I definitely see what you mean. There’s nothing worse than going through the trouble to write something, whether it happens to be a short poem or a ten-page English paper, and getting absolutely no feedback for it in return. I’m willing to bet that the greater majority of people who join this Web site do not just do so initially to showcase their…[Read more]

For Those Who Actually Reply : 10 months, 3 weeks agoI used a Firefox app that randomly led me to this Web site some weeks ago and thought it would be a good motivator to get me to practice my writing every day. (Like you, Smith!) I’ll own up to the fact that I’m still pretty bad about consistency, but I find the one word concept a good prompt for a good few minutes a day. (Although I don’t…[Read more]

I think my main issue isn’t that people don’t pay attention to the posts of others on the primary page, but that they ignore each other on the group pages, including in groups, which were created so that people could give one another critique. As of yet, I haven’t seen a single person comment on another’s post. It’s a depressingly…[Read more]

I don’t think the lack of member-response and constructive criticism is a problem, here. If groups want to be created dedicated to criticism and constructive writing, then members favoring that idea should go for it. Otherwise, it seems like oneword is simply a really interesting outlet and exercise for writers; we get stimulation, exposure to…[Read more]

@Scream: I find it funny that you seem to have missed my point entirely and ironic that /you’re/ calling me pretentious. I was critiquing the lack of involvement in oneword groups that are specifically designed as places for feedback. There are numerous groups on this site that in their descriptions say they are for constructive criticism, yet…[Read more]

@Avonlea: Hopefully we can work on our writing and communication skills together. ;] I’d eventually like to figure out some exercises that we can do in this group.

Write Now: 11 months agoI write this sitting in the kitchen sink. That is. . .
- Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle (1948)(If you’re looking for examples. . .)
I recently stumbled upon a Web site that lists some of the finest opening lines from books, which I think many of us would find enjoyable to skim through (just Google ”the-best-100-opening-lines-from-books”–it’s…[Read more]

I held the tiny key in my hand, light and burnished brass, with a little red bow tied to its handle. After pondering awhile, I surveyed the long narrow hall before me, with tall wooden doors on either side, leading along down the corridor until they vanished out of sight. Step after step I began [...]
