Everyone starts out that way.

The only real way to get better (like I can really talk here) is to write more.

Myaa, I don't know. I can't exactly imagine you ever being critical of me, even if it was for my own benefit. ^_^ Although perhaps it's simply that I've never done anything to give you cause. Bleeeh, I'm so messed up when it comes to my own self-opinion. ^_^

My opinion on what you do isn't dependent of what I think of you as a person.

I know, sorry. ^_^ I think it's just that I have severe trouble being critical and impartial when it comes to those that I care about. I tend to forget that others don't necessarily have the same handicap. ^^;;;

...so...um...thank you for the compliment? Is that what I'm supposed to say, instead of just shooting it down? ^^;;;

Let's just say that I like what you write, but that you don't.

Which, in turn, doesn't necessarily mean that you can't write, but that your writing isn't what you'd like it to be. :P

You've got talent, more than most of us when it comes down to it. It's a fact, and whether you like the sound of it or not, it's still true. Agreeing to it doesn't mean you're full of yourself or anything.

Yes, let's stick with that, then. ^_^

Still, I disagree that I have any more talent that most of you. ^_^ Talent in different fields, perhaps. But everyone here seems pretty good at at least something to me. ^^;;; I'll try not to deny that there are things that I can do fairly well (or at least things that I can do to a level that is pleasing to others), but I really don't think I'm any more apt or capable than anyone else here. You're all really bright, and I've learned a whole lot from being here... ^_^

...

Admittedly they weren't always things I wanted to learn. ^_^ But sometimes those sorts of things are important too.

Oh, but I was only talking about writing skills.

I mean, have you read Hypnos' stuff?
