Author Topic: Death's Embrace - Chapter 1 [9/21/2010]  (Read 1543 times)

From what I see, a lot of the time we have writers on this forums that don't, by the technicalities of writing, suck, but end up doing boring cliched stuff that is painful to read no matter how good of a writer you are. You have to be a loving bona-fide genius to make war/stealth/infiltration/espionage/zombie stories interesting. Honestly, you have to have a disturbingly powerful mind to weave a plot that would compel me to read past that three paragraph drabness. I even skimmed most of the stuff you posted.

As I said I was making a CLICHE story. I'm only doing this so I can get feedback. Also I would appreciate it if you read the entire thing before criticizing.

Anyways here's a short little, cliche story I'm working on. I'm not the greatest writer but I hope you enjoy it.

I finished reading. It's cliched alright.

besides, why get feedback on writing that's going to suck? That's like an artist saying "well I wanted to use only magic markers so please criticize this".

You have a point. I guess it's mostly just because I'm too lazy to take the time to think of a good topic.

I abandoned the Amber story.
We all kind of expected this, don't worry. ;)

You have just admitted to putting little effort into your story.

I said the topic, not the content itself.
