I was just getting out of my shell, saying hi to new members and posting on profiles.

Being friendly is always a good way to go. Flies and honey and all that.

Two questions for ya

1) have you seen the new mad max yet? I told my old lady when we walked out that you would love it
2) have you got a kettlebell yet?

There might be kettlebells at the nearby YMCA, I'll have to see about membership.

And yes, I fucking love Mad Max: Fury Road.

Not kidding about what? Writing? If that's the case why are you watching a movie?

I meant to say that I'm not going to pop in a movie UNTIL I write at least ten pages.

I have been reading some of the advice given in previous pages lately.

I need a "not holding my breath" rating.

I'm going to when I get home. I've got nothing big planned for tomorrow, so I might be staying up late. I should write some. EDIT: To prove I'm not kidding, I'm going to celebrate by popping in a movie.

How does watching a movie help you. . .?

Connor, ten pages is a bit much. You're going to get not even halfway through & then have a hissy fit when people call you out on it. Why not try five pages? Or three?
 
You should read through the criticism in the Alphaboy thread. Some of it's a little harshly-worded, but there's some good advice. I'd love to see you respond to some of it. Also, I'd recommend you focus on a single project, instead of jumping between a bunch of them.
 
Hey Connor. Looking forward to your next piece.

And I'm not saying this in some sort of bitter way. I've recently seen two Kiwis that I recognized and, to some extent, liked, shit themselves and hurl themselves into the gorge of autism, so I'm hoping that you can cheer up my day by showing some modicum of improvement.

Please don't let me down.

RIP Hurling and Shitting KIWIS
 
Actual conversation, as of thirty seconds ago-

Me: "Oh, Connor posted again?"
The Knife: "What's he saying now?"
Me: "Hold on. (reads thread)"
The Knife: "Well?"
Me: "He's...he's...He's being perfectly pleasant. He's talking about how nice a day he had, how much he's going to write tonight, and he's actually answering questions in a sane, reasonable way."
The Knife: "Woah. Are we in some kinda bizzaro backwards universe? Did you step through a wormgate or something?"
Me: "I know. I wish we had a video feed. I'd love to see if this 'Connor' has a goatee."
 
So Connor have you now decided for the day that every single member of the Farms aren't big bad monsters out to get you who will never say anything positive about your writing even if you were the next JK Rowling?

I know tomorrow we'll be back to being "fuckers" but it's nice to switch things up for a change
 
The Connor cycle seems to be progressing at breakneck speed lately.

@Connor Bible, some serious advice: you talk about being too hard on yourself like it's a bad thing. It's not. Being your harshest critic is an essential skill for anyone involved in any creative endeavour, but it's only half the picture. You also need to learn to be your greatest cheerleader, and to be able to tell yourself that even if your work sucks now, you have the skills and persistence to rework and rework until it turns into something good. And if you don't have the skills and persistence, you sit down and force yourself to work as though you were a disciplined, determined person, and eventually you'll become one.

Another thing: have you ever seen those books that give you little writing exercises? Not only are they a good way to practise your writing, but they're fun, and they're a great way to loosen up and stop taking yourself so seriously.
