Question: Am I overly critical, or is there some really bad writing posted here!?
I make allowances for age and experience, and I have seen some good writing, and writing with real potential, here in Books and Authors!. But most of the stuff is just awful, irredeemably awful!

Am I being overly critical!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't think you are being overly critical!. It seems as though people try to flatter the author in order to be selected as best answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, you're right!. Most of the people that post stuff on here aren't that good; much of it is absolute crap!. Much of the questions here ask for quick, easy answers; a lot of the answers could be found if the askers spent five seconds on Google!. The same extends to writing - if you ask here, you're more likely to just be seeking approval, because that's what the system is best for!. Stuff like that isn't what most serious writers want!.

Most of the good writers probably found a better place to get advice and feedback - nothing where people answer "its good i lik it kep ritin" for a few points!. And better review systems!.

Or even if they haven't, after a look through here it doesn't seem like a place they want to put any writing in!. I certainly wouldn't, even if I just glanced at the first three pages of questions - if I actually looked into them, I'd probably just be more convinced!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No you're not!. Some of it is just terrible!.
If i think i can offer something constructive, i do!. If i can point out something that i thought was good, i will!. I try to be kind and blunt when i do answer someone!.
However most of the time i read something and don't say anything!. Because there is nothing good i can say!. And i won't just say "it sucks" even if i think it did!.
And most of the time, when someone Does criticize, an argument follows and i'm not going there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Are you kidding!? I totally agree with you! Some people can't write!.!.!.at least not yet!. I guess if they keep working on their writing then they can become better, but some poeple cannot write at all!. You definately aren't overly critical :PWww@QuestionHome@Com

But how can they improve if they don't get constructive criticism!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

nope, not at all!. Some of this stuff is absolute trash!. Not that I would post that, but still!.!.!.!.But there is also some really good stuff on here tooWww@QuestionHome@Com

Nope, you're right!. Most of the writing on here is terrible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
