The smug sense of self-satisfaction is palpable in your posts.
And here I thought I was being too subtle...
Don't get me wrong; I think the website is better with you on it.
Well someone has to be different. We can't all just do the usual 'indeed' or 'fuck all [sic] yall' worn out comedic bits.
I just think you're a nerd, and I am poet, which is basically a jock, so we are natural enemies.
[ Morbo hesitates to mention his past endeavors in writing poetry, prose, short stories and his half-way finished novel because that would mess with Theo's head too much ]
I'll just stick with my lyric-less bleep-bloop synthesizer music then. Jocks like music too. I have a guitar and a bass. They collect dust in my studio.
No, I will send you the clips when the microphone arrives.
So, writer guy, let me ask you a question.
Twenty years ago I was involved with a fiction writers group consisting of mostly amateur writers but with a few "pro" writers in the group to act as mentors. They had a standing offer to critique any work you provide for them. I submitted a short story for critique so I could see where I could improve in my writing.
The most senior pro writer ended up doing my critique. He offered nothing more on my writing and story other than to say I was "too writer-y". He did not respond to my further queries and none of the other "pro" writers would do a critique since he had already done one. Can you give any insight into that strange and confusing response? I left the group soon after because the group got weird and less welcoming. They disappeared entirely later that year. What happened? Hmm, I should write a short story about that bizarre time in my life...
they were probably steeling everyones ideas, that or you were a better writer than him so he had no advice to give
Can I read it?
It is hard to answer why they reacted that way without knowing what they read.
