#Ofc sometimes there are parts of writing that come out shity XDDD

[trash-ainu]

Oh my gosh, thank you for tagging me @perlen-gold!

So I took some time, sat down, and went through your works, so I could come back with some specific compliments as well as examples of what I think you do really well! :3

❤️ I love how illustrative and imaginal your writing is! You mention you work meticulously on each stentence, and it shows -- because not only are they beautifully worded, they are also rich and very evocative. For example, I noticed that one way you contribute to that expressiveness, is by using strings of really original compound adjectives (from one of your works, i jotted down "ink-soft lace," "iron-veiled flanks" and "gold-leaping warmth" as examples!) I think they're really well constructed, and with your other poetic word choices and methaphors, it paints a vivid image of the story in a reader's mind :3 Not only that, you manage to do this in a way that doesn't make the sentences feel over-crowded and too long -- and I feel like that is a great achivement on your part and something you should defintely be proud of! ❤️ You've got a good grasp on your flow and pacing. Now, I feel like it is marginally harder to get good pacing in works that are written in styles that lean towards ornate and poetic. What comes to my mind is classical literature -- but there, elaborate language was often used in order to stall the action and slow the pacing. And yet, I feel like you are able to maintain a good flow, despite the fact you write in a poetic way. This makes things written in your style feel borderline ballad/poem-like, and I think it's ultimately what makes your style original and distinct! ❤️ The way you handle first person POV is great. Personally, I tend to struggle with writing in first person a lot, and I have absolutely no talent for it, so I have less insighful remarks to give about it X'DDDD But it's all the more reason for me to praise you for it, because you manage to deliver a great story directly through a character's eyes, in a way that is engaging and fun to read :3 Phew... I may have... gotten a bit over-excited about conducting a literary analysis, I hope that's okay😅😅

Alright -- now a compliment for myself? Hmm...

I feel like I'm good with characterisation? Digging into the psychology of characters and finding ways to show who they are in the story has always been the most enjoyable element of writing to me. This led to me working on a lot of character studies, so I developed that part of my writing skillzz kinda naturally 😆 On top of that, I play a lot of tabletop RPGs, and those are mostly about finding ways to interact with the world in an in-character way, so... yeah!

Omg, okay, I don't really have many writing friends here, much less writing friends that share their writing, or are familiar with mine, so ahkjfdgdh With absolutely zero pressure to do this, imma tag:

@winds-of-zephyr416, @dragonofmordor, @mai-komagata, @skaelds, and @kanskje-kaffe

And, of course, if this is something anybody else wants to take part in, feel more than free to!❤️❤️

I want to do a compliment exercise. I got the idea from a poll I saw.

First, vote on this poll:

Now, reblog and tag 5 writers that you would want to see do this (no pressure, of course)... and in your CAPTION (not tags), give 3 compliments to the person you reblogged this from's writing. In your TAGS (not caption), put what your answer was.

Give yourself at least one writing compliment too, while you're at it.

If you reblog it from me, don't worry about doing the compliments since almost none of you have actually read my writing (if any of you have 😅).

If you really want to do the compliments for me, you can compliment something else but it isn't necessary when reblogging from the original source.

Let's get a compliment/positivity/love thread going. ❤️
