Ridiculous!

Posted: Oct 24, 2009 Sat 09:29 am     Views: 127    Interacts: 6

So I start reading on Chowk, article after article by certain someones and I'm rather impressed with their (most author's) choice of words and placement, soon after the second paragraph, the author becomes less choosy, less fancy and definitely even less careful with spellings, symmetry, consistency and form. It's people like these that make me wonder why people should even go through the hassle of writing in the first place. Why can't they simply push the thought of to the next day once they get 'tired'? Why do they even have to write in the first place if they have to make such a conscious effort? As far as I'm concerned; as a reader, sometimes (an unimpressive) writer and a (usually confused) critic of haphazard rambling, I would advise such people to bring in (or out) the genuineness and not the hardest word possible for the tight squeeze. For honestly, I can see right through it; the pretense, the effort, the whole act of 'becoming'.

No body's perfect, I've pointed out where I am the unimpressive writer and the confused critic. Dropping out of school after my 11th grade, I have the perfect scapegoat. I would really appreciate if you could point out the mistakes, nothing to be embarrassed of, would just keep me from making them again.

The point isn't about making mistakes, point is using words that don't entirely fit the 'cause' and are used just to make people's work look fancy, the 'effort' puts one off.

However, I also think someone critiquing on other people's writing should take care to be above reproach her/himself. There are spelling and grammatical mistakes in the above piece of writing. Normally I would ignore these, but everybody loves to be critical of the critic:)

Reader is always cleverer than writer. S/he sees through all. No writer can fool a reader, yet often writers are oblivious of that. I call it WRITER'S BLIND SPOT.
