My father and his side of the family are all well educated and bred an interest for knowledge in me which is great and I'm really thankful to them for that. I hold a lot of respect for my father. He's managed to hold onto his rationality and humility despite getting fucked over hugely in his life. He's got some small mental issues that surface now and then.

My mother, on the other hand, is a bit of a racist, uneducated bigot who jumps to conclusions along with the rest of her freaky fucking dutch aspergers-infested family of degenerate immigrants. That said, I do love my mother dearly. She just gets ahead of herself a lot.

not trying to be edgy against you here, but honestly, get out more. If you don't already 'get out', start doing so.

Taking me for example, starting university is the best thing that has happened to me recently, because I'm experiencing things.

Go out and experience things, anon, go DO something. Allow yourself to have feels, even if they're bad, because then you can feel happiness in the escape of those bad feels.

ITT: us writer-bros discuss our strengths and flaws as wannabe writers and offer help and advice to others.

I'll start off. I feel that I'm generally "good" enough at writing, but there's no real aspect of it that I shine in. my prose is readable, but nothing special. My plotting is okay. My ideas are unique and intuitive, and I can bring them out through writing. I can convey ideas through story, and make the reader kinda feel something. But you could say my "skill points" are equally distributed, and I'm just generally competent, bordering good, and that's the end of it.

My flaw is my characters. Not so much THE characters themselves, but rather bringing them out and making them shine through the writing. I suck mangy, rotten dick at it :(

You never answered my previous question, man :(

I haven't finished yet because I'm still writing it, and I'm a slow fucking writer to boot.

Also, it's the first novel I am set on actually completing, therefore I'm not getting too attached to it because I know it will probably turn out sub-par at best. At best.

Anyone else have this problem?
