Thin-skinned writers

Caught today on Malcom in the Middle - Lois is in the shower, her mother (Cloris Leachman) comes over unannounced and see's her naked: "you have your fathers tits". Lol.
 
My, my, my, are we all feeling a tad thin-in-the-skin?

I just dropped in to see what condition
this condition was in......
I'm appalled at the vitrol that's being displayed!
Appalled!

The truly sad part of this whole diatribe is that there
are some talented, intelligent folks here whose
thin skins won't let them discuss, argue or engage each other
unless they do the preemtive launch into a personal attack,
that accomplishes nothing and solves less.....

I'd change the channel but this is too rich to miss!!!
Just like the Traveling Medicine Show (aka - the Presidential campaign!) we just witnessed,
'Ya can't script this stuff, folks!'
Peace..........Lipz
 
Say I was wanting to become a better guitar player. I'm sitting there banging a bunch of noise, getting frustrated. Somebody, a virtuoso guitarist, comes along. Tells me how much my playing sucks, laughs and walks away.
Then along comes another, equally virtuostic and says, "hey if you adjusted your wrist action, sorta like so, you might find more power in those notes...." I'll be like, 'wow! thanks! Ah! You're right!" And then, I have both. My old way, and a new way.:)
In an ideal world. Ahhh.


Way, way, excellent reason for sticking around, and not taking the baloney to heart.

thanks hmmnmmm:rose::kiss:
 
This is GREAT!?!

I'm having the time of my life.....this thread validates the totality of experience, the mind-trap of duality, the cosmic furball.........
 
I would like to apologize for chasing BFW into the Author's Hangout and specifically this very useful thread.

Over in the Survivor contest thread we were getting a little upset at how rude and annoying he was.

I have a feeling that the reason he does the Survivor contest year after year is so he has an excuse not to hang out in the Author's Hangout with real authors.

As I can see from his rudeness and stupidity he hasn't changed.

We are having a betting pool to see when he makes his next idiotic post in the Survivor thread. Come join in. I'm handing out a prize :)
YOU!

You need a spanking. Come here. :cattail:
 
Good Lord. I go to work and come back to find my thread in shambles. How did McCain and Palin end up in here? Can't we all just get along? :) Anyway, I've learned my lesson. I plan to PM said author and apologize for putting them on blast in public. I did tread lightly in my critique, making sure to point out more good than bad.
I, for one, post here in efforts to hone my writing skills. I accepted what little constructive criticism I've received and haven't really gotten the "T" word on the few submissions I've uploaded. If somebody gets off to what I've written, great. But, I really want to tell a better story in the end.

Real authors? Then, why are you here, the Princess of 750-1,000 word stories with no beginning, no middle, and no ending. Your stories have no plot, no character development, and all have flat characters.

Since when have you written a real story?

I'd rather be rude and annoying than be a crazy as you obviously are. You stalk me, continually PM me, e-mail me, 1 bomb every one of my stories, and write nasty comments. What is y our problem lady.

I want nothing to do with you, yet here you are again following from thread to thread starting more shit.

Shouldn't you be writing your pretend novel, Jack.

Well baloney's not serious. It's those occasional hard salamis that come out of nowhere. Sharpened like arrowheads, you know. Of course those aren't fatal, but an able archer can certainly make you feel it. By the way your rose smells familiar. In a good way.
 
Not nearly as good as

a chocolate chip cookie, a near miss, the third eye, hot-sour soup from InSoo's bistro, pulled pork from Super-Smokers, but nearly......nearly as good.
No, not as good as dancing all night with that slender black girl, not even as good as slow dancing with her!!! I can still taste her sweat and smell her on my fingers!!!!
but pretty damned good.........
 
My, my, my, testy are we???

Your post reminds me of an experience I had in graduate school.

A guy named Robert could not pass our CLINICAL II course. After admission to the program he injured his brain in a car wreck and was concrete to the point that he couldnt recognize irony, abstract concepts, nuances of speech, etc. Everything was literal for him.

And he sued every professor who failed him, but never won any of the suits. He argued that the program should accommodate his disabilty.

He made the same argument in my class. The professor told him bluntly: If you were blind I couldnt make you see, and if you want to sue me again, go for it; but I'm not passing you just to make you feel better about yourself. You'll fail this time just like you failed all the others.

Julie...come out of the closet. You'll feel better about yourself. Stop denying your lesbian self. You'll meet another woman. Don't give up hope. There's someone for everyone, even you.
