Look I know this has nothing to do with maple story, but I just wanna get some advice from you MMoers. Do you think my writing skills suck?
My end-of-year results had just been released. I was anticipating the moment I received my composition as I had always regarded my english writing to be strong. Then I got the upset of the year. 23/30!!! That is seriously pathetic. Yeah I was and am affected by it. I thought by writing stories my english would improve, but it took a turn for the worse. I did better last year.
So now I really want honest feedback. Is Winners & Losers nothing but a friggin waste of time? I spent so much effort and looking back, I realised I had been too proud of it. My story was not the least bit satisfying. I always had the perception that my english was strong. Well I’m wrong. That sucks big time.
I hope that posting this would take a load off my back. Please MMOers, I do not want people like Rasengan saying, ‘Yeah you top the rest. You’re the king of the world.’ I want honest feedback. No offense, Rasengan, but you always talked pretty highly of me.
And to make this related to maple,
OMG YESTERDAY I TRAINED DEVILRYFIRE FROM LVL52 TO LVL54 WITHOUT 2 TIMES XP! THAT ROCKS!

I liked winners & losers
it was a goooooood story
thats about a C
well depends on where you live
by national standards its a C
you dont compare your grades to your blogs lol
i guarantee half the blog writers here have less than average grades
23/30 times 100 = 76.67!
not bad? its an A1 in secondary school!
not bad? its an A1 in secondary school!”
Yeah A1 in my school but not up to my standards.
k, you are an officially a perfectionist.
76.6 is borderline A1 therefore he is striving higher
does that mean that it isnt anymore?
76.6% would be a ‘B’ in Canada. Wouldn’t be up to my standards either, no offence.
As for Winners & Losers, I think the plot is well developed, and interesting. Though, I would edge more on sentence structure and flow of the paragraphing. More interesting dialouge would be nice too, along with a wider vocabulary range.
*blinks*
I gotta stop now, I’m sounding like my english tutor.
I could do better. My highest is 29/30. This year is 27/30 *cry*
No offense though,
Anyway, congrats to ur mage. And I think ur Winners and Losers series rawks!
The main thing I noticed in your writing skills is that you don’t put ANY spaces between sentences and commas. Seriously. Add the spaces and you’re all set to go.

Oh really? Try copying this into a wrod document. I’m sure there ARE spaces.
Yep, do all your compositions in Microsoft Word so you can check your errors.
That’s not bad. I got a B in English, and that’s abt 60-70 marks only!
Its not too bad. Well just try harder. Plus I found a book called Winners and losers too!
eh, dont worry, english isnt my strong point either(english is my 2nd language)
but i still manage to get in A. probobly cuz im only in 8th grade
Its VERY DIFFICULT to be a continous and motivated writer. Few months ago, i was quite good at writing mmo stories, however i ran out of ideas and when other writers came in, they totally dorminated ur title
