RE: Story telling Mentorship 4 : My bedroom Story.
Hey @chiguy,
I don't know what to tell you. The first part doesn't seem to relate to your bedroom, it seems to be more about the stories your mother told.
The second part... I wasn't expecting that at all.
This isn't quite what I asked for.
Thanks @michelle.gent for given that a read. I did not even think you would - it was long and time consuming even to the author.
I Am sorry if I have not produced what you expected. May be as I wrote, like every other writer, I got lost in my world of stories. May be my imaginations strolled a little away from the conventional track and expressed itself in its own style.
So that, my different bedrooms had different stories to tell not just about the bedspreads, but also about the man that lay on them.
However, I must as you thought me , learn to love what I write( especially those that extract a lot of energy from me- like this). I would read it daily and try to take it back to track.
Thanks once more for your support @michelle.gent
There is a reason I set these tasks - it's to see if you're disciplined enough to take my advice and instruction and create within the confines of it.
I can then see how well you write, how well you take instruction. If you were writing for a publishing house and they said write a story on your bedroom for inclusion in an anthology to get your name to a wider audience, and you wrote the story above, you'd lose that gig.
I fully agree that you must love your writing - absolutely!
But you must love it enough to see where you need help and to take heed of that help when it's offered.
If you can't commit one story to this mentorship group for the projects I set, then I can only think you aren't ready for the group yet.
Keep watching if you want to, and learn from what I tell the others, but I don't think you're disciplined enough in your writing yet.
I now understand your point better . Thanks once more!
