Hey guys, you have really talked tall and revealed mountain. One fundemental issue was forgot by all of you i.e What are the way of extricating oneself from such imperfection? Can we, eh? Well I think I'll start trying......waiting![]()
The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.

Oh, well.
1. I'm shy. Wait, did I say shy? I meant: I am the personfication of shyness!
2. Once I start talking, there's no end. I can talk, talk, talk - See? Still talking -, talk and so forth...
3. I tend to be lazy too.
4. I also tend to repeat myself. But I'm not sure whether that's a fault, it's just - I say something and while saying it, I think 'Hey, I can phrase that better, I'm afraid, they didn't really get what I wanted to say' and thus, say it again - with more detail.
5. I am a worldclass sniveller. I can cry because of almost anything, preferably relatives making comments about my clothes, shoes, hairstyle, weight, et cetera.
6. I tend to show what I'm feeling on my face. Really. Roll eyes at people who disturb my sense of justice with their sense of justice(Relatives again!), e.g.

I hope I don't have anymore faults! I'm still working on those mentioned above.

Yes, I am.
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
I used to have this exact same problem...solved it by constantly repeating the following mantra in my head every time I opened my mouth:
"Shut up Shannon." "Shut up Shannon." "Shut up Shannon."
lol. It really forced me to get what I wanted out, and nothing more...and I saved all of the "better" ways of saying thigs for my writing...really improved my writing that way!
edit: oh! yes, I also meant to say that I am trying to work on my little personality defects all the time, and it is so silly because I'll get them under control and then others will surface, so I think I should just wait for a set of defects to surface that I am okay with and let those stick, lol.
