Why be so god damn anal about something that means absolutely jack shit to you?

Surely not for the enjoyment of the rest of us....

Oh yeah, it is easier just to say 'no good' or 'sh*t' instead of actually utilizing what the forum is for, helping people with their songwriting.

Always shedding new light on things for me PTS.

Be fair she`s hardly the first person on this forum to say 'this isn`t very good but i`d like some feedback on it'

I've had this same discussion with other people too.
I'll find it.

I hardly think bitching about her posting something that she didnt completely like is "utilizing what the forum is for".

Why would you want something you know isn't the best you can do critiqued? Do the best that you can possibly do, and then listen to ways to improve upon that. That is how you improve your writing. Not by posting something you know is sh*t just to fill up a song.

Filler means i tried, but nothing seemed good enough for those few i lines liked. I have my ups and downs with writing. I also have a rather large vocab but where i can't spell very well.. i get freaked out and don't even use words other then what i can spell which makes my writings even more dull. But for the words i let myself use, and how i go about useing the normal words i choose to use i think i do alright.. but thats all do. I do try and all i want and care for are good or bad opinions. Even tho i know my writings aren't good and i think they pretty much suck other then a line or two.. the songs as a whole mean a lot to me.. cliched or not there mine and from my heart/ and mind.. get it?

Telling her to post what she feels represents her best effort, and having that critiqued isn't a good strategy for improving your writing? I bet any songwriter would disagree with you there big boy.

That's right, quit arguing.

Sounds to me like what she posts is her best effort...and she just is'nt a very good song writer. She seems perfectly fine with that. It seems like a waste to tell her that she shouldnt post a song that doesn't represent her best effort, when she practically states that this is the best work that she could put forth at the moment. But for the sake of saving this thread from a pointless argument, I rest my case.

well.. she asked us what we thought
and we're all nice christians so we helped her

why the big deal?

~~bungalow~~ · 05-18-2006, 06:57 AM

She said it was filler.
That means sh*t she threw in so that it would take up space. You actually try if you are just going to call it filler.

Of course now she will say that she did try her best.

Oh well, the song is total sh*t and you should quit writing forever because your music will never go anywhere.
