Venturing further into the world of short stories, I worked a bit more on mine today shortly after posting again to my thread on the Writers Magazine forum. After twenty something views someone finally posted a comment…but not the kind I was expecting:
“I’d like to see more before I comment.”
Well, that is fine. But then again, the person who said this should have waited until I posted more. And I did post more, warning whoever comes across my thread that that is all I have done so far. Well up to that point, anyway, I’ve written a bit more since posting.
But being honest, the forum on the Writers Magazine is really quite slow. I used to post to writing communities before, like FictionPost (I think that’s the name, anyway), and even that community was far more active than the one on Writers Magazine. I saw other posts there that had 40-something views and zero comments. Which I guess are worse than mine. Not saying my writing is bad, at least.
I think I’m going to make my way back to FictionPost and resume posting stuff on there. I would get better critiques, and also, I wouldn’t get comments like, “Post more, I need to see more before I comment.” Well, this story I am writing currently is a short story, and I did post the beginning of it. Of course you would have to see more before making a solid critique of my work. Next time on the Writers forum, I should post every single chapter I’ve done for one of my WIP novels and see how they will critique them. Because they are long…
So, in other news, it looks like I might be taking my driving test for the Class E licence tomorrow…when I’m not sure because I’m going in as a walk-in. We’ll see how that goes…I’m not always so patient. I’m nervous, but I also feel very much ready. Here goes!
