Second n00b of the day
Hello! I'm new as well. (See last post.)
I'm a 31-year-old Canadian mom and creative entity with sporadic writer's angst (block may not exist, but I'm not the one to judge that...) who tries to find time to write the novel that I may never even attempt to have published, depending on how everything goes.
I also pen a lot of silly rhyming poetry. I'm really not sure why.
My main writing faults are run-on sentences and the overuse (of parentheses), ellipses... commas, and italics. My fingers are dyslexic before my morning coffee kicks in, so I apologize in advance for the inevitable plethora of typos.
Misplaced apostrophes are my nemesis.
Despite the comm profile bit on concrit, I'd rather not be lied to about the effect or quality (or lack thereof) of my work. For me, it's better to hear "Hm. It doesn't grab me at all." than, "Wow! Great work!", simply because I have the kind of ego that's as easily inflated as kicked into the mud. Honestly will help me improve, so I ask you to favour honesty over delicacy in order to help me hone my yet-untested skills.
