It's a metaphor.

I'd elaborate but I don't want to ruin my own amusement.

No. I'm just confused as to how that dog physically did that.

i don't understand where you think being homeless is equivalent to living on the street? i have friends where i am couch surfing while i await my apartment to be set up. sheltered lives must be amazing lives to lead. why don't you put your books down, and turn off your internet and go live for once?

They call this mooching.

No one likes a moocher. Especially one that cries 'woe is me' every chance he gets. I was willing to not say anything, but you're just ridiculous.

Hey! Let's see if I can write a besimple-type post in less than two minutes and call it my art!

You wake up alone in a field of inhibitions. The stench of human conformity surround's you're nostrils. Without the whiskey it's all dredgery... When, you wonder to yourself, will people wake up and realize there not free? Like the static of an old stereophone, like the crackling at the end of a telephone line: that is what we are. And you, my dear, will never be like them, for you, my dear, are one of a kind. One in a million. Once in a lifetime. You feast upon there flesh like a lions. You have the power of thinking for yourself. And that is why when you awaken in a battlefield of uniformity, you will have the gun of individuality to shoot dead the elephant of mediocrity. Only you. Only us.

I did it! I BECAME YOU!

well, you got dude's grammar down. i just dont see how any writer with his salt could conscionably misuse contractions or improperly apostrophize in a written work. i mean, i understand not using it in favor of a work's integrity, being artful and all, but misusing it ?

dude,

i wont convert to slashing or shivving, i wont critique any of your work because quite simply you dont possess the skin thick enough for honest feedback. or at least, you dont currently show it. not with these outbursts; you act like an infant, brother. to write well takes dedication, time, and very thick skin. (unless of course youre phil or alex martin, in which case you can rely on something ineptly labeled as inherent brilliance [or some such shite]).

i do admire that you find a way to write every day. but i certainly dont admire your attitude on a forum full of people you dont know. you want opinions, and when we say "No, and Please stop spamming us" you get into an attack mode.

i also understand your take on an online community; but this is not a regular one. hundreds of us have met over the years. barbara and [*edit* ahem] ludwig met here and are now married. friendships and networking is what this place is all about, plus we get to keep up with current fiction and authors and readings. the workshop has many tools for writing and feedback, but elements of writing it does not suffer is laziness and the whining.

i've tried to offer my thoughts before and theyve gone unnoticed [or, rather, ignored] and so this is my last post directed toward you until you begin gravitating away from the absurd and being mad at people who do not shower you with praise.

my two cents

well, in my defense, i've never met a garrick before and i've never met a ludwig. maybe now i'll be able to keep it straight in my head. i have met a barbara or two, but never one as beautiful Wink

i wasn't aware that posting in 'my blog' spammed the 'new section.' i apologized for that and got flogged.

as for acting like an infant, I'm the only one who hasn't resorted to direct name calling or attack on character.

i'm here for the blog section and eventually the writers workshop, as for the forum and the forum people, i don't honestly care. i have enough people in RL to not have to resort to an ego pat-pat on a digital forum filled with, like you said, people I don't know [and from the attitudes i've witnessed so far, prolly never will want to]

my two cents.

Oh, please, please, please join the workshop. Please do it. Nothing would amuse me more. Please go in there with your pretentious, combative pose, and insult the writers there who put actual thought into the craft.

Please do it.
