Hey, thanks for the offer, but unfortunately I'm not taking on any at the moment. However, if you'd like a master, try hopping onto the servers once in a while. (Maybe you do that, but I'm just missing you.) You'll meet some JAK+ there who may potentially take you on. :)

On a note I have some questions and other things I would like to discuss, if I may.


exactly what questions were there? And your writing style is broken. Why did you write "if I may." that is usually a question and yet you finished with a full stop and you kept on going without any hope of an answer - so why was it written at all?

Quote:
What I'm trying to say is, my brain sends signals to my fingers, but somewhere along the line that signal doesn't get slowed down to counter act my slow typing speed. My do not track well either.


Most people can speak or have their inner monologue speak at a rate faster than they can either write or type, if you cannot slow that inner monologue to the speed that you're writing at I'm really surprised that you can write legibly at all.

It is kind of a skill that nobody needs to be taught, I think you need to learn to proof-read at any rate, that is to read over what you've written before submitting it and making sure it all makes sense.

Quote:
First you stated in one of your previous posts on my profile that I need to read more than one type of book, any suggestions?


The only books I personally own are Harry Potter, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. But it really depends on what you like, I've read loads of books and I'd generally recommend going to the local Library and just hiring out anything that takes your fancy. But try to go for authors with more credibility. There are some rather poor things getting published these days.

An author must know and love stories and how they go together. They have to know what makes a story actually seem like a story and not just a bunch of words. You seem to write lines of dialog over and over like a screenplay or something. Human minds remember things in images and not words, when you remember your favourite part of a book you see a scene in your head of the characters, not the words in the book. You have to paint a picture for people to see and I think you need to view examples of how this is done. Go read something ^_^

Quote:
Also on that same post you mentioned that J.K. Rowling is one of the richest women in the world, thanks Harry Potter Books. Its very distrubing to me that people of the religious faith that I belong to (I'm a Chirstian) build bond fires and burn Harry Potter books. That is no different than what the Nazis did in World War II to books written by Jews.


I mentioned J.K. Rowling because I think she is very good at writing stories, not because she is rich. Also everything else you said is like taking a grape from a vineyard of truth, relatively unrealistic, vague and doesn't really encompass the whole picture. You are saying Christians burn Harry Potter books, I'm a Christian and most people I know are and yet none of us have ever burned books of any kind.

It also has nothing to do with how Jews were treated in World War II. It is not even in the ball park of comparisant. Also if people burning books that involve fantasy witchcraft disturbs you then I think you may want to avoid American and European History 101. Stupid people aren't some recent developement, they have been around for a long time. Myth goes that once every thousand years the Moron Matriatch lays eggs that hatch into miniature morons that infest our lands. (the internet has jokes too ok)

Quote:
One last thing, you said my first story will never be published, well then read Sum Of All Fears, by Tom Clancy. The story deals with Islamic terrorists finding, then using a nuclear bomb.
Your first story will still never be published. Tom Clancy is totally irrelevant and has nothing to do with yours at all. You're missing the essential building blocks for proper writing and until you find them in a very good way, your stories aren't going to be pleasent to read. No one wants to read things that they have to guess at to understand, you have to make sense.

Sincerly your friend,
Lucas J. Ammons


No, you aren't and I don't know why you keep writing that.

P.S. I think you are writing about people you literally wish you were. This is not a good thing at all.

As for a reason why I have so many spelling errors is because my mind corrects the type, meaning I automatically say the right word(s).


I don't even know what that means but if you like writing any sort of prose, it MUST be legible for others who are trying to read it.

frankly i only post on peoples profiles when i have something to tell them, i also have absolutely no interest in Halo.

And why are you posting about me on other peoples profiles? thats really kind of creepy and weird. What is your obsession with us being 'friends'? I really don't know you at all and you certainly don't know me. Take things at a slower pace dude.

You obviously have not read my post very well. The respon that I have to respond is evidence of that.

The dispute between Dane and yourself is of no real concern for me. Dane is a big boy and can handle himself.
Other factors of your behavior thus far have me concerned however.

And I never once suggested you change your opinion . Where you got that from is a mystery to me. I however requested that you refrain from attacking others that do not share your views. You obviously have an internal filter, so you can choose what you type.

I keep a close eye on most things that occur on the forums and/or profiles in the JA. But this is by all means not an official warning. Meerly a suggestion to cool down a bit.
It's all fine and dandy to hold public debate on various subjects. It is not ok to lash out at those that would think diffrently to yourself.

I would like to stess that this is not a debate however. I made a judgement call based on your behavioural history and that is something you can not affect that this time.

I have seen a disturbng amount of disagreements and outbursts lately. The majority of which seem to grow from this profile.
I have looked through your various posts here and there, and I do not like what I am seeing. So let me enlighten you to some things you need to alter.

You may discuss the more controversial of topics here if they do not develope into any sort of flamewar. Some of your recent creation have been coming dangerously close to that. Mostly due to you thinking that your opinion weight more than anyone elses. This is incorrent.

I have also seen swearing in a few places. Something we also do not encourage here. You can state your case to someone, but you will do so in a polite and ordered manner.

That being said, a personal reflection. You will find it much easier to be here if you accept the fact that your view will not go together with others all the time. And they will have an equal right to push their side of it. After all, in most cases you opened the door for debate, thusly you must stand what comes out of that door.

So mind how you relate to others here and abide by common sense. And you might even have a long and happy stay here in the JA.

Excuse me but how dare you come to my profile and speak like that, if you read your comments alot of people dont agree with your opinions / writing, get used to critics they are here for good

as for death dont presume your the only person who has stared death in the face. i find it annoying that you think you are the only person to have this happen and to the fact you think it makes your opinion stronger just suggests you cant write unbaised theories.

Only a man can write that a women SHOULD keep a baby after a rape, you didnt take in to account any emotional distress on the victim at all and feel they should suffer trauma for life because you dont believe in something. I dont believe in alot of things like god for example, but i respewct the right that other people do believe in it, i dont push my non god opinion upon people as it isnt my right to do so.

If u dont like critics dont write again. And stop trying to get the sympathy vote from me about your death experiences, it wont work with me you have no idea about my life and how its been. i wouldnt burden anyone with it, i look to the future, i dont dwell in the past
