I was reading a book review and one reviewer declared that
the authors writing skills are comparable to that of those who
write fanfiction; very poor.
Albeit, a little disgruntled at her comment,
I couldn't help but wonder...
what is it that says a writer is a "good" writier and the
writing is worth reading?
I love to write, and fanfiction is a way for me to practice
and grow as a writer. There are many individuals on here who
also write exceptionally well. I just thought her comment was
a bit brash, especially with the assumption that writing fanfiction
automatically pins you as a person who cannot write. I was also
a bit hurt because until now I've been confident in my writing, but
now I really am confused as to what makes words on paper "writing".
Thoughts?
Thank you!
