WF seeks writing coach

[Fancy]

So yah--

I was told that i come off sounding like a truck-driver online. I thought that was pretty funny because i do talk w/a soft voice, and i avoid real-life confrontations unless they are w/my close friends. bwahaha!!


Can anybody give me advice on how to soften my online image?? If u get too critical..... i will :chair: :kick: :Punch:

[american idol]

LMAO.... ok

I find that when i talk online, it's like i'm really talking. I sit here and actually talk outloud while i'm typing. i can type pretty fast, so it's easy for me. I consider talking online like having a conversation. You still have to be yourself & use the slang you would normally use. I've seen some online/e-mail etiquite (sp?) articles before. Maybe do a google search on it. But honestly, I think you're fine.

the rest of us are too scared to respond!

[Kidrok (Hop)]

seriously, I've never seen where you've been TOO awful bad. Maybe some people are overly sensitive?

Fancy....when you get ready to park that Kenworth we can talk about it, lol.

And keep that Mike Tyson uppercut you are packing at home he he.




I find that using cyber slang at the end of sentances like lol, lmao, etc, or a good hearted emoticon usually keeps things on the lighter side.

Guess it is hard for some to guage the context of writing on the net.

I am willing to coach you if you help me train legs! rofl!

I bet that came from a board that I don't like too much.

Did it? Huh? Am I right? Eh?

Fancy,

With that scary avatar of yours I can see why folks might seem threatened. lol.

Ok. I'd think a bit serious, but not threatening or angry or what have you. Like AI said, I type like I talk and try to throw in the slang 'cause I would never in real life say because unless I'm tellin' the kids "Because I said so!" :p (Ok, in instances where it is required that I be more formal I can do it, but I'm slangin' away on the inside. ) If its typed, that's how I'd say it.

Maybe you enunciate more or are more serious than some of us, but there's nothing wrong with that. You could add smilies if you want to, but don't do it for anyone here. There are no feathers ruffled or panties wadded here. (maybe KR's, but he'll straighten them out) If it's somewhere else, just point the way and we'll send In-Human over for a snack. :dcchomp:

[Fancy]

lol

2 of my house mates carrie, and melissa(well she is an ex house-mate now because she finished her degree in the spring, and moved back to SC) were mocking me out. I have gotten responses back from my PM'S that make me feel all of a sudden masculine.

I do write like I am talking to someone tho. ROFL!!! OMG I'M A TRUCK DRIVER STUCK IN A WOMAN'S BODY!!

[TheLil'Missus]

Damn! Now I want a CB! What was that old country song about the kid talking to truckers on a CB? PapaBear? TeddyBear? Something. Not to mention Smokey and The Bandit! Woohoo!

I don't think i've heard that one, unless you're talking about that song CONVOY. I loved that song when I was a kid.

when i think of CB radios, the one thing that always, always, always comes to mind is DUKES OF HAZARD. "Shepard to lost sheep, Shepard to lost sheep, you got your ears on?"

[SuperSport]

Y'all are killing me....some of my favorite movies!!!

Convoy.....the "rubber duck" lol.

The Dukes of Hazzard...one of my all time favorites

Smokey and the Bandit....my all time favorite. When I was a kid, Burt Reynolds was the man! Everyone had a black trans am back then...at least all the young marines did where I grew up.
