An opinion on writing

Hey Inkbots,


I'm having a lot of fun rewriting the first chapter of my first online novel, which is set to debut in January, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't kicked my ass a few times. You see writing isn't so much about having a cool idea, although it helps, it's about problem solving; it's about having your story make sense. Often times writers write stories as if they're writing love letters to themselves (including  yours truly), which creates a  void between the reader and the written piece of art. Furthermore, readers tend to have a good gauge on whether the complexity of a written work is intentional. So, if the mass majority of your readers don't understand what you're talking about, don't think that your work is too smart, know that it isn't smart enough.


Until tomorrow Inkbots ;P
