Banabi Banba Serkonos If I say something is rude, you can't put me in a situation where you pick what emotion I feel. Because I wasn't offended. I simply saw it as rude. Doesn't mean I'm offended by it. Yes, I could have used flaw instead of kink or quirk, but that's actually what I meant to say. Not in the sexual affliction type of way, but in the writing sense. I'm not trying to make anything sound nice either. Now, your side note. I don't have a favorite book, but instead it's a trilogy of 'em. The Maze Runner Trilogy is my favorite altogether, never read Harry Potter, though. OKAY! This is good, this is literally my point right now. You say, I can't put you in a situation where I pick what emotion you're are feeling. I didn't. You did. You chose the words. The words conveyed a feeling. The words don't magically pick up on what you mean when you write them. The words already means a specific thing by themselves. This is why choosing words is so important. When you say "I thought you were rude." it means "I'm communicating offense to you." You can't count on the person on the other end automatically knowing that you were objectively pointing out rudeness while remaining unaffected. I didn't pick what you meant. You said something that didn't accurately represent what you meant. Understand? In writing there is no body language. No facial expressions. I'm not in your head. The things you write when you read them might make sense because you already know what they mean but someone else reading them has no clue. So when you're writing, try really hard to put yourself in the audiences shoes. Pretend you don't know what you were feeling or thinking when you wrote the words, and see if they carry the message you want. Never read Mazerunner. I will suggest to you practically ANYTHING by Scott Westerfeld. My favorite of his are the Uglies trilogy along with the Fourth book Extras (kind of a sequal but really its own thing) And also the Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman. Do yourself this favor. And read Harry Potter, for the love of god, seriously. I know this. I used rude as in you were being ill-mannered toward me. Which, I thought you were. This does not imply I was offended. You made the assumption that I was offended. If I haven't been clear, I'm NOT offended. I don't think I'll take a shot at the books in the Harry Potter series, but instead go on to watch the movies. I know, I haven't watched them either! Never heard of those other authors, but I have heard of the Uglies. Anyway, there's a trailer for the Maze Runner if you'd like to take a gander. I also just noticed that you're part of Garth's crew. I've known him for quite a bit now. I'm sure he'll laugh his arse off over this, or, as nicely as he can, tell me to back off.

As far as writing goes, there's no contemporary author better than JK
