Would you critique it if i posted extracts of my writings

flourishingflorida @flourishingflorida (33) 8 Jun 09

I have lots of writing and i love getting them critiqued. unfortunately, most people i know don't seem all that interested in doing this. they would rather tell me 'great job', which doesn't qualify as critiquing to me. So, would...

flourishingflorida i just tried to paste an extract from my writing, but mylot wouldn't let me. something about '500' i don't understand. guess, i will have to type it all out or wait a bit till my blog meets the four months criteria to be featured here.

This is not writers block, but i can't seem to get myself to write

flourishingflorida @flourishingflorida (33) 8 Jun 09

For the past one month or more, i haven't been able to pen down any of the thoughts i have swirling in my head for a novel i am working on. It is not writers' block, i tell myself, since i'm full of ideas and have already worked...

flourishingflorida the thing is, i can't schedule my writing. i have never been able to do it. i have always been one who writes out of my feelings. when i am bursting with ideas, i pick up my laptop. and when i am low, i just surf the internet hoping to stimulate myself. i have...

Pregnancy triggers increased domestic violence!!!! Who knew

flourishingflorida @flourishingflorida (33) 8 Jun 09

i just read somewhere that pregnancy triggers increased domestic violence and was very shocked by it. I couldn't understand why, since a woman is possibly in her most vulnerable state when she is pregnant. Apparently, my husband...

flourishingflorida this was actually funny. i can imagine d woman getting fired up by your friend wanting a nice cup of tea when she was going crazy with pregnancy hormones. some couple of weeks ago, i screamed at my husband for asking me how i was feeling. you'd think i'd...

flourishingflorida oh, i can very well understand women getting violent during pregnancy. right now, my husband drives me insane with little things that he does. normally, i would be amused. but now, i like glare at him and almost scream 'i need my space!'. but, i think any...

flourishingflorida i think you have really summed it up very well. my pregnancy was planned, yet when it actually happened, it took us by surprise. the things i have to deal with, the extreme mood change etc! plus the financial implication. now, every penny matters, and we are...

flourishingflorida right now, i don't quite see anything motivating me. since i got pregnant, my health and mood has been one roller-coaster. maybe that is what is also affecting my writing - the hormones. thanks for the advice. will definitely look into it when i have my energy...

Is your writing affected by your moods?

amizon50 @amizon50 (34) • Canada 17 May 09

It's funny, I used to be easily depressed by things, I took a lot on myself and I found that I was really good at writing when I felt angry. It was such a great outlet for negative feelings. Now, though, despite my love for words...

flourishingflorida thanks a lot for that suggestion. i have just tried adding my blog here, but i'm just stuck something. the rules are pretty long, and may disqualify that blog i have existing now. which means i have to wait for four months before i can add a blog! aargh!

flourishingflorida thanks a lot. i have been there. i used to be a part of which a website. i really did give, but didn't get anything in return. finally, i just gave up. how does one get other members attracted to their page? i think that is something i am quite awful at.
