Anniversary? · 8:30am May 17th, 2014
So, my account seems to be telling me that I am coming up on the one year anniversary of making an account...
Yay?
Honestly, I don't know how I feel about this. Maybe I would feel better if I did something of value on this site. All I seem to do is read stories and offer criticism of grammar and, in some isolated cases, point out flaws in stories. Even worse, just a few months ago I promised (to no one but myself) that I would start working on my story ideas, but here I am and I haven't written a word. I could blame it on the fact that my life is anything but conducive to creativity, but even then I could still find the time. What am I trying to say?
I am lazy.
I'll try to find my muse and do something of value, but writing a story won't happen until I find the desire to make it happen.
In the meantime I will do what I always do and offer my (unwanted) services as grammar police and write up as many citations as are necessary.
Another thing that bugs me is that most blogs are much longer than what I am comfortable writing. I usually find that they spend far too many words getting to simple ideas. Don't get me wrong sometimes it just helps hammer the point home but I rarely work like that. I believe that every word has meaning and shouldn't be thrown in just to make an established word count.
tl:dr, there shouldn't be a word count because the story/post should be as long as it needs to be.
