Who You Are As A Writer

Description

Are you a writer? Are you a reader?

Are you both?

Can you differentiate between what is good or bad?

Is your writing up to standard?

Here, I'll share my answers with you.

I'm not perfect, you are not perfect. I'm just here to point out some mistakes so that you won't make mistakes again, or at least to make you give some thought to it.

Composed of my thoughts on writing fanfiction and some on reading.

Including the cliches, the wrongs, the rights, and many others.

 

 

Foreword

I may not be the best writer. But I am a reader too. I have been reading.

I bet many people who are writing fanfictions right here and how are around my age, either younger or older. But sometimes I feel like the older one here. There would be people making mistakes and wouldn't do anything about. If you want to improve, you got to take action. I'm writing this "fanfic" is to try to help or just to share MY opinions.

And these are MY opinions.

If you disagree, feel free to share yours.

But I will not tolerate insults or put downs. I will defend myself.

Chapter 8: Actually in my school, you dont have to have good grades when youre in a sport team. Even if you have the worst score in the whole school but actually great in sport, you dont have to care about failing.

Chapter 1: OMG I just needed to read this!!! YES I ened to share this with my Jonkey shippers "friends" They kept saying that if I write about Jongkey my fics will way better and so on. But I don't ship Jongkey, so what? I want you appreciate my effort like I appreciate urs T.T why does it hurt to see people neglecting that point : That writer deserve a chance, even if I don't ship that pairing.

Chapter 8: I agree. I just realized recently that highschool fic focused mainly on the romance life, I mean, I get it that the genre is 'romance' but it doesn't mean that all the highschool things that the characters have to do magically gone.
more fic with highschool!au genre should describe the struggle of their character as a student more.

Chapter 7: I definitely agree that a title should be memorable and well thought out. It should especially relate to the story. It irks me when the title sounds pretty but has absolutely no significance to the story. One thing I'd have to disagree on is the word limit. "One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies" by Sonya Sones is a great example of this. True, not many titles exceed six words but it can be done really well by those who do.
