LOLOLOL HAHAHAHAHA...oh this is interesting ..
sum off dai,
howdy? long time?
i like your posts--be it stories or commentaries. barring one or two or few, they are always enlightening -- sometimes on the subject matter you discuss and at times on yourself.
i loved the way you critiqued this story. if i were a writer, i would love to have a reader like yourself ...and you say you're a 'lousy' reader. had you been one, you couldn't have been able to point out the subtle holes in the sentence structure or in the spelling in the story, no? or may be because they're not as subtle for you as for most of us readers who go by the simplicity and the overall presentation and the melody and 'rhythm' in the flow of the narratives, what you see and point out easily, we tend to overlook the same-- at least i do. so at the risk of being offensive, i would say you are a 'cunning' reader, but that doesn't take anything away from your writing caliber and i will still love to have you as a reader as it's always good to know what's missing in the stuffs you write.
one more thing, i think some of the seasonal writers here are so because they are under hectic schedule of work and school hence story writing, albeit their passion, is not possible due to time constraints. but that's not an excuse for holes in your writing if you're an aspiring writer but then again c'mon! we write in just in SAJHA for heaven's sake.
lastly, i admit that i too tend to be cunning at times, hence i pick up the line which posters write and which i don't agree with in part or in whole:
you wrote:
"Other than that, I adore you as a person—for being nice, humble and gracious. I have told you many times to write more. Because I seriously think you can."
what is 'other than that' doing there? HAHA..it sounds like "wow i adore you as a person, but since you don't write correct english in your stories, don't be disillusioned! i abhor you or might not like you as much as you think i do" ? HAHAHAHA
(just my 2 cents which by no means is to discourage or disrupt the wonderful conversations and teachings that's in store here in this thread)
