I would love for you to help with my work if that is what you're offering to do. Another thing I noticed is your spectacular vocabulary. I understand the only way to get that is to read. Unfortunately I'm not able to carry books around at work, my wife has plenty. I'm confined to reading from my phone.

Any reading no matter what it is helps with vocab. My boys have barely touched any 'real' books as in fiction/non fiction but they read a lot online, articles, japanese cartoons and their vocab is tremendous. It doesn't matter what you read, a lot of new writers think they can improve their vocab by reading books. Thing is, and I was talking about this very thing to someone yesterday, I haven't touvhed a 'real' book since I joined wattpad and this occured to me the other day, when I picked one up because I remembered a quote from it. Very difficult to write and also 'read' in the traditional sense, so basically, read anything, even if it's the newspaper or on your phone. Also, get out on here and chat. That helps tremendously too as it creates new neural pathways in your brain... when you comment on different stuff. Don't over-complicate it, you have the words, you just don't believe it yet. Been there. And sure, happy to help out, if this will motivate you, and give you the 'writing' frame of mind. See how much I waffle on not just privately but publicly? All that is adding to my vocab. Get out there :)

Sorry, I type in the dark (middle of the night) and my lit up keyboard died so excuse the spelling errors lol till I replace it.

Don't worry about corrections. I understood what you were saying. I also like Anime and Manga. I read those all the time. Perhaps it is me holding myself back that messes with my vocabulary. I remember being 14 and my writing being far more detailed and filled with much more variety for words.

Haha my sons read those no end! And yes, it most certainly is YOU holding you back, nothing and no one else...Dylan, my oldest boy throws this at me all the time. I am attempting my first 'non-fiction romance story' because Robert challenged me to get 'out of my comfort zone'. For me, writing this type of story is like travelling to the moon. You read my work, I only ever write about what I know, about 'real' stuff. So anyway, this romance thing revolves around a train carriage set upon a hill I stayed overnight in some months back. Since my stay there, it keeps calling me to return. I hesitate. Son then says "Just go, what's stopping you?" It's me stopping me, me being afraid to tackle something new see? So despite all this stuff you see me publishing, I still suffer from lack of confidence and belief in my ability? So I will repeat Dylan's words: What's stopping you? Apart from yourself ;)

Smart boy you have there.

You know, you're a very easy person to talk to; even for someone like me. Though I've run out of things to say, with me wanting this conversation to continue. If that makes sense.

From what I've read, you do enjoy deep conversation. With me, it doesn't really get that far. How do I converse better?

Well, tell me a little bit more about your life. Relate a story or something that bothers you, that's always a good place to start?

As for my life, it is on auto pilot. I go to work in a tiremold factory, engraving sidewalls. Basically my machine is programmed to write what you would read on a tire. I just pick the program, set the feed rate, the speed of my spindle, and the depth of the cut. I read stories and smoke a lot of cigarettes here. Money I don't have but I need them to keep me going. I had quit smoking for over a year but suffered a recent head injury that resulted in memory loss. I couldn't even function and was expected to work. So I finish my work and go home. Get what little sleep I can and play with my son. He's a wonderful boy and he's very intelligent. At eight months he started talking and people were astounded at what he knew. My life continuous this daily. Day after day I live my life doing the same thing. No escape from this reality and I bury myself in fantasy. Right now it is reading, but my imagination often runs wild and I'm in a different world altogether. I'm no longer the man I once was. I am a shell of the person I used to be.

Well I'm stuck in this townhouse caring after both parents and two teenage boys. I live in my room, I am the night shift, so wake at about midnight and write so on, pick up dad if he falls out of bed blah blah, I got rear-ended by two cars at great speeds and suffered permanent nerve damage to a nerve in the middle of my back so live in excruciating pain most of the time since I am the only driver and can't take strong meds... So I live the same day over and over too, only difference is money is not an issue... Everyone has something going on. Robert's first grandson is fighting for his life battling leukemia...

We all carry burdens friend, the thing is to rise above them and make the best of whatever situation we are in... I think I may have mentioned this quote, but will say it again. "Today is just a day, not the rest of your life..." And if tomorrow sucks too, then it's just another day, not the rest of your life see??? But you're going about it the wrong way, trying to escape it? You need to embrace it instead, see it for what it is and see what you can find in there that matters to you. Your son for instance. Write about him. You have a lot to be thankful for, so try shifting your focus away from the negative and find something grateful in each day. Hell, you're alive!!! Go read my piece about what that means. Will give you the link.
