Ponderings...
Last night I was in a writing mood, but did not know what to write. Looking for inspiration, I went to Literotica...
I was disappointed. Every story I tried to read had so many grammar flaws, so many mistakes and incomplete sentences, and what I thought was even worse, disjointed plots and sentences that made the stories unreadable. It was as if somebody pulled a bunch of sex scenes from a bin and then had a fourth grader add them together to make a story. Actually, I think a fourth grader's grammar would be better.
This is not the first time I've been disappointed trolling Lit.com...but it was not as apparent as last night when I spent THREE hours going over stories trying to find something that triggered some spark.
Am I alone in thinking stories have been going downhill...or has it always been like this and I never noticed? People have said they enjoy my writings because they are involved, they are descriptive, and they have plots above the average "this is my hot wife, we had my friend come over and she spread her legs and let him fuck him" type stories.
Have I become too picky and cynical in my writing career that nothing but my own work seems to meet expectations? I don't think I'm great...I'm not that egotistical, but from what I saw last night, I write a whole lot better than the majority of people who are posting on Lit these days.
Makes me wonder how some of the bad comments I've gotten even arose when there is so much crap already out there, LOL.
Anyways, my 0.02 cents worth...needless to say, found nothing really to light that spark and went to bed frustrated and not having touched any of my stories...hopefully better luck these next few days when I have some quiet and alone time ;)
