Bittersweet Candy Bowl Forums

Ah, I see. Perhaps the thread won't be dead forever, so I'll just leave it here anyways.

I was wondering whether or not I could replace the first Daisy dress with this one...

My god Suit, when you said 'you violate a lot of these guidelines', I nearly had a heart attack.
I was so surprised and relieved when it didn't show the site rules it just directed me to a New York Times Article about writing.
So, I am always open to new opinions and new ways to change my writing for the better (since that is the true way of respecting one's skill) and I do agree your changed samples of the story is much better than the original.
I tend to stay on the crude side of writing, mostly because I lack the sense to see what was structurally wrong with the narrative, and thank you for telling me.
When I re-read the story now, I feel that's it's very awkward and fast-paced, and I don't like that.
Now, according to the article... I didn't really use the Prologue as a backstory, but instead used it as if it was chapter one.
I used 'said', but I often tried to change it to something else, which had obviously failed. I barely use exclamation points, and offered only skimpy details for characters and settings.
Gosh, my writing is worse than I thought. Only two things to do: Cry in a corner for an hour, and do some writing exercises after.
As for my drawings-I'll just flat out say it:
I am not able to draw males, obese people, muscular people, muscles, boxy people and etc. I can't draw kids either.
I don't know, I think it's because the female body has a usual that just seem easier to draw and easier to make sure the proportions are right. The male body-to me- is just a straight line.
Yes, I know I'm making excuses. Yes, I do know that I'm just procrastinating. I'll try drawing these type of people right now.
Thank you for giving that thoughtful reply!

Ace, I'm so sorry. I am very sorry.
I suck at scary/filthy things, so I apologize for the utter suckiness and fugliness.

Also, the monthly poster.


... Yeah, October is just not my month.

Filthy? My god, I don't know. The amateur drawer in me always wants to do pretty things, but I can do filthy-I guess. I'll try to do it after school today!
Thank you for all the nice comments and such! I do doodle requests, so spam me with ideas and tasks, yeah?
