Well I'm glad you liked my feed-back! It took me quite a while to figure out what to say
Although I appreciate the fact that you think I can write like you, I don't think that I have the necessary vocabulary yet, but that should come with time.
Don't be worry about getting me depressed, I got over rather fast, I had a great afternoon after I read your story.
What do you mean by fire?
You said, in your original feedback:
"You have this... fire inside of you that brings your story alive, I don't care how good you are in writing; if you don't have that your story isn't worth it."
Alright, everyone. Some news.
Firstly, I have for the second day in a row tried to declutter my room, and with partial success. It is from this process that I store away original drafts of every old story I have written and ah, so emotional. And it is from this that I stumbled across a few of my old story ideas, and amazingly, I still want to start some of those projects.
So I remembered that, a few months before, I have abandoned the opportunity to work on one project and instead decided to work on Brotherly Love. Now that this is done, and its reception was relatively well, there's no reason why I can't get back to it...
When this thread reaches 500 posts, I will post a thread which will contain all my short stories ever written for R.S., plus some new ones, as well as the prequels of sequels of The Priceless etc.
Once that has reached 500 posts, depending whether my above project is finished, I will likely post it here too, but it probably will not be a masterpiece.
Then after that, I might write one more and call it quits, depending on reception
On top of all that, I probably will have a co-authorship project at some point in the future.
I do all this because I have a novel in my head and it would require my very best. I would like to use these opportunities to hone my craft a little first. I'm also recruiting supporters for my project too, so if you're kind and supportive, and don't mind doing some reading in your spare time, talk to me.
Lastly, given that I am currently in charge of the Adopt a Writer Program, TNG Certificates of Reviewing, and Second in Command in TNG, I am going to have to be extremely efficient to be able to do everything.
Alright, that's everything

You make it tempting to spam this thread English.
"He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."
Hey, Niht - spamming won't actually count
And Ruben, thanks ever so much! Though the subject matter of the novel will still be the same and, as it is not aimed for this forum, I will probably be a bit more explicit
Mmm, this doesn't look good for next year:
Proposed writing projects:
1) English's Forgotten Stories
-Just a thread with everything else I have written for R.S., and some new ones, before I quit the forum last year.
2) The Best Kind of Fiction
-I need to do some medical research for this. I'll try to keep it short and to the point. Do expect everything you'd expect from any of my longer works
3) Title not yet finalised
-This will have to wait a bit, but essentially, a nightmare scenario, with themes of child abuse and how the past affect the present.
4) Title not yet finalised
-The co-authorship project is still at its designing stage. I will however confirm that my partner is a skilled writer
------------------
Obviously, I'm not aiming to write to a standard anymore. It does inhibit the flow of words and imagination. And most importantly, it takes the enjoyment of writing out of everything, by wanting to impress. So I'm going to step down a little on that.
The project 'The Best Kind of Fiction' was the one that I had dug up recently. I think it's a moving story (or should be, although I'm quite desensitised from it all now) and I hope you guys enjoy it, when my new thread reaches 500 posts.
(It's just that when a new thread of mine comes out, it steals all the posts
)
Lastly, some of you did ask me to write something 'outside' of my comfort zone, write something different, and write about a different subject, as the formats of my two stories are the 'same' and are tiring. I just wanted to say that I already am challenged by both of my projects as neither of them are easy to write. If you are bored, then leave. I don't want to write anything that I don't want to write. Simple as. It's nothing about comfort zones at all.
