Wow, some of your writing is really amazing! Thank you for the comments on my "poem". I shouldn't have called it that because I wrote it on the spot and made it up to match my feelings ^_^'
Could I ask you for a huge favour...? Could you take a look at "Deny the Word" in my gallery? It's just that, I'm going to be attempting to get the finished novel published and that's the first chapter. Advanced Critique would be amazing because you're got talent ^_^'

Oh you're so sweet! Advanced Critique? I haven't even left highschool! But yes, I would LOVE to read it! You yourself are an amazing writer!
Good Luck on your novel! I hope all goes well!

o_O How old are you? Clearly your talent belies your age!
I don't think I'm an amazing writer by any means, but I'm trying. Having finished university just a few days ago I can focus on it more!

I'm just about to turn 16, and I'm thinking of becoming a writer myself. My idol is Christopher Paolini who finished his first book at only 15! and got it published, I think, at 19! I really don't consider myself an amazing writer either. In fact, comparing myself to others, I usually think I'm just average. I would kill for some College classes on writing! That would be amazing!

You can study creative writing and to be fair, I don't really think you need much help ^_^' I think your writing's amazing! Especially for a 15 year old! I had no idea! Even your casual talking sounds so refined and mature!

yeah I'm taking a creative writing class next year, but unfortunately it will only last for a quarter, and I don't feel that will help a whole lot. But I'm willing to try, mostly because I want to show off! lol!
Thank you so much! I don't think I've ever had this much praise from one person before! Maybe I'm mature here, but I'm pretty sure in real life I'm about as goofy as any other 15 year old! Well, I'm a bit more mature than some, I guess.
Again thank you!

No need to thank me. I was just being honest. I think you have vast talent and ESPECIALLY for such a young age. I was very taken aback by that to be honest!

Thank you! (that really makes me feel like such a sap, saying it over and over again, but what else am I supposed to say? lol) I think there are a lot of people out there with talent, that just needs to be discovered. And for some, they need to create their own greatness. But either way, if they work hard enough at it, they'll succeed.
mere talent is not enough, it is the work put into what they do that makes success.

That's a very good way to look at things. Talent alone is not enough if there is not ambition and drive behind it.

very well said! And it's most certainly true, if one thinks about it.
