yeah that's difficult. i write too, and i publish some online. the site i'm using doesn't pay much so i don't think i continue using it to get paid. i guess i just want my work to be appreciated. my constant worry is whether or not the people who read my stuff could understand it or not. sometimes we become too engrossed with all the imagery and symbolism that it might be too difficult for others to understand. but it turned out that readers DO understand my work, regardless of the metaphors i use. they give comments you see.;) the key, i guess, is to write with honesty; write with your heart, and the gap between you and your reader will bridge itself.:)

expressions may vary from places to places in a country. metaphorical figure of speech from your own, others may not understand. there are really talented writers than even without researching they could easily catch and give someone's attention and taste. writing what you feels, does not really necessary to serve as a bridge or an instrument between you and your reader. writing to impress readers i think it is the most necessary thing, while writing from your heart, not everyone can relate.

hmm... that might be true. anyway, i'm only talking from experience (not that i'm a pro at writing or something, just describing how writing online is for me). i only write from experience and most of the time my work sprout from current sentiments. i don't know, but they're effective somehow, or at least that's what my readers (who are also writers themselves) say. maybe experiences in writing vary so much that opinions about it differ in the same way.

I don't think writing should be kept so simple. Perhaps some poetry can be, or maybe when making notes or certain children's stories. Otherwise, writing should be what YOU the writer wants to make of it. Some of the best articles and stories are made of up of complicated scenes and dialog. The more details the better. It helps the read to really feel like they are there. Writing should be like painting. It can be simple or elaborate but as long as the reader gets your message or your point, then your creation was effective. So no, I disagree. Simple is NOT always the best way to write. Your writing style and the purpose of your piece is more important and worth the extra work. Just my opinion. =D

I sat and thought, not long ago ... I asked someone, more than a hurt, I think I would fit besides writing. Question not take me by surprise, but as much as I have sought the answer is the same: "I do not know. I do not know. None that I care. " I sat and thought, all recently ... always say that those who write stories others steal to pass through their filter. It is true that you can not write if you live, no matter how much you steal, no matter how much you dilute the story, the filters own secret recipe, in a laboratory where thoughts come and go, always looking for the perfect story and an alchemist philosopher's stone ... if not you live. "And then, who am I"? "I do not know. I do not know. None that I care. "I am a voice, echoing their living through events and others. Before I was someone else, nothing. Could it be that writing is an activity directed against self destructive? People like stories. I take them somewhere far away. Away from themselves and what surrounds them. They would like to forget. To look as it creates the look itself. Writing depersonalizes, although many believe that those who write demonstrate courage - courage to show to other people without masks.
