How is the quality of your writing?

[Ryuuko 149]

i'm quite proud of my writing skills. i've managed to polish them over the course of a decade, and now it's at a level that i'm comfortable with.

i strive to keep improving, of course, but now i look back at some of the content i used to publish back then and just cringe.

My writing is pretty poor, I'm not very good at creative writing or storytelling.

My quality of writing has improved in some aspects. I'm still striving to become a better writer over time. I got into a top grad school before and did really well, so I know I'm a decent writer. I'm not too worried.

With that quality of writing, let's say we both strap into some racecars and write the best sports story ever  My skill of speed is sure good

I think decent, but it can be better as I wish to articulate my thoughts even better.

I still have a long way to go, but I find myself having more fun nowadays.

Very poor. I used to be rather eloquent. What is interesting is that I would rather provide substance over writing too much fluff. And this has generally cut out a lot of fillers, etc but it can be fun to be more descriptive and poetic. I should probably get back into that.

i think i am very good at writing lyrics

here is an example of one i wrote

tw; suicide mention

I am doomed to a life of feral anger and sadness
The memories I hold repeatedly drive me to madness
There is no cure for being disturbed, no such thing as magic
My birth was not a miracle, my stillbirth was tragic

I have spent my life wishing I had never been born
There's no memory in childhood that doesn't leave me torn
I am exhausted from panic, I will take it no more
I will be the solution to end all the scorn

Eyes half closed, my arms are slashed wide open
I feel consciousness slip away, heart still broken
I can picture the wails of my poor mother
As she walks into my corpse, she'll still have my brother

Please don't blame yourself for my incompetence
This decision was one made in confidence
You may have been strong, but I was the opposite
The choice was inevitable, there was no stopping it

As the blood curdles in the back of my slashed throat
I can't help but wonder of your perspective as I gag and choke
What is it like to see this image of your daughter
At her own hand, mangled and slaughtered

Would you ever forgive me for making you see this
Would you have ever thought that I would be this
A blood stained, pathetic, bloated corpse
With will power worn, dead on your floor

I am never going to see you again
We both know I'm going to hell in the end
You were my mother, I'll always remember your face
I deserve to die for making you see all my hate

Uh, I'd like to think I'm good at writing, I'm creative, I'll give myself that, but when it comes time to write it all down, my brain turns to mush and goes "I DON'T WANNA!" 

I have read some of my older writing from a few months ago and I will admit, it's not bad, but I wish it more variety with the wording

My handwriting isn’t perfect, but it’s readable.

I have a few poems from about 2 years ago, some of them are okay. Should get back to that again to be honest.

[Raskolnikov 54]

Also picked up poems due to a friend doing so but I stopped at some point a year ago due to emotional difficulties I think lol head is just full of cotton these days. I do want to pick it up again but... yeah

I tend to have kneejerk reactions to stuff *I* make so after a few days pass I end up feeling too embarrassed to revisit them cos I end up hypercritical of them but honestly they're not bad. I just end up like the Aurora Borealis scene in the Simpsons except I do have an Aurora Borealis localised entirely within my notes but no you may absolutely NOT see it. I like poetry and lyricism but I tend to be really picky and particular with it.

it's making paying attention to song lyrics an ever increasing problem. why can no one write for fuck sake

[Cash In 22,677]

Interestingly enough, very good! Or so I'm told.  

Creative writing was one of the few subjects I excelled at in high school. You'd think I would do something with that talent, but I haven't really gotten around to it yet heh. One of these days, I need to sit down and actually try to write something.
