Whenever someone breathlessly declares "I am a Writer" (capitalization assumed), I think of Evie in The Mummy drawing herself up proudly and declaring "I am a librarian!"
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

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
Hee. I was just doing that outside as I was banging my head against a wall over work stress. In exactly that Evie tone.

Look for CliffBurns. He's in several places. You'll know him when you read him.
I haven't clicked on the link, but I swear, I KNOW that name from somewhere. As if I've run into him somewhere along the line before.
I'm almost a'skeered to click.

I love this line: I'm saying that for writers, ANY artist, encouragement shouldn't even be a factor.
Seriously, I'd die without hairpats.

You're supposed to be doing it to sooth the eternal artistic angst of your soul, not for anything so plebian as approval.
Oh, god, now he sounds like someone who reads Twilight

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
connie, I think if this group does any circling there will be more pointing and laughing - and snarking, lots of snarking - than anything else.

What? No Clue x Four? Aw, c'mon, pretty please? It'd be a stress reliever.

So...should I withdraw my advances and royalties in small bills, burn the money, and dance naked around it to warm my artist's soul?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I still want to know what kind of web server lets you write -- sorry, scribe -- to the drive in ink. If it's Apache, I'm pretty sure it's an add-on module.
