-shrug- its only polite. and i mean you write so theres at least one thing i can learn from youpractise makes perfect, and the only way to get better is to keep trying. I spent college learning that the most important opinion of my work was my own — and that nothing I ever did would seem good /enough/ to me. So if I can see the scene in my head, I don’t spend /hours/ trying to get it out exactly right. It’s not going to happen. I put it down as clearly as I can, and tweak words here and there, and let it go.
i find my writing style is different from that. its heavily based on emotion. even if another character isn’t involved. emotion affects how people perceive and i try to capture that.
That’s a perfectly good way to do it — I just work pretty hard on not criticising myself a lot after I write it.
