And frankly... I don't see that.

When I look through posts, I see many that could use CC. And most of the CC is something vague such as: "You misplaced a few commas," or something insignificant (that could have been caught had the writer proof-read) such as: "You forgot the g in 'runnin'"
Other than that, the average KPer gets 2-3 comments of praise with perhaps one or two bits of CC that is unhelpfully minor.

Maybe it's because I'm not active in KP's community, maybe it's because I don't make friends or do anything other than post the occasional chapter every six months.

And maybe I'm the only one who thinks writing is more than just grammar/spelling/punctuation.
It used to be different...but in ways, you're right.
KP HAS helped me as an author, but probably not that much more than I would have grown from 2010 to 2012 anyway. But I think part of it is that we're able to be surrounded by people who love writing like us...so we can just keep going.

x_x *sniffles* I hate being sick.
ME TOO. I haven't been to school since Monday. It's making me really upset since I've missed at least two tests and I'm supposed to go to a birthday party tomorrow after school and I'm not even up to it, and my iPad's down and I have to get it fixed as Best Buy so I can't text my friends.

But I haven't just improved in grammar. I have more creative ideas, better dialogue and character development--those are the things that I think people are talking about when they say that they've improved.

Bullying (verbal), all that crap stuff.

I try to ignore it, but it's getting to me. And now, I'm just thinking that secondary school is turning my life into crap.

I don't really want to think about it, so I'm not going to tell you anymore.

I'm really sorry that this is happening to you, Owen. No-one deserves to be bullied, especially not awesome epykful people like you. You shouldn't have to put up with it. Have you told your parents/teachers?
Yeah. These things really suck. We're here for you, and we can hunt them down if you want us to. Sorry for reminding you about it.

I can't take it anymore.
I can't take life anymore.
I swear I'm just going to explode from all of the fricking pressure and crap.
I just can't take it.

*hugs* I sorta know what you are going through. With the pressure, if you are feeling too stressed, or just pressured, count to ten, take some deep breaths (In 7, hold 7, out 7, hold 7), and focus on one place on a wall, and relax. I know your family life is rough, but, you have a second family here, and I'm almost positive that we will be here, with you, and be here, for you... :o My contact tab is available. :D

But I am.
Food.
Yaaaaaaay.
