria after all.

white mosquito: I know! I took it as a sign dat im gonna b famous on NL. Buhahahahaha. Chanks o jare!

I should have known...a good friend once told me that people are advertising themselves on NL. Well your a good example of that but I just wonder what happened to your old moniker . That's if you have one, I won't blame u for trying though.

[quote author=Efemena_xy]^^ Crazy babe

What does MXM mean?? [/quote]lol Efe

It means mtcheew! That's how its pronounced down here

white mosquito: Lolz. Ya space? I dash u! By the way ppl my bdays 2mao. Oops. In some mins! Yaaaaaaaay! Runnin up and down thread.

may u grow more wings dear, my siggy is dedicated to u...happy hatched day

white mosquito: HBG. We cant al write alike. Infact we MUST not write alike! dey are BASIC ingredients to every soup, some may apply pepper or salt sparingly others freely, but it MUST be der.so it is wit any literature. In music every note must be sounded properly or u go flat. My point is u eida learn to use criticism, or forever remain an amateur!

amateur HBG will be just because she won't take nonsense....MXM!

We can cross-night over this but nothing will change! Frank will not be Larry's copycat. I know a good writer when I see one and trust me, even with my grade1 expirience I know my stuff. Damn I forgot you were rooting for my spot.

[quote author=Mynd_44]So?[/quote]not necessary

Redmosquito: I'll read the story update tomorrow! Too tired! I'm resuming tomorrow by the way!

good night

white mosquito: Sir, hav u heard of tough love? It is my experience that a writer improves only when he/she is challenged to bring out the best. You do not molly cuddle writers, it wil stifle the growth of the talent. Yl der is a necessary place for encouragement, professionals wil tel u dat writers are by nature sensitive so more often than not dey wil be offended by criticism but the hands that bathe the baby, must also massage it. A Well rounded writer is one who is able to harness emotions like anger, disappointment etc and channel it into his work. U cant write wat uv not felt. One who wants to improve his craft must expect even welcome criticism, however it is dished out, hot or cold. So it is wit The Arts- poetry, novel writing, painting name it.

we are all entitled to our own opinions

Have you ever looked into Frank's work? Every writer has his or her own style of writing and we can't all write like Larry. If that's what people are expecting then tickets are sold out!

[quote author=Larry-Sun]You guys are confusing me.[/quote]that's how we roll

On a serious note nobody scared me off here.

Just an emotional blackmail! M good to go

[quote author=Larry-Sun]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.[/quote]who is Mazi

I tried contacting you offline but to no avail...Iam sorry I failed you.

[quote author=Efemena_xy]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..."[/quote]ai ke m so not good with this ish. I will just pull my chair and let ya'll stab yourself with your own daggers.

The view looks clear in my rear mirror adios

[quote author=Efemena_xy]^^ Sounds more like constructive critism to me...[/quote]you call that constructive?

Well

I reserve my comment

Ishilove: I feel you. Detective stories is out of my comfort zone,but I love challenges so I'll try my hands on this collabo.

I believe in you.....but this is just out of my league

Ishilove: HBG, sup? Why are you pulling out, dear?

I got carried away with everything but this is just not my call.

There is always a next time.

[quote author=Yellow_Mosquito]Did I read that right? Hey, you are about betraying the trust put on you [/quote]yes you read it right. Its in black and white

[quote author=Yellow_Mosquito]Now I think I'm beginning to suspect you. [/quote]that's very good

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

[quote author=Larry-Sun]How sure are you? Which one is Mynd?[/quote]Neither is Mynd 44

[quote author=Yellow_Mosquito]Are you thinking what I'm thinking.... Are they truly the one?

Damn... They are both ugly even without the chalk smeared on their faces [/quote][quote author=Larry-Sun]Yes, because I know you wouldn't lie to me [/quote]There is no Moss in them pictures

[quote author=Larry-Sun]I love them for that...soooo hilarious Can't stop laughing![/quote]don't make them come for you please

[quote author=Larry-Sun]LOL! Typically Moss [/quote]I still have the pic in my phone...

Those guys are crazy

Mynd and Moss

Oahray: Nice one frank. Besides the fact that you didn't exactly thicken the plot (more than it already was), and some irregularity in tense used on some occassions, its a nice follow up. Thumbs up!

I love your siggy

Nice piece Frank

Can't wait to convert Tracy into mother Teressa

Madly inlove? People are funny!

[quote author=Larry-Sun]But you're already claimed [/quote]by who?

"Tweeny" someone claimed you and you didn't tell me
