For my long time readers... · 1:59am Nov 4th, 2014
Apart from thank you for sticking with it for... geez, years now, I was going to ask you all a question. I suppose this is for short time readers too... or really any readers...
You guys are all awesome and it is never said enough.
But that isn't a question. The questions was: do you guys think my writing is better during action scenes or during character scenes? I seem to be a horrible judge of the quality of my own work, and I always thought that my action scenes were better because I could picture the whole thing in my head (The chases, the fights, the war scenes, the rescues, etc) but I have been complemented a lot on the character scenes, which are always hard for me since so many little subtleties go into dialogue that it is extremely hard to convey (the bandaging scene, the proposal, the monologues, the letters, the verbal fights...) since nobody is DOING anything, they're just talking. They always feel flat and it takes me a lot longer to wrap my head around them and get them to a point that I like.
(And then I went and made my big finale to the Ink Well Saga be hundreds of pages long and primarily character scenes... apparently because I hate myself.)
So I figured I would ask you guys your thoughts. I just write for the feedback and to know people like the story... Broke as I am, if I was doing it for the money, I'd have put up a donate button long ago... (though if I ever write a book, I do expect you guys to buy it.) So yeah, let me know what you think!
Your faithful writer,

I left an actual comment on dA, but I figured you could use some love here too. ^_^

I feel like the character scenes are best, although that's based more on personal preference than difference in quality.
