Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

(shrift, someone on LJ said that if John Sheppard were a word, that's the kind of word he'd be.)

Bless his homographic homophonic autantonymic heart. He's homoriffic!

Wankerific!

Ooh, I wonder how many books he's written? And where I can buy them! So I can burn them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ooh, I wonder how many books he's written?

A lot, clearly -- after all, real writers have written LITERALLY MILLIONS OF WORDS. (Even if his are mostly in his LJ).

Wankerific!

Seriously, because if you're not doing something professionally, you should never ever try it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And obviously there's no one out there who is paralyzed re-writing the first sentence of the book they have in mind, so the whole exercise of shitty first drafts is clearly useless.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's just...he had to have REALLY sat around thinking of reasons to be mad and then worked himslf into rageland.

I mean, I think it's a really neat writing exercise. I also think those people are Writers. Authors.

A whole mess of them may be shitty writers. Seriously, who cares?

I am so happy I finally got a space heater in my office this week.

This is on my list for next week. My office, which has no window, no heater, no ventilation and no actual light other than the floor lamp, is FREEZING. And lest people think I'm sad about my office (except for the temp which I am sad about), I LOVE My little closet because the one thing it does have which I desperately need is a DOOR.

Dude needs to chill. People who write are writers. NaNoWriMo is just an exercise in writing. Lots of writing is for the writer's sake alone .I don't think this is that much different.

I think some people have this idea of success or talent as a zero sum game. If any one is doing what they do, or heavens forfend have any success at it, there's less...I dunno...writing for them to do.
