Talk:I Am a Big Boy/@comment-33089254-20170916004919/@comment-25941663-20170916115311

Oh no, my beautiful comment section!

I know your criticism is not an honest one, but I'll respond to it since it may help you improve (plus I am stranded alone in my grandma's house for five minutes and have nothing to do).

The choice of words was a very conscious one. First of all, purple prose does not equal good story. Second, the whole story is written by a mentally ill person who thinks he's a boy. Using sophisticated words would break that image. If instead of going up the "sophistication ladder" you pointed out an instance where I had to "go down the ladder", you would have a very valid argument.

Remember to use the prose to enhance the story, not as a means to show off your thesaurus.
