Have your ears been ringing the last couple of nights? They should be.
A few months back you had mentioned Began/started, beginning etc...as extra and many times weak words.
I realized I did that a lot "I began caressing her leg" so I made an effort to write it as
"I caressed her leg"
Last week I decided I wanted to look at some stuff I wrote a couple of years ago and edit it, tighten it up. An exercise in not just improving an existing work, but seeing how I've evolved in that time.
That's when I "started" cursing you. Goddamn did I rely on those words. So I'm getting rid of them, but every time I erase one I have to change the following words, tedious and annoying and now every time I find another "I began" I am saying "Fucking JBJ, you did this to me!"
See that's the thing with you JBJ, you post your Pavlov's dog junk to rile up the lemmings and you bait people and inflame them with your Archie Bunker persona, but in the middle of all that crap you dole out some good stuff, if people are patient enough to look for it.
Thanks Old Hoss, you've made me better.
