imo you don't need to be very fluent in english to write a novel, that's what editors are for.

you never said anything about way of thinking. you said that i lack imagination, which for all intents and purposes is an insult even if you supposedly didn't mean it that way.
i admit i overreacted, because something like that is a silly thing to get my panties in a twist about, but my point stands. you insulted me.

But that's for those without skill and those who're very lazy.

Pff.. think what you wanna think. I didn't insult anyone. It's just my opinion. (from my point of view) it's like someone wouldn't like the Scream and saying it's e.g. boring.. but nobody would start the 3rd world war just to prove it's not. Chill down. Again. Pwease. I laughed a bit to hard.. my stomach is aching..

It's pointless to make a drama out of it. It's just my opinion.

everyone needs an editor hun, even if you're super-fluent if you're writing a novel you're bound to make mistakes.
plus it's not language skill that makes a novel good because like i said that's what editors are for.
imo lazy people are those who write boring and cliche storylines, not ones who are grammar nazis.

Yeah.. but not to improve really bad choice of words but to correct little mistakes or dismatches in the harmonies of fluent reading..or something like that. (whatever. I'm not god. can't know all topics and subjects to 100 percent)

....wow.. Sure it's language skills (plus story and figures of speech, which is partially language skill)

And I didn't mention something about grammar. o.ô

no need to get defensive about it, i never said that you can or should, so i don't even know where that comment came from.

being able to create an interesting story has nothing to do with language skills, although putting it into words does.

being fluent in a language means using correct grammar all the time so yeah.

I just said that to escape a discussion because I'm from any point of view not a pro and in that case not able to discuss that kind of stuff..I'm not being defensive.. o.ö

That's what I meant with language skills. Juggling with words is skill enough.

That's a point.

okay.

hmm well i think that's more oratory than actual language fluency, although to use oratory in a given language you do need a certain degree of fluidity in it...
so basically one can be a very poor storyteller even when they are super-fluent. xD
