Used to

---

THis used to be a great place People with integrity and honesty and talent for writing Friends that stalked you And commented on everything you submitted Not afraid to offer kind critisim when due Today most all who frequent are the young and immature writer Or those with clichéd riddeled thoughts Angst filled youngsters unaware of the beauty of God's plan And too naive to seek it Gone are the days of true friends and those willing to assist, Those with constructive thoughts and words of praise Replaced by cowards hiding behind the annominity of the web

Hmmmm, so I am new and will never know what once was and can't identify too much. I do see a lot of the "This used to be a great place" messages. So here would be my "kind criticism". Look for the plus in this site. Young people are interested in writing. There are several writers that still put out quality pieces. Several that consistently comment. I've ran into a few that give a good english lesson in their comments. We can always find fault in things but I'm optimistic about finding those pearls of wisdom in today's site. What I like about this piece is its honesty. Nothing was unclear. It reminded me of all the other pieces that wished it was what it was. The website coward and annominity comment was quite strongly felt by me so good job on relaying that emotion through words. As far as seeking God's plan I love him already. He prolly doesn't like it when you're unhappy. :/

oooh harsh that last two lines. Me? Im just too lazy to type most of the time. had flavours of a slight rant this obviously. Let the immature writers keep writing they may find their way to God in maturity. Kate
