I love The Craft! Hee, it's such a reminder of younger, more flippant days. And I love Fairuza Balk. (Clearly I have much more discerning taste in music than in movies.)
Ugh, yeah, I started writing fic eight or nine years ago and those first ones were utter dreck. Time and practice. And while I agree that for some of us, age equals emotional maturity, I also think some people just seem to have that bent, that ability to get certain things across, emotionally, be sympathetic to characters they can't possibly understand. It's the only thing I can think of for some of the young writers out there who seem to capture some of that so beautifully. I assume they've also been writing since the cradle, considering how well they write. I have to remind myself I was off practicing other things in those years, and I can't be awesome at everything all the time. Yet.
