Good lord, I wish I had made River body slam that kid.

So do i. I didnt realize just how annoyed i was with her. And i was excessively nice to her. I didnt even read it today, just skimming through, and it was bothering me.

Also, why are you looking at old posts.
I don't know anyone who puts themselves through that kind of torture for fun.

I think i started it. I like re reading it. I'm trying to get a better grasp on Alice's character though. I stopped rping her in january last year and didnt wake her back up. Until mid summer? And i just really need a refresher on what kind of person she is.

You guys are saying how bad you were, but hey, at least you improved. I wouldn’t know what that’s like. XD

You're joking right? I've been sitting here for a year and some going "look! Look at Frankie goooo!" My only other ref. Is WCBH. And Rex was so quiet.

I'm gonna complain about all you all complaining. You're better at it than you think. You dont notice that you've gotten better because you're aware of the fact it can still be improved, but with any kind of art writing included, there is always room for improvement. But it is the flaws in your work that makes the style your own. It makes it special and unique. Something you think is awful could be the best part to someone else.

So

Be happy with what you've made flaws and all, continue improving and be happy with what you think are your failures. They're just part of the learning process.

These are the words I've been trying to find all night.

Nope. Looking back at my old posts, everything is really choppy and there’s tons of typos. Like the time I accidentally put mourned instead of murmured, and everyone was freaking out. Although I guess that was technically autocorrects fault. XD

Yep, me too. I was afraid she'd take River's ruthlessness as my own, so I went easy on her XD

What I'm trying to say is:

I made 4 different ears. Are any of them exactly perfect? No. Does the viewer understand that they're ears? Yeah. Are there any that work better with the drawing it's attached to? Sure.

Would I use that same ear in every drawing because it looked best in this instance? No. Or at least not anymore. I used to only ever draw my ears like #2. No matter how they looked. Just because that was my idea of what an ear looked like. And I needed to make it "perfect" Now I realize that it depends on the drawing what kind of technique I need to use.

Same with RPing. Depending on what kind of posts you're replying to, or if you're not replying and just writing on your own, it's going to be different. To you it might not be what you like or prefer, but it comes out looking better for having been simplified, or more detailed, depending on what's actually needed.

Learning what's needed and when, it takes time. It takes practice, and it takes messing up. Looking back and seeing where the mistakes were, shows that you have improved. You're able to recognize now some of the areas where it could have been done differently. And that affects how you are writing now.
