I also like a lot about your writing, but I tend to focus on the things that I find lacking. You're obviously very smart, have a very large vocabulary, and can provide a good narrative, at least technically speaking. I just think this particular piece of text didn't arouse anything in me, nor did it make me want to keep reading after a while. This is just my opinion, it's entirely possible other people will judge it differently.
It's a good thing I write for myself, then!
I hope you feel better for having offered your opinion, 1.0. It's duly noted.
And here I thought I was being nice with this post, explaining the previous one. But it turns out I did exactly the opposite.
It's good to write for yourself, it's a very therapeutic and nice experience. But writing just for yourself generally produces bad writing, I think. It is a lot easier, though.
