sometimes I really wonder about the ages of the writers of umm uniquely written fanfic. Especially from writers who have quite a long list of fics they've completed, but their writing style hasn't improved or changed from one story to the next.

I think I had a bad/restless night of sleeping. I woke up with a headache. oh and I broke the cover for the light in my room...but my light no longer flickers when I turn it on, so that's good. now I need to get a cover for it so it's not super bright. maybe i'll take advantage of the limited natural lightening we have.

think I'll get ready to go to work. reports aren't going to type and organize themselves...

oh and thanks to delicatale, I have a wonderful Jason Mraz song in my head. maybe I'll be inspired to write something.

I often do the same thing. I'm an adult, and even I can see the VAST difference in my writing style and technique now as opposed to say... 10 years ago. I'm by no means prolific, but certainly even at one a year, you should see SOME change...

But I suppose that is the difference in some fic writers. Some of us write fic because it makes us creative, and we use it as an outlet to grow our skills. (Or in my case, we grow our skills because we want to do the fic verse justice... LOL) Others, just write because it amuses them and they have no interest in improvement.

I completely agree. I frequently go back and read my first ever fics and I'm like OMG I can't believe wrote like that and no one called me on it! But story to story and year to year, I could see a VAST improvement

Some of these writers, they truly make me laugh. They thank their "beta" but I find mistakes. a spelling error in someone's name once or twice is okay, but not throughout the entire chapter or section. That's just being lazy.
