Practice is useful for one's craft, writing fiction is practice for a writer, so writing fiction is useful to writers...such as yourself.<br /><br />Also the subject of your fiction is an example of practicing one's craft...fighting for the trainee, training for the trainer. Thought my comment could be applied to the subject of the fiction as well as the writing of fiction itself. I was trying to be clever, see?<br /><br />Obviously, I need to practice my own craft.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-29690367300504999692015-08-07T06:48:05.071-06:002015-08-07T06:48:05.071-06:00Something seems a bit off in the dialogue. Rather,...Something seems a bit off in the dialogue. Rather, there is some disconnect between the rational, elaborate thought in the narration, and the more abrupt, harsh dialogue. That could be a taste thing in my case. It could be a problem with your writing style and writing first-person fiction, as it seems he is much more educated in narration than in dialogue. It could be that this text is taken without any context necessary to understand the speaker.<br /><br />It was an interesting read though. I enjoy your writing, whether it is fiction, food, or D&D. <br /><br />Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939309042792833333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-57885398459474661512015-08-06T16:33:27.308-06:002015-08-06T16:33:27.308-06:00Are you telling me politely that it's crap or ...Are you telling me politely that it's crap or are you remarking on the need to still write fiction on a blog?<br /><br />Clarity, please.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-15192221310203838812015-08-06T15:59:38.604-06:002015-08-06T15:59:38.604-06:00Still got to practice your craft.
