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!
