| | Well, one of my friends was recently reading a passage from the book "Eragon" in mockery of the terrible content of the book. His complaint was that the author put far too much emphasis on the main female character's beauty, among other things. When I heard the passage, the imagery reminded me of my own writing style and brought a very disturbing question to my mind: is my work equally trashy? As I play the even back in my mind over and over again, I wonder if anyone proficient in literature (no matter how barely so) can produce what I can. To put it simply, I don't know if I'm a good writer. Am I just one of thousands who use detailed imagery ineffectively or stupidly? Am I one of the ignorant masses of modern writers that simply writes crap and gets paid? If any of you few readers would like to respond, feel free, but please, if you want to sway me one way or another, put a little thought into your comments. If you just want to make me feel better, that's ok, too. I don't even know why I bother to write in this thing sometimes, given my steady decline in readers.
