Writing serious fiction is HARD.
Writing is hard. For serious. The amount of privilege that dude is snorting should be fatal.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

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

Good god, that post uses hock as a verb twice.
Hock is a perfectly cromulent verb; it just doesn't mean what they think it means. He was hawking, not pawning something. It is eye-bleed worthy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hock is a perfectly cromulent verb;
Yeah, sorry. I was blinded by my rage.

I've pretty much stopped expecting even halfway good grammar, spelling, etc., from the internets. Except here. (hugs Buffistas to generous - and grammatical - bosom)

The word Cromulent always make me think of Conan. I need to look it up so I know what it really means.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Writing is hard. For serious.
I know. That's why I've never done it. I'm too lazy and undisciplined. I have great admiration for serious writers.
You know, except for a-holes like *that* guy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What does one do to a loogie?

I write - it's part of my job - factual, articles for our magazine, etc., and I copyedit a lot of stuff. Sometimes it's really hard; sometimes I just can't write the stuff. I have all kinds of respect for the people who can write entire books. Except for those who write badly or, like *that* guy. For the reasons everyone else has gone through.
