The road to hell is paved...
...with good intentions. I hope to anything these intentions of mine hold, though.
Primarily, however, my thanks to you for stopping by, whoever you may be.
So, why am I being so odd and schizophrenic / secretive with my journals? Really it's not that bad, and rather simple:
I have finally decided to get truly serious about writing something-- something good and cohesive and thoughtful and not my usual half-arsed "whatever I can bang out in one sitting and toss up on
thexyboombang because I am a feedback whore". It is to that end that I put out the call to any of you, all of whom have impressed me at some point or another with your literary ability, hoping for critique and commentary in a more controlled setting so that I might take this opportunity to both become a better writer on the whole and produce something I can proudly stand behind and call my own. I don't ask for unfaltering, instant feedback on everything I post here. Nor do I ask for kindly, constant ego trips. But I do appeal to those writers more experienced than I who might have the time to offer a realistic critique now and then, and to anyone who has thoughts on the story and/or on how I could improve it.
Everything beyond this post will be friendslocked (not for any sort of elitism, but simply because if I am going to 'publish' the finished piece somewhere I do not want it sitting on public-tier LiveJournal). If you're one of the sort who would be willing to chime in every so often, then just drop a quick comment to this post and add
rainbows1984 to your friends, and I'll add you back before you can say three shakes of a lamb's tail.
Ta,
-M
