abuseHello,
I read your essay a long time ago and still read it sometimes, since it's very complete and useful. I would like to know if you'd be okay with me translating it in french ? It's for a french livejournal community based on helping each other with our stories.
Thanks.

abuseOh wow. I wish I had read this when I started here, like, what, eight years ago? Would've saved me (and all my lovely readers) so much heartache. Fortunately, I learned most of what you've fantabulously written in the last two months or so. I actually thought of an idea, came up with complex character profiles, and planned out my ENTIRE story (well, except the epilogue; I figure the characters will hash that one out on their own). It's helped so much with the writer's block, you have no idea. Well, except you DO since it's part of your essay...

Don't mind me, I'm tired ;)

But yes! Great advice. I advise everyone to take it, and take it seriously :)

Dear Glitterjewele,

On behalf of all bored-to-death readers out there, thank you! As much as I like C.S. Lewis, I wish he had read your part about Active vs. Passive Voice: Pacing. It was torture to read through his awesome but lengthy descriptions.

Also, do you ever have a moment where you just can't describe the internal monologue? It's caused at least 75% of my writer's block so far. Any tips would be appreciated.

PS: Why does Suzy get pelted with carrots of all things?

abuseOh my! *Wide-eyed, Lj's eyes travel slowly from the screen to other orange-sticks on the plate beside her. Making sure no-one's looking, she forcefully shoves it off her desk and into the nearest bin* Oh deary me.. u've instilled in me a phobia of carrots!

Lo0l this piece was EXCELLENTO. I congratulate u. Lmao, u're ability to express ureself is remarkable. Lo0l i especially liked Mr. Gumme's incorrect sentence: Like, psh, whatever girlfriend. There’s like no way that’ll ever happen. Haha, unfortunately u do get people like that. *sighs* They never learn. ee I hate summaries. They honestly suck. I spend ages trying to think something up and when im finally satisfied with one it does not FIT into that damned box..too many characters, grr.

erm lool i would absolutely love to ask u to read my *cough* first chapters of two stories of mine 'coz u sound like u'd be a wonderful critic but err *scratches head*.. the carrots, erm, yeah.. so u see my dilemna.. oh what the hell! If you find any time to spare would u please look at my stories? I'll confess now: true, i haven't updated in a while. But i swear its not due to writers block nor laziness. Schools just been so stressful, i swear i have no more time to even think! (I've put The Klutz in Disguise on hold because i didnt wanna be one of those writers who claims writers block problems in the middle of the story so i stopped it early to fully plan before hand. ee im blabbing, but i'd like it critisized coz i'm writing the 2nd chapter now and id appreciate comments before i actually carry on).

k , 'nuff rambling. Haha Bubble gum world. Your randomness reminds me of similar conversations with my friends. Fortunately for u ur world sounds decent. I have a world in which a close friend dubbed, "The Land of Bopaplope" so, yeahh, lool.

Lol, thank u for a fabulously entertaining manuscript, im gonna go recommend it to my best friend. No doubt she'd find it amusing.

*Stops and gives glitterjewele a wave*

Chow fellow girlie,
Lots of love,
xx Lj xx

ps. any misplaced rambling to which u just rolled ur eyes and claimed: just get ON with ur point.. i would like to blame on fatigue, yes, thats it. mY eyes are drooping, dro0opIngg...

Okay im going before i embarrass myself further. I wrote u a mini saga, lol, enjoy. Byee!
