So I'm saving my old stuff from Geocities...
...geez, self. I'm getting a headache from the pile of crap I wrote years ago.
Dear Fic Writer from 10 Years Ago:
- Please stop writing song fics. Stories with the titles 'My Love' and 'From This Moment On' are annoying to see, let alone click and read.
- Stories should never be told in paragraph form. Spaces between dialogues are a very welcomed sight.
- Proper use of punctuations, tenses, contractions, and observance of subject-verb agreement please!
- Purple prose? Eew. No. Stay away from them!
- Drama? Eternal swearing of everlasting love? Yawn. Ugh.
On the other hand:
- Kudos to you writing because you have tons of ideas. Tons.
- More so for you're doing it because you love it and you like the hours you spend on writing and because you have no one to please but yourself. You write not to solicit reviews but because you find happiness in it. You steal minutes just to write! Your future self is quite envious of you because of this.
