On my semi-chapter that you kindly gave feedback on.
That was one of the most creatively helpful words *anyone* has ever spoke about my writing! :'D Unfortunately, I was born from my mother as a perfectionist; always do I start over on anything really and begin again. Which sadly repeats itself; I am never satisfied with anything I do. :( I was wondering once I fluently learn more "colorful" (as I enjoy describing it :D ) vocabulary and conduct a fresh start, I politely ask of you if you may read a part of it and give me more of your mega helpful feedback? I'd deeply appreciate it! :)
Plus, do you have any tips on learning vocabulary more easily and rapidly?

Hi there. You are more than welcome to share anything, anytime. I did enjoy reading it. So, you're a perfectionist? Channel it! What's great about 'satisfied' anyway? Once satisfied we stay where we are. We stop seeking and pushing ahead. We stop and stagnate. The down-side? The constant refining and polishing makes us so familiar with our work that we sometimes lose sight of it's true merit. It seems to have lost it's impact, but it is only familiarity which has blunted it. Don't be afraid to show your work to fresh eyes, people seeing it for the first time are better placed to see that spark. A similar thing occurs with photographers, and painters. And like a photographer, only exhibit your best! Regarding vocabulary, it's generally considered that a wide vocabulary is probably the best indication of someone's intellect. Why? Because it shows they have grown-up with and spend time with people of education and thus a large vocabulary. And it indicates we have probably at some time read books. You don't write in a stilted way, or show any signs of the limited vocabulary of life's less educated individuals. I don't want to be judgemental, but I'm sure you know what I mean? Just keep talking and interacting with the right people, and when you write never be tempted to 'come down a level' in an attempt to make yourself more accessible. It's up to them to 'come up a level'. There's more to 'vocabulary' than a count of how many words you know and employ in your everyday speech of course. You definitely have a broad emotional and visual vocabulary. The short passage you wrote paints 'word pictures' with very vivid, flowing brush-strokes and is very emotionally charged. Try not to lose this by overcomplicating things. Don't over-cook it, in other words! I don't know! Making things look intuitive, natural and simple is quite probably the hardest thing on earth to achieve, eh? How ironic! Hear from you again, I hope?
