Musings most horrid

[the_audren_file]

I keep telling myself (and everyone willing to listen) that I want to improve as a writer. I know I do. I sincerely, truly want to but the fact of the matter is I have no idea how to go about this. Will writing the same things over and over and over make me a better writer at that specific thing? Or will forcing myself out of my comfort zone be

Okay, let me first put your mind at ease...from where I am standing, you have definitely NOT gotten worse as a writer. Put that thought out of your head, because it isn't true and doesn't belong in there. Ha. There.

I find it really hard to gauge my own writing. It has definitely improved since I first started writing fanfic about 100 years ago. However, I didn't do anything specific to improve other than, well, write. It sounds like lame advice, but it is what works for me. Try new things, old things, it doesn't make that big of a difference. If it sticks, it sticks, and if it doesn't, well, it was fun to try.

I know how you feel about writing styles conflicting! I used to spend A LOT OF TIME doing ACADEMIC writing, which is completely different from creative writing.

I honestly can't tell if I have or haven't worsened/improved but I truly appreciate the assurance! Thank you! Net was bizarro spotty yesterday like I could log onto LJ and stuff but it. Wouldn't. Let. Me. Post. So I spent most of last night all "DDDDDD8 RESPONSES! I HAS THEM! LEMME MAKE THEM!" and the connection's all "Nyuuuuuu~ HURR DURR 8B" and I'm all ";A; *flail flail flail*" and it's all "HERE! HAS SOME LOLCATS!" and then I'm all "Oh sure for LOLCats you'll work :/"

I might do something new, or try something new the upcoming months. March seems to be a very, erm, non-friendly to Addy!writings.

ADLSKJFLSKJFSDLF ACADEMIC WRITING IS EEEEEEEEVIL! And honestly I was amazed at how well you managed to balance between that and writing all them OZZUM GWEVIN fics *w* I think for the fun of it, I'm gonna try writing a fic in tech doc style. FOR THE LULZ!

I can't tell if I've improved lately, it seems to all come in retroactively. I'll all of a sudden realize that: OMG! That old fic was awful! This one is so much better!

March has been unfriendly to Hime writings as well. Bleh. I hope April will be better.

I really love creative writing, so I think all those Gwevin fics helped me keep in touch with that. I'm so glad you think they are ozzum! XD

I like fics...FOR THE LULZ.

*gives HUUUUUUUUUUGS and positive vibrations through the interwebs for Hime!*

I hope the Darkles kitty makes things go your way *w*

Fics for the LULZ in small doses can be ozzum 8DDDDD

Awww. Thank You! I feel the Interweb Luff!

Darkles Kitty is Epic by himself, <3!

Indeed they can. April Fools RPS are proof of that.

Interweb Luff is Intangible Luff but no less sincere *w*

Darkles Kitty must meet his brothers and sisters 8DDDDD

I am so glad April 1 here is a holiday (huzzah Holy Week!) but I hope to work on those ride drabbles first XDDDDD
