So hear me out.
I've been wanting to write this story for quite a while now and I've been writing chapters in advance for buffering.
So I was proofreading the heck out of my story the other day, when I suddenly feel like taking a break and read some other stories on SH.
Then as I was reading, it came upon me that the stories I read all had words that was quite intimidating. Lots of stories are using pretty and powerful words that if I hadn't had experience reading lots of books before I would had to refer a dictionary.
Now when I compare it with my wrtting. I can see that my choices of words are rather simple as compared to them. Not as simple as kindergarten language but you all get my point. I don't really use complex words in every paragraph.
All I really wanted to do is to just write out a piece without too much hassle, and I figured the readers would like to read it too without much of a hassle either.
But seeing the norm, I feel quite intimidated. So I want to change my writting a bit, but I can't help but feel that I'm just putting out complex words just for the sake of putting it.
What are your thoughts about this? Am I just paranoid or am I having writters scare?
