Writing since 2016 to find the fine line between the bittersweet beauty of sorrow and the feeling of deep human connection, creating worlds that provide shelter from reality, but also embrace its way of being.
I occasionally write comments/critiques that could be short stories on their own, so sorry for all the flooded comment sections 😅
Read into my current novel "Celluloid", if you are interested!

    I think calling THAT a date would be a bit far-fetched. I mean ... like ... they are ... uhm ... I-it's not an official one at least 🫣

    And I know what you mean. For me there were some people who even went as far as to read my stories (most didn't as well), but even if they did the feedback was mostly just a "Yeah, it's really great!" - which is nothing I'd want to nag about ... but whenever asking in more detail what they thought could be improved, they always said it was perfect and nothing needed to be changed. I somehow felt that they liked it, but were still far away from enjoying it the same like "real" novels.
    And maybe that's just my view as an artist, but I think that every work has something that can be improved about it - even if that's just a personal opinion and nothing that'd be considered flawed by standards of good writing. It's like whatever you do, people say they like it, but in the end some of the buzz slowly dies down, because it didn't have the impact you intended it to have. Sometimes I wonder if there would ever be someone else loving a work more than it's author ...
    But maybe you're glad (or scared 😅) to hear that I usually spam the last comment section of the novels I read (sometimes I even had to split the comment up since it exceeded the 10k character limit 😅). So I hope I can at least give you some feedback on your writing! I think that is a great key to improving - like without you, my characters would still chat in classic standard English 😉 (Thank you so much for that!)

    I get what you mean with your take on perfect works (or rather ones that aim to get close to it). And yes, it's exactly like that! The arthouse movies he loves so much for example are so great because they have visionary writers that know how to package their intentions into a story that feels very much real, but is still unique. He only saw the real part and was too self-conscious to create something that involved deeply with his own interests and feelings. But that'll hopefully be resolved very soon with her help 😶‍🌫️
    Thanks for reading and your long comments! I really appreciate those 😊❤️
