The only thing worse than a wall of text is a wall of prose in the wrong place.

So you don’t like my writing? Or you don’t like its content? Or you don’t think this is the place to post it? or its too long?

1. I wouldn't know, I don't like prose, and didn't read it.

2. Repeat

3. Correct

4. Correct

ok fair enough would you read it if it was shorter

Write some music and make this a song! Don't stop writing because one critic, who doesn't even bother to read this, has something negative to say. The words are very profound!

I didn't criticize his writing. And no writer who crumbles at criticism will survive as a writer.

It comes with the territory.

Thanks for the encouragement!! It was a bit too long before I shortened it. either way I wont stop writing its a great way to express myself even if I write something and never share it. I accept the fact that some people won't like it I just thought I would share.

Jason,

If you are serious about writing, I want to tell you a couple of things.

One, if you find any success, all the words you have written in the public domain will be examined. Keep that in mind.

Criticism is exactly what you seek in your beginning. It is vital.

Good writers are good writers because they know how the audience is responding to their words.

They know that because they listened to the audience tell them how they responded.

It is your best teacher.

Sobi,

Thanks I am serious about writing but I have not really considered it as a career or anything. I just like to write on occasion. I agree with you 100% which is why I shortened it. Not much more else I can do with it to please you it is what it is. I am always willing to improve on whatever it is I do. Thanks again I truly appreciate your input.

I'm going to risk redundancy here by repeating myself.

That thing about all your writing in the public domain,.....

Use a pseudonym. Especially if young.

Youthful words have a way of biting one in the rear later on when one wants to sound dignified.
