Real writers accept critisim cool On a similar note.... real fans discuss the critism, as opposed to ignoring/denying it. This is just me musing, though biggrin

This topic MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!

My, that is a pitty. Freedom of speech is so distrurbing, isn't it? One wonders, however, why you came here if you were just going to be sick all over the place. rolleyes

Because i had to see why people could think that about Twilight. I am no vampire fan my self and you might not like the story line but dont compare it to really bad books or dis the writing

I would love to discuss it. I kinda want to know why people would think this stuff is so bad.

I'm wondering why she came in here too. xD If you're not here to debate... then what's the point of posting? People like that worry me.

But I thought you didn't want us to discuss it? I am confused. However, if you really want a debate, I'd be glad to give you one biggrin

Amen to that!

I can see both sides of the pancake. I can understand all the cliche points because well, its hard to not write cliche now a days because there are those writers that are lazy and hopeless romantics. They want wish fulfillment. But I can also see why people like it. So either way, I just like talking about what Meyer could have improved on.

Hypocrite, much? IF you don't like what we're doing, keep it to yourself. We're not forcing you to read it or anything.

As a writer myself, I know what it's like to take criticism. All the people that have ever said 'Don't be harsh because I don't like criticism...' It's like... Look at what you're doing. Writing is all about criticism and being able to accept it, and if you're smart, put that criticism to action. I do the same in the prose forum. If people say they can't handle criticism, I give my opinion to them straight up, no saying 'I liked it,' or 'It was okay'... or even.. 'Good'... I want to tell them the truth. Writers need to be able to handle the truth.

For me, when I've been told to rewrite something cause it just doesn't sound right, I do. I may not like it, but it always turns out that after rethinking a scene or even a huge section of a story, it turns out way better once I've had more time to think on it.

@Minari: I can totally see what you're saying about expressing certain feelings through actions. There are definitely a lot of things she could have done. I just read it to see what her writing style is, and looking at mine to see what I could improve on, even though we don't have a writing style. Reading helps see how different authors write, so you can eventually develop your own. ^.^

I thought it was pretty good, myself, but the name Bella reminded me of frogs... I dunno, maybe it was that episode of The Magic School Bus with the frog. Anyhow... yeah. Thats my opinion. xD

Damn straight! Finally a fan who gets it! Now I have a question for you: I've been debating over at the Official Thread (as you sawXD) and they keep brushing it off with, "she wasn't writing seriously, so you shouldn't criticize it". What do you think of that?

Well, it's like... if she wasn't writing seriously, then why was she writing at all? It doesn't make sense. You have to be serious about your writing or else there's no point. They shouldn't brush you off, but remember, many of them are obsessed to a point of no return. So you can let them stay in their own delusional world, and just know that you can see subtle nuances in her writing that could be greatly improved.
