Okay, I'll admit it

A recent event has convinced me that my writing isn't all that bad. Sure, I probably could have gotten the hint by reading a lot of things out there, but it felt more personal since I was involved in the writing (sort of). Let's just say that, for someone like myself (who has a vivid imagination), I just couldn't make sense of what they had wrote. It was simply incongruous with what had previously been written.

Now everyone gets to enjoy my new phrase: "It almost sucks, as usual, but what can I do?"

:P

No no no no no no. See, my writing sucks. You are JK Rowling compared to me. And I agree that you have an excelent imagination. Sort of like Ell, only yours isn't alive, and doesn't have an attitude. :P

Way to go! Now you're one step closer to egomaniac. Joking, joking. Your writing has always been amazing, and it's no accident your captions are some of the most popular. I never understood why you wanted people to comment in a thread of captions though. It always seemed to me it cluttered the thread.

(I commented earlier today, though, since you had remarked about commenting proving that they weren't all that bad or something like that. And, really, they've always been, on the whole, amazingly good.)

Haylie:

What are you talking about? My imagination is alive and well!

And I'm no J.K. Rowling in any sense! I am... Anonymous! Dun-dun-dunnnn!

Sophia:

I've been an egomaniac all along.

It always seemed to me it cluttered the thread.


"It always seemed, to me, to clutter the thread." Or, perhaps, "it always seemed (to me) to clutter the thread," might be better. *Shrugs*

I've been an egomaniac all along.


See? ;p

Anyway... I prefer getting comments because they tell me how I'm doing. Captions involve writing, after all, so why should it be any different from stories? It would certainly help instill some confidence in me, for when I'm done making captions and ready to write more stories. The responses I get from the captions I make can give me an idea of whether or not it would be worth putting more effort in making stories for people to read, if it appears that my writing is acceptable and my ideas are healthy.

(Well, how else can you express their worth, if the only options available are whether to comment or not? Evidently, if someone doesn't feel the need to comment, then it wasn't worth commenting on. On the other hand, the more effort put into the comment, the more the captions are worth. In the end it's all relative, but I still hope for something that will give me an idea of whether or not I should attempt something bigger. I might have a lot of time on my hands, but I also have to put in a lot more effort than most the longer something is/gets: because I have a hard time focusing and I end up putting more energy into staying the course than actual writing.

Basically, if anyone wants to see any fiction or fan-fiction from me after I put captions behind me, I'm going to need some encouragement. ^_^; )
