God Doesnt Give a Shit What I Think

[NOIRTRASH]

I read some memoirs of Ann Bannon today.

Married and a mom and twenty-two, Vin Packer (Marijane Meaker) edited Bannon's premier lesbian novel. Then Bannon took it to a publisher. The publisher called it 'bad but fixable' and sent the manuscript and writer home to try it again.

Gardening is my old fuck pastime. I do it well, prolly lots better than you can. And my garden/orchard taught me an essential lesson about life and my efforts. GOD DONT GIVE A SHIT WHAT I THINK OR HOW I FEEL. The results I get are the results I get, because of my skills and luck.

You know how pissed you'd be if anyone said your story sucks.

That's just one opinion among many. Would one person really take to heart what a single reader said about their written work? I certainly don't. Even if everyone hated what I wrote, it wouldn't detur me from a passion I love. I'm sure Mary Shelly met the same type of opposition when she wrote "Frankenstein".

And 99.99% of the LIT writers share your view, and readers go elsewhere.

The rules and shit are there. You can aim for heaven or sit in dog shit.

Shit can serve more than one purpose and not only biological ones. Using your garden allegory...

Youre free to piss on an electric fence if you want, I don't recommend it, but hooray for free will and failure.

I'd have to straddle it to do so, so thanks but no thanks.

You don't need a 12 step program to stop. Or summer school.

Wouldn't standing under a wasp's nest and poking it with a stick be a better simile?

I do it all the time. Even better is telling the truth as often as I do. Better yet is telling a kind lie to spare someone grief.

When are you folks going to learn not to feed the troll? He pokes you with a stick and you think he's serious. Read his replies, he's only interested in your reaction not your answer.

There are two kinds of trolls; the intelligent and the stupid ones and which is which is usually determined in relation to the reader. You've never done any serious troll poking have you? You should try it, it's great fun!

All the years I did psychotherapy I learned my way of influencing people, because that's what psychotherapy is....influencing and manipulating people to eat their veggies, button their overcoats, and drink plenty of water. Whats trolling to one is sober and serious business to another. Its the essence of fiction writing.

Oh, I was just following your advice: "Better yet is telling a kind lie to spare someone grief."

Better stick with TEX's wise counsel.

There's the quote of the day, right there. I'd go as far as saying it's a moral and a lesson for some folk.

I find its a common outcome for most folks. They know what to do and piss on the electric fence anyway, to do it their way. God doesn't care if you pee on the fence or drive drunk or elect Adolf Hitler. You know the rules.
