It Gets Better [E] I like watching people, and oh boy, isn't it saddening? |
Greetings, Elon, and welcome to Writing.com! I’ve seen your work here previously and couldn’t decide if you were a “serious” member or not. I mean, I almost thought the name “Elon” was a spoof on the guy we know all too well these days Reading this item, I was touched by your thoughtfulness and consideration of the people you see passing by. I relate deeply to this on all sides, as I’m an introvert who prefers to watch people and write about them than actually interact with them. I know what compassion and empathy mean on paper, and I think I have those feelings, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to make them evident in the real world. I’m a Pisces, and I’ve always felt this deep dichotomy between so many angles of my life. The written word vs the spoken word, the visual vs the written, solitude vs companionship, atheism vs spirituality, excess vs minimalism, on and on. So, not knowing what else to do, I end up sitting back and watching the world pass me by most of the time. Have you figured out how to use the row of formatting tiles above the text entry box? "Writing.Com 101" has lots of useful info on how to make your items look their best. I always recommend Size 4 Verdana font for clarity and ease of reading. Genres are also a crucial element of WdC. People use them to browse for things they’re interested in reading, and they may not find your work if you don’t choose all three. I would recommend “Philosophy,” “Personal,” and “Inspirational” for this one. Be flexible and you’ll find lots of options. A word count at the top or in your subtitle is also a good idea so we know what we’re getting into. As a monologue of your thoughts, this is a well written and relatable piece. Even if it’s fictionalized, it shows you have a skill for crafting thought provoking and even uplifting items to share with us. Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
