Tut tut, basing the quality of a writer on his internet personality? Little premature, no?Surely it would be an indication of shitty acting skills, which I've never claimed otherwise. My writing is, however, solid gold. I'll be the next Chekhov, trust.

Acting? No. Acting is all about body language and facial expression and tone of voice. This was just shitty writing. Maybe one day you will be, but from what I've read you have a long way to go.

Oh dear, such lack of faith! Never fear, appreciation of true art will come to you in time.

I think Beks has a point, actually. If you were a great writer, you'd have been able to convince more of us.
Or at least maybe you'd have made more interesting posts.
And I really think it's stupid that you're suggesting that you have a better appreciation of true art than someone else.
It's not really relevant, but I have this thing called an opinion...

Oh honeybunch, as an art student they force art appreciation on me. What you did wasn't art. It was just lazy, shitty, boring and uninspired writing. On a so bad it was awful level.

If I really thought I was a better writer than anyone else here, then I wouldn't be on this forum boasting about it. I'm just cracking jokes in the face of criticism. Sure, I'm no Chekhov. Frankly, I have no idea how good a writer I am. I just go by my marks at Uni (which are high for my scripts and pretty crappy for everything else), and the feedback I get from my teachers (which is positive).

Give it a year or two. Inshalah, I'll be making money from my writing.

That's comedy gold right there.

Scripts, eh?
Well I've not read any of yours, but I am going to suggest gaining a better understanding of human emotion and reactions and such.
Seeing as you were writing as a character and failing to convince us...and lied a fair bit..again, unconvincingly...I am going to say that I am not exactly believing everything you're saying.

Y'know. At all.

Because it's hilarious. You actually think you will make money from it, despite statistics and the fact that you couldn't convince a community of peaceful, trusting people you were who you said you were. It was so jarring and wrong, I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy or sell that if you write like that all the time.

Ugh, and now you are boring again. As fun as it is to laugh at your stupidity, it's just not entertaining enough.
