| Simple question, what aspect of eFedding do you feel you need to improve on?
For me, my main thing is descriptions. I see people like Kani, Rob and Mick with these amazing descriptions and try to model mine after their's, but I just can't seem to get it down. My descriptions are always the same basic stuff. They aren't bad, but they're far from great.
I could also be more consistent. I find myself lacking motivation a lot and writing bad matches because of it, like I did this week. |

| Variety in vocabulary. I always tend to describe things using the same words. |

| ^ That.
I've never been good with words, frankly, so I tend to repeat the same stuff over and over. It's irritated me for a number of years tbh. |

| Yeah, that's part of my descriptive problem. |

| Definitely that I need to find more time and inspiration on posts and lengthen them. |

| Willingness to use nicknames, because I know it reads better but it makes me feel stupid.
Starting sooner. >_>

| Consistency when writing matches. Some parts of my match I put real hard work into, and other parts of my match would feel rushed as hell. |

| My descriptions, selling and vocab for sure. Procrastinating on the match doesn't help either. |

| Consistency. I can be really good one month, then suck for a few weeks, then be decent, then good, then back to sucking. I don't have long-term consistency. |

| More work on description and entertainment of the match. I try to make it seem entertaining but sometimes I look back and it doesn't look that entertaining. |

| Toning down the description. I've read my matches and thought I was a pedantic prick afterwards.
Entertainment too I suppose. |

| Procrastinating. I fall into this sad routine where I put off writing until the last couple of days, then spend a huge block of time writing, which in turn makes me not want to write for days, and the process keeps repeating itself. Promos. I think I'm still stuck in 2010 writing mode when it comes to promos. I'd like to do some characterization through promos and build some matches and programs, but I know I'll put too much attention into it and lack on the actual graded match. Hopefully I can break myself and learn to write shorter, simpler segments. |

| I can't seem to nail an entertaining promo anymore, NOBODY READS THEM!!!
I tend to go apeshit with my running on sentences, and even after six years I never took Snoopz advice and worked on my structure.
The game is over, someone just hasn't told the player yet. Don't cry for me... I'm already dead. |
