tshirt and ripped jeans

I'm just a plain writer.
Yes, I'm a writer....or at least I think.

there have always been those people who encourage me to write. there have been those people who say otherwise.

the most recent example of the latter was possibly the worst writing teacher ever.

"It's not sophisticated enough. It needs work."

It's not sophisticated?
Since when did writing have to be sophisticated?
I love my writing style. It's personal, conversational, relatable. Why do I need my writing to be sophisticated?

I never have been one to want to dress up, even for play.
I'm a tshirt and ripped jeans kinda person.
And I think that comes across in my writing with a certain type of character that no one else can imitate.

I've tried to be sophisticated in my writing and it changed into something I didn't quite like.
Hence, tshirt and jeans.
Hence, my writing style.
Don't try to change that.
