Even More Conversing Uselessly

[Petra Rocks]

I like writing but it has to be about something I know about. I tried literature analysis last year and my teacher kept telling me I was thinking too much.  I never did get it, though I did pass the test anyway.

I agree.  If I don't have to right about anything in particular (or something I like) it's all good.  Otherwise, noooooo!!

I'm no good at writing stories of any kind unfortunately, atleast as far as I know. But I love writing essays, they're so easy especially if it's on something you have alot of interest in. Essays always earn me top marks.

I like writing of any kind...but it does hurt a lot when your writing is cut down to fit a slot in a newspaper or magazine. My article was recently cut down from 1333 words to 735--and it's killing me! I don't want people to read that!

i cant write well.  i also dont use puctuation well.

I'm terrible with essays and writing and stuff.

[Lollotte]

Don't say that, guys! I bet you're a lot better than you think you are.

I remember writing two pages about the excursion my class went on and they cut it down to a one line quote for the school magazine.

[Lollotte]

Well, that's not so bad. I mean, if they're gunna cut, I say either slash it all or not at all.   

[racx_00]

Well a quote isn't slashing it all, slashing it all would mean none of it remains.

So I feel ripped!

[Rosella]

Seriously though. I typically get top marks for my essays, but they take me FOREVER.

[racx_00]

I can do them easily. I just tend to leave them to the last minute.

Ripped in what way? 

ENGLISH STARS UNITE! 

[racx_00]

Two pages of work and they only take one line and quote it. I wanted atleast half of it in there!

[Lollotte]

I know, I know...*pats shoulder* But one quote is intact. What if they printed half of your essay and took out all the discriptive words and in-between sentences to make it fit into a tiny space? 

[telepathic_cat]

I don't think abridged things are cool...at all...ever...yeeeeeaaaahhh

[Pacman928]

maybe your essay was so descriptive, that to save ink, they cut it down so that the main point could get across.

As long as the get the gist of it, but yeah I see what you mean.

Just this past term at college I took an essay writing class.  I had forgotten how much I truly hate writing essays.  It's the whole formulating-a-reasonable-opinion-about-any-given-topic thing that gets me.  I discovered that there are a lot of topics I have no opinion about.  I felt like I had to artificially create an opinion in order to write some of the papers.  I have great respect for anyone who can put together a cohesive essay.  I'm more of a fiction/short-story writer.

Any any rate, just thought I'd stop lurking and actually post something here.

Royal heirs are great too.  If someone does something bad to them they can always be gone tomorrow. *Ducks and runs*
