Monthly Writing Prompt
I love words! Words make great prompts and lead to new ideas. So today scroll through your dictionary, spontaneously choose a word. Don't search, just pick, and use this word to help you write. Use it to steer your main character, twist your plot or to bring your latest work to a epic end. No matter what word you randomly get, write. Write until you can't write anymore!
Writing Tip
Our monthly writing tips are written by our very own TerishD. You can read more in Terish's Blog located in "The Abstractions" area of the forum.

Accept Criticism

Had a person respond to a critique of their story by saying that he planned on 'berating me.' He however thought better about it. Now, I can be cruel in my critiques, but I was not cruel to him. I gave him what I felt was a solid appraisal of his writing. It takes work to write, and to have that effort said to be inferior does hurt. To get good one however needs to understand that others might have a clearer vision than oneself.

We all have our styles and tastes in what we want in a story. The ideal state is where you are writing what you want and how you want with others simply remarking on their opinion of the action and characters. I will admit that I prefer a style not acceptable by modern publishers, so I had to learn to write in a different manner. I have some old stories that I have not edited, because I prefer the way I wrote them more than the way I would write them today. I however accept that I am writing for others to read them, so I presently write in the manner that they would want them.

I had to listen to others to make my writing worthy of getting people to read it without complaint. I did not like some of the things I was told, but instead of 'berating them,' I thought better about it. I am a better writer because of it, and I believe the same will apply to authors that listen to the wisdom of others.

Agents Abroad.
Tiny rooms in basements somewhere not far from the docks,
pink light ,no air-conditions. Cartagena girls on contract going
from city to city, best years were as shorts as footballers; only
girls had shorter contracts. I remember this because Obama’s
security guards, coming to a foreign country went wild, living
as they do in a country where the puritans rule, those caught
philandering like Tiger Woods, get his balls cut off and he will
never be great again. Ok, Obama’s guards should be mortified
it is just the freedom to be a man not having going through
rituals of courtships must be great. Not easy to be American
male squeezed into an iron jumper of the moral brigade, all is
legal as long as you don’t get caught…and if you get trapped
go to the nearest church and confess in public, tell everyone
you are a Christians who have sinned, you’ll be forgiven if you
castigate enough, tears will help; but remember do not argue
with a prostitute.
