While the excuse for "first pasta" is not the best, sometimes it's legit. I have only writen two pastas so far, but I love to write fanfics. I have never wrote anything remotely scary, and the one time I even thought about writing one was when I was planning on writing a gore-fest for a friend. I usually write drama and romance stuff, so scary stuff was really new to me. When I try to branch out to something different, I end up falling back on what I am used to since I've been doing it for so long.

I really don't want to go the gore route, but more psycological way. I had my friends read my first pastas, and all they said was that it wasn't scary. I ask for advice on how to improve it and they just changed subjects. I posted it here in hopes to get some pointers on how to improve the pasta, and only two people commented, one of which just said what my friend said.

So when someone says that it is their first pasta, don't just say that it is a poor excuse. Actually help them by giving suggestions. Not everyone can write horror/creepy right off the bat.
