I've been contributing to Six Sentences over the last bit of time.
Some of it isn't bad, some is, well....
What isn't realised is, it's fiction. I take something I've heard or some small event and I fictionalise it.
Some comments on my work lead me to believe people think it's my life there, being played out.
No, no, no... not at all. Not in any way, shape or form. Just.. words built around something.
With that said, after talking to a friend where I said it's odd when people go after a writer (based on comments posted after a 6S) for their work... I'm now looking at it from a different angle, and think, it's actually a bit of a compliment, to move a reader to the point they associate your fictional character(s) with the writer.
hmmm.

other places i write
quotes i love
- "I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman." (Anais Nin)
- May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and everyone of us.
- "Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous, than absolutely boring."
- Fear need not be a tool of realism. I think I'm going to work with it.
- "...a season of love. it is only found in someone else's heart. right now, some one you know is looking for it, and it's in you."
- "to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but, also dream; not only plan, but, also believe." ~anatole frace
- "at night, when the objective world has slunk back into its cavern and left dreamers to their own, there come inspirations and capabilities impossible at any less magical and quiet hour. no one knows whether or not he is a writer unless he has tried writing at night." ~h.p. lovecraft
these? these are important...

very true
means your writing is real and believable
the reader gets lost in the narrator's voice thinking he / she is real and speaking to you
Thanks for the URL; you'd said you thought I should try it.
cathrine~thank you for that kind comment.
r~you should, indeed.
You know, I realised what an excellent actor Samuel L. Jackson was when I started hating him because of one of the characters he played (can't even remember which now, but he was a nasty piece of work). Now I love the guy. Can totally see his brilliance. But it wasn't until I went through hating him with a passion that I came to the 'love' and realised how gifted he was as an actor.
Same for writers and their constructions.
