Hhehe. It's an observation. I was critiquing and found some useless detail on this writer's piece. I pointed out, the "The lifeguard's buttocks and breasts bounced as she pranced across the sandy beach. It reminded me of baywatch." Three paragraphs of it.
Or the ominous red box at the bakery. And when I pointed that out. She said that she wanted to give the readers a visual. I was like oh okay!
And when I critiqued it, I begun to realize something. The saying, "Write for yourself!" After writing scenes of my story, because I felt compelled to write it. I was being taken over. And after I wrote it, something about it made me feel icky so I posted it here. I calmed down after hearing that most of you enjoyed it. A lot of the readers enjoyed it. Which compelled me to write more. And when I wrote the next chapter, for the reader's satisfaction, which did not turn out well, and after a critter pointed out that my character turned out to be wooden puppets. Reading it, I found that he was right. I was so mad! I wanted to go back and edit it so badly, but I had to finish the book first. I was too concerned about my readers.
And now. I begun to realize that I should write for me and not for the readers to like. I really wanted to make the best book out there, beat J.K Rowling one day or rival Stephen King and Dan Brown. Have movies made out of my book, have lots of fans make fanfiction out of it, have lots of interviews. Have toys and action figures. (Depressed. *Sigh* I have to dream!) Regardless, I have to write for myself, because if I write the story for the sake of the readers it's going to read out as awkward. THey won't like it. (Ironic, isn't it?) I leaned a lot from that and hope to finish my book by November, when I plan to start college.
That is all. (Sorry, I just had something to say.)
I had a feeling there's an exception to this.
