...Are we allowed to pick a POV we've been writing from a bit lately IF it's still one that makes us uncomfortable? 'Cause I kind of deliberately write characters that make me uncomfortable as an effort to GET more comfortable with them.

If not I'll figure out a new one that I'm uncomfortable with.

AND YAY FORUM REVIVAL!!

Yay for forum revival!

Hmm... I'll see what I can come up with.

Pfft you do NOT suck at dialogue. XD But okay, point taken. I'll try and whip something up, then.

*frown*

I can't think of anything I'm UNCOMFORTABLE writing...just things that I'm BAD at writing. What do you mean by uncomfortable exactly?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

I want to do this. But I can't think of anything I dislike or am bad at. ...Wow, that was not egotistical at all, haha. I'm sure there are things I'm bad at. But I feel like it varies...on the day. Hm.
