Dear Mr. Spambot(s)

Seriously, you are breaking my heart and assaulting my ego.



Please, stop it.

Writing About Writing vol 21

  (yes, this is the permanent WaW image from now on)      After some discussion with a couple of people, I've decided that I will be doing this once a month for the foreseeable future...      The narration project was--... A challenge. In the challenge, I found that I have had to slightly alter how I approach the writing of a story. Today, we will discuss the necessity of embracing change, and welcoming challenges when it comes to growing creatively. Let's talk first about what had to change...      First was story length. As a general habit, I've approached this with a "my website, my rules" kinda thing and if I give y'all a 3500 or 5000-word story then that's what y'all getting. What I've learned setting up some stories as long as the lower side of that for narration is that my preferred narration tools are limited at or over 10:55 in length. For that reason, I'm limited to what I've noticed is about 1900 words now. This has, how...

True Story©... We Want It That Way!

     I knew this damned day was coming...  I knew as soon as I was "done" with it in September that I had not heard the last of this situation, and I said as much at the time.  I guess my only real source of "surprise" is how little time it took to come back to me.

Special Agent: Santa Claus

Part of me wants to feel bad for thinking it the actions of a reasonably-thinking human being to scribe something like this with a small child recently having moved into my house… The other side of me says “stop being a little bitch and keep typing, fa**got…” As things often go between the angel on one and devil on the other shoulder, here I am at the keyboard about to scribe some fantastically irresponsible shit. Today, we will be rationalizing the reasons that I feel that Santa Claus is actually a government agent. We can use the most popular work about the man’s dealings – “Santa Claus is coming to town” – to tie these things together. You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town! He's making a list, He's checking it twice, He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows when you'...
