Are You a Writer or a Reviewer

I love to write stories, but I strongly dislike writing critiques. If you give me a story face-to-face, then I would be glad to review it.....out loud.

So I chose writer, though I think there is another word that better describes what I like to do, dream!

Wait... this just dawned on me. I have more reviews and less works than Owl here, but my count is lower? (I have 483 reviews to 27 works)

Oh wow, I am an idiot. I accidentally multiplied by 10 when doing the mental math. On the calculator, it's more like 8 to 1. Yours is more like 18 to 1. You win.

Seriously guys, don't take Differential Equations. It robs you of the ability to do actual useful math. Even if you understood it so little you completely bombed the final.

I couldn't review myself out of a paper bag!

I'm a total writer. I'll review if I need to but sadly I'm a bit selfish about my work.

I'm a writer. I have trouble sitting through stories people write online, and I don't trust my own critique. This 2:1 thing is going to be hard for me. xD

I'm 31:405, which is about 1:13.

I'm more of a critiquer. I can critique any day, but I have to have inspiration (and patience and luck and... well, you get the point) to write. So while I often enjoy writing or editing more, critiques come more easily to me.

I think that was the "Pat Buchanan" option.

That's the one I selected anyway.

I'm both, but more of a reviewer...I still haven't posted any work here yet T_T

Just a reader, I'm afraid. x)
I'm a writer, but I don't post anything, because I have a severe fear of plagiarism (although I can't rationalize why someone would want to plagiarize my junk ;D ). And I'm just plain bad at reviewing, so...yeah.

Pat Buchanan! xD

I'm not sure... I've only posted 2 things on here, and done a few reviews (a few meaning under 10) but for me, the more I review, the easier I spot my own mistakes when re-reading. *shrugs* A bit of both, I guess.

Looks like 10 to me!

I'm a writer. I don't really like critiquing that much. It's not that I'm afraid to be harsh, but it's because it takes so long because I'm a little OCD about stopping at every single mistake and thing that I think is wrong and give advice on it.
And I don't want to review poems because poems are deeply personal things that are meant to be a little off I thin, and I don't like to tell someone that it's wrong.
But that's just me.

I don't know. I'm a bit of both really...

Probably more of a writer though...

Afeefah

Definitely a writer.
Reviewing is fun, It helps me get better and more experienced. I smile at the fact that I help others, but it takes away from writing, something that will actually help me achieve my goal.
