Young Writers Society

Hello chocoholic,

I'm reviewing this piece for RevMo:)

As starlitmind said, this piece is so relatable! Every paragraph speaks out to me. I love the informal tone this took.

Many people love writing, but everybody finds it hard.

The pen stays in the air until the person gives up, and the keys are untouched until Word is cancelled and games opened.

Yes, you heard me correctly. The writing mood.

When you have writers block, usually you want to write, but can’t.

Then you come back and sit down, and you just think, ‘I can’t be bothered doing this anymore’

Hey there! I'm here courtesy of RevMo

I love how relatable this piece is. It's almost humourous in a way. I loved seeing your approach on writer's block, or as you call it, the "writing mood." Your reasons are pretty valid, which also makes this very relatable. There's not much for me to critique about this given its informal tone and topic, but there are just a few things I'd like to point out!

That is called writers block, but perhaps there is also another reason.

When you have writers block, usually you want to write, but can’t. With the writing mood, you can write, but don’t want to.

Maybe it’s because you were writing, and then you had to go and do something else. Then you come back and sit down, and you just think, ‘I can’t be bothered doing this anymore’. Then you give up and leave.

I was writing a story on the family laptop, and my dad had to use it. I cancelled my page and came to my computer. I don’t want to write. I don’t want to re-write what I just wrote, I don’t want to write anything else. I just don’t want to write.

(yes, sometimes I actually do want to do my homework)

It's even harder to write today b/c of all the extraneous sources there are. I mean, I'm a huge NBA fan and I can get every single game for just $90, of course I'm going to do that, and knowing that a really entertaining game is on makes it pretty hard to write, or concentrate to write.

The writing mood? Yep it happens A LOT.

I always seem to get it in the chapters i haven't particularly planned out or have written before and I loath it with a passion! I want to write but can't. THEN I'll think of what i'm going to write and eureka! *light bulb flicks on* it all comes flooding back. THEN I have to do homework and by the time I've finished I've forgotton and the circle starts again.

what i guess I'm trying to say is I DEFINITELY know where you're coming from!!!!!!!

I liked it at the beginning, it sounded as if you were going to start a good discussion about something insightful. Though, at the end, it seemed as if you just started to go off in a rant, and it lost its coherence. I'm not really sure what you wanted to do with this. It would have been better if you had explored the concept of the "writing mood" a bit more, because really, at the end you just kind of trailed off into, well, I don't know . Anyways, considereding you were bored and didn't feel like writing, this isn't half bad.

Exactly what I was thinking about! Some of my friends read what I write and keep on telling me: where's the next chapter? And I just say: I don't have time... while I'm just too in the Writing Mood. I like this name,lol.

It's true that the text is a little bit confused: but it reflects the way your mind goes and I like that. I prefer when I can go in the head of the writer, see what he/she thinks than just see the pattern he/she set for me ^^.

O M G
really true!
I hate it when you want to write but can't! it annoys me so much it makes my mood all
lol
my poor family
Anyway, good work!

I know excatly what you mean by this!

When you first start out, you are talking about me. Well, you use third person, skip to second, and then to first. I'm not against the third-to-second switch, but either talk about professional authors and other people, or talk about yourself. It's hard to tell whether this is an information piece or a narrative personal essay. Don't make people have to choose, even though I know that you of course wrote it 'just for fun' (though I assume you didn't have fun writing it?)

Nice job on forcing yourself to write, but try not to make it evident that you're forcing yourself.

How very true...


>.<

Oh my God. I have experienced writing mood SO many times. I get kicked off the computer when an idea just pops up. Honestly, my dad sets a limit for me because I spend so much time thinking. We writers are not very understood.

It switches from third to first person very quickly. It seems kind of weird to me how that happens and it doesn't seem like the first two paragraphs flow very much because of that. Also, you repeat, "I don't want to write." Maybe just say it once, or say why you don't want to write in place of one of the phrases. I hope you don't have writer's block again. Sorry I critiqued something so old. *slaps head* Stupid me. Oh, well. Already done. Good job, though.

I don’t want to write. I don’t want to re-write what I just wrote, I don’t want to write anything else. I just don’t want to write.

And it’s not just writing, either. I’ve had it with homework (yes, sometimes I actually do want to do my homework), cleaning my room, getting up, reading, everything! Even eating.

hehehe

this is really good and its true.
I bet almost everyone feels like that sometimes.
I'm always being kicked off the computer just when i'm about to write
oh well

good work

p.s does your first sentence mean you are in a writing mood or not?
