#26 - Signs You Are Going to Be a Great Writer(10) - No Excuse - Comments

@ jamais vu.

Thanks Z for your honesty.

You don't like the format? I thought it was easy to read.

Personally I don't like a big chunk of words in a paragraph, that will hurt my eyes to read.

if you mean it's simple and easy to write whatever comes out of your brain without proofing or caring about what you're putting down then, yeah, writing is easy and simple.

Yes, it was what I meant.

Again, thanks for your pointing out some of my nonsenses. :)

This blog and the rest of this series are about "The ideal and perfect state or thing" a person could be or do to achieve her or his greatest, they are not scientific papers, they are more like hopes and goals, I hope you can understand and forgive me if some of the words offended you.

Okey, thanks for your hard work and have a great day yourself!

okay, i'm not gonna lie, i had a lot of problems with this blog. for one, the formatting. i really feel like you could do with paragraphs instead of separate sentences. it's really difficult to get through your blog when it's formatted like this.

Writing is easy and simple.

i 100% disagree with this statement. if writing were truly simple and easy, everyone would be a bestseller. writing takes years and years to become amazing. have you ever looked back at your old writing and cringed at just how bad it was and how much you didn't know back then? i, and many other writers, go through that a lot. it takes years and even then, no one's writing is perfect. so, if you mean it's simple and easy to write whatever comes out of your brain without proofing or caring about what you're putting down then, yeah, writing is easy and simple.

okay, i'm not going to quote everything below that statement just because it surrounds the entire blog. everyone, and i mean everyone handles things differently. some people are able to go through something traumatic and the words flow because that's how they cope. while another person might go through something similar and fall into such a deep depression that they can't even brush their teeth, let alone write.

are you honestly telling people, straight up, that if you go through something horrendous or are having bad mental or physical days that you aren't a great writer? not to make it personal but there are days where my mental or physical health is so bad that i can't even get out of bed. you're telling me i should also focus on the fact that i'm a bad writer too because i'm too broken to put in the effort to focus on something like that?

there are people that work 12-14 hour days, six days a week. you're telling me that if they don't make writing a priority and skip out on sleeping or socializing that they're a bad writer?

you DO NOT have to give up your entire life to write. i'm sorry you think that's the case, but it isn't.
