What a joke
Aug. 7th, 2004 03:06 pmBecause that's what it is. It doesn't deserve to be called a writing style.
That last ficlet just showed up everything that is so wrong with everything I write.
One to two sentence paragraphs, so much white space. One to two syllable words that were learnt in kindergarten.
"Dialogue" Jerky robotic movement "Dialogue"
And that's what passes for structure.
No scene setting, no description, blank faces, place hand on wherever. No depth, nothing in their heads.
Instruction manual, that's all it is.
But no matter how hard I try, I can't made the movement fluid, or describe surroundings or faces or anything. Can't write visually to save my life, which of course totally discounts the possibility of ever writing original and barely works in fanfic.
Skeletonised.
My high school English teacher always said I needed to put meat on my bones, both writing and physical wise. But it's impossible.
