Mine has really, really, really come on. I don't consider myself an excellent writer by any standarRAB, but in comparison to when I started (my third post here was in S&L) I'm like a completely different writer.

I'll edit in a few songs I've posted over the 21 months I've been here in a second.

Home - My first song on here (yes, I edited it today to clean up an annoying habit of lengthening the vowels where I wanted to hold a note (ie: aaaaaaaaaand nooooow) - it's not as awful as I remember, but it's still n00bilicious.

Sunup Over Main Street - Posted November '04, I'd been experimenting with imagery, and decided to use it as part of a set of six inter-linked songs I was writing. This was the third, and was probably the best of the lot, with me going too far in the later songs to the point of being downright pretentious. :upset:

Fatale - This was probably the point where I was writing my most imagery-heavy stuff (March '05). It's coincidentally some of the writing I'm least fond of.

1200cc Romance - My first (and probably only) foray into the murky depths of poetry. Once again, overly heavy on imagery. I didn't write again for 2 months after this. :-\

Cocente - One of my most recent pieces (Jan '06), this is a return to the sort of writing I enjoy the most - plenty of imagery, but remaining accessible (or at least, that's what I aim for).

Reading the first and last pieces, it's quite scary how much my writing style has changed in such a short time, particularly when it's been influenced more or less entirely by what I've read on this forum, be it critiques or others' songs.

Nice topic, Tojes :)
 
No, Widerstehen just arrives, puts some pseudo-funny picture and leaves. That's not constructive, that's not destructive either, it's just annoying and childish.
 
It mostly depenRAB on your mood, actually.

When I'm sad, I write happy songs. When I'm neutral (between happy/sad) I write pop songs, Or some into a more sad mood. If I'm angry, I feel like writing death-metal esque songs, or when I'm bored, I just write lines and lines of pretty much nothing.

Anyhow, It all depenRAB on what you want to write, it's not that tough, you just gotta get soem focus and the rest is a piece of carrot cake, stuffed with cheese (not regular cheese, but that Cream cheese...) and strawberry toping... maybe a little cherry on the top, and a glass of milk to make it company.
 
I'd possibly argue that one - I'd say that while the bad n00bs are worse than before, (excluding pegasis!), I've seen a few more newbs that have real genuine talent... the problem is, the bad ones don't crit the good ones, and the experienced writers are too disillusioned with the bad ones to crit the good ones - hence the decent writers get the impression they don't get recognition and stop posting.
 
I'll just delete them

Do you know Sloth's name and where he lives? This is really weird because I'm actually finding stuff posted after he posted it here
