A quick Slamjam postmortem note

So, the creator of one of the OCs I wrote about just about flipped his lid at me because I gave his character a gay shipping story, ruining his message of platonic bromance and emotionally vulnerable heterosexual dudes.

Part 1: Poetry

“But I hate poetry” well that’s because you’re doing it wrong. A poem of the type that we were told to write in this class is just a short, condensed piece of work that shows who you are and what you do as a writer.

Lesson 0: Learn the rules before you break them

I know full well that I'm talking down to a lot of people in this post--my excuse is that writing it out is also a way for me to refresh the lessons in my own mind. Story tags are because I plan to go back and "grade myself" based on my own advice as i write these.

All is right in ponydom

I know, I said I would do a thing, and then I didn't.
I will. I promise. Next post.
But first, I need to share this with you: a friend has informed me that One Terrible Writer has posted all of his stories, previously thought to be lost forever, on fanfiction.net.

Knighty HATES him! Honolulu-area baker reveals how to improve your writing with 3 simple rules!

I’ve seen it a few times, and you probably have too: people will say stuff along the lines of “I bet this person took a community college course in creative writing and now they think they're so great.” It’s a very resonant insult for classists like me. Besides, it’s rooted in fact: the level of literacy needed to pass community college courses in this town is miserably low.

... I've been writing, and I didn't even realize it · 10:07pm Jul 22nd, 2015

I have been writing for one of those funtime anonymous contests. Normally I would be outright ashamed to admit that I was doing that kind of thing instead of working on my own ideas, but this particular contest has been ongoing since May and has gotten me to write well over 10,000 words, which is probably 10,000 more than I would have written otherwise.

It's all stupid OC garbage, but when I stop to think about it, it's kind of absurd to say that writing fanfiction of all things counts more than writing for a prompt.

Anyway, I'll post a compilation of my entries for it eventually. Maybe I'll write more, too--the character is a well loved member of the cast.
