My comfort zone when writing falls in the fantasy category. I have been known to venture into poetry, mostly when some personal event has elevated love or anger. I have recently set two stories out that deal with real events that I will post here as well. My current project is a sharp deviation. I am attempting to write a crime drama, set during a true historical event. To further complicate matters I am writing the story with two leads in first person. I think you need to push yourself these ways to make your writing overall better.
As I am not professional I welcome any and all feedback, even if it's bad. Better to know where I'm making mistakes so I can fix them. Nothing worse than being told you're good when you're not. Much like the young lady who stands on stage at the x Factor auditions and belts out the most off-key song in the history of music...because nobody wanted to tell her she sucked.
