ORIGINAL: MrBrittingham Not really relishing the task of having to live up to being labeled as fancying myself as a wordsmith, just pops in for the benefit of ms. omegaG with a little Wordsmith Apprentice Philosophy... My own experience with teaching writing to children is that some love it from the start, but most don't. A common misconception is that writing (especially "creative" writing) is a special gift that can't be taught. Wrong! If that suspicion is lurking in your mind, you will be ahead of the game if you understand this simple fact: Writing is a craft. Any craft can be taught. How does one learn? By learning how to use the tools, mastering the techniques, and practicing. Of course, it helps if the student brings some enthusiasm to the task. Wordsmith Apprentice attempts to arouse that enthusiasm and build those vital skills. The most important thing, of course is, to never forget to put in a healthy dose of shits and giggles. This goes a long way in relating to those, whose attempts at sarcasm reveal a general sense of insecurity, however un-intentionally provoked. MB [;)] quote:
ORIGINAL: OmegaG OK, I read the OPs profile and Mr Brittinghams (just for shits and giggles) OP-- I think yours is cool, it's not too long, not too philosophical and not too full of yourself, I think you should just hang in there and be patient. Mr. Brittingham-- you fancy yourself as a wordsmith and take great pride in what you say, I would rather be with someone who liked to hear what others said as well. OP, I happen to know where you live (grew up 20 miles away) and I have to wonder if you are locked to that location or you are planning on going somewhere else, besides you, there isn't much of a draw to your area (she couldn't even find a motel close by for an initial visit). Though I am often sarcastic, there was not one hint of sarcasm in that post. It is obvious that you think yourself clever with words. I didn't even comment on the truth of this matter, I merely made the observation. But you nailed me, alright, so insecure that I need validation from strange people on the internet. Though I wish you wouldn't have outed me, I had everyone else fooled this whole time. (now there might be some sarcasm in this post)
