You guys . . . . okay, I said my piece. No need to waste my time on this drama whether history, records, statistic, and whatever get involved. If some of you think that I'm a coward for backing out of this thread, that's fine. I don't really care for that because I am going to use that time to focus on building my worlds and lives for my characters.
Everyone can disagree. I want to ask everyone in this thread a few questions:
1) Are Mandarin Chinese, French, American Sign Language, Japanese, Greek, Spanish, Hindi, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese considered "languages"? And I don't meant just the ones that you can just speak or verbalize. But the category of Languages always have their own rules and cultures.
So if you only came to either learn or improve your English Language Usage or English version of story writing, then rules are rules.
By English's "rules", I do not meant the "traditional publishing" or "market trending" or "number stats" stuffs. Because I think that is just drama unless you want to make money and fame off your own stories.
2) I know that Americans are known for disrespecting cultures, customs, and sometimes languages worldwide. But if you are dissing the grammars by Capitalizing every first letter of a word in every sentence, abusing "said" to the point it's "He/She/I/Me/You/They/Name/Object said, said, said", having 10 paragraphs made of 5 run-on sentences, "it's vs. its" confusion, jamming all your dialogue quotations into one paragraph of details, not specifying the identities of your speakers when in dialogue mode like "1" "2" "3" "4", misusing certain concepts when it's already existed and misrepresenting those concepts like "naiads" which are painted as "dark element succubus demons" when NAIADS ARE WATER NYMPHS, and etc. Those are criticisms that writers need some times to think about.
English grammars are not supposed to attack your stories, but your way of formatting structures written in English language have become a problem because the Feedbackers spotted this issue not just 1 time, but 25 times.
If I am an American who decide to write in any of the language listed in Question 1, but keep doing all that is listed above and refuse to fix the repetitive errors when noted by Native Speakers about it, then I must be an Idiot who only write to disrespect other people's language and cultures. This will escalate to international politic dramas because Readers only understand certain part and will misunderstand the rest.
So what the hell are your intentions and what messages are you trying to tell the worlds through your story?
3) If you are here to write your OWN stories NOT for money, fame, but for fun, self-experiment, and to tell a story, then WHAT THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU GUYS ALL DOING HERE DEBATING, LURKING, OR TROLLING ON THIS THREAD AND NOT TAKING THAT DRAMA-RAGE TIME TO WORK OUT YOUR OWN STORIES' WORLDS AND DO SHIT STUFF WITH YOUR CHARACTERS' PLOTS?
GETTING ALL THAT RAGE OVER YOUR WRITING STYLE BEING DISSED FOR NOT BEING SO "ENGLISH LIT RULES" AND SPENDING THAT DRAMA TIME TO ARGUE BACK AND FORTH WILL GET NO ONE NOWHERE TO COMPLETION.
I don't really care if I am hated for saying this. JUST BECAUSE YOUR BOOKS JUST BECAME A GREAT SALE OR ACCEPTED DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN USE THAT TO SLAP YOUR IDEALS AND SUCCESSES ON PEOPLE'S FACES ESPECIALLY ON POTENTIAL WRITERS WHO GOT THEIR OWN DREAMS AND THE WRITERS THAT ONLY CAME TO TELL THEIR STORIES AND SHARE IDEAS.
SO BE DONE WITH YOUR DRAMA and get back to your own storytelling. The story you tell is not just for the world around you, but for yourself.
Know your priority. Is this story an art or profit? Then write it like one!
Is this story for you or for others? Then write it like one and don't you dare expect anything from people!
You all could use that emotional drama time as fuels to grow your story worlds instead of fuck-fighting people on the internet. Just to be sure, IF YOU ASK FOR FEEDBACKS, you will not be given praises, but GET ALL the commentaries plus notes on everything you did to your writing.
Ask yourself this when editing, "If I change it, will that make my characters, my setting, my explanations, or my plot clear?"
NOT the "Will the changes impact your styles?"
Being a writer is to create a world for yourself to hold in your hands before sharing with others.
Disregard that, then your world's just wasted sands and you will feel hurt very hard and empty at this worst time.
