~Viva-Hate

I've been on the receiving end of a TON of hate notes and comments recently. Perhaps you've seen a few on my profile's comments?

This leaves me with one thing to ponder - What the Hell is wrong with people around here and when did the world become full of such massive pussies?

Seeing as I'm not writing much these days I've decided to critique work that shows up on the main page. Apparently SOME people don't take criticism well. Too fucking bad. I find it hard to swallow the fact that some people submit "poems" in short hand and IM-speak...and even worse, spelling and grammar mistakes galore.

If you're going to write, write properly. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. If you can't spell, pay attention in school next time. If you aren't in school, use spellcheck. If you are too stupid to use spellcheck, then you probably shouldn't be allowed internet access in the first place. How hard is it really? Not hard at all...yet SOME fools take umbrage.

The comment option was not made for users to only say "nice things" to one another. It is made for critiquing. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Deal with it. Not everyone is going to like you and not everyone is going to praise your work. If you don't want negative comments, disable the comments option...otherwise, shut the fuck up and take it like a man.

bleh.

Don't bother to fucking favorite something if you're just going to turn around and remove it...asshole.

It is coming up on a month now without a new submission...and for some reason I just don't seem to care. (The fact none of you care either further fuels my indifference)

I haven't even attempted to write anything in over a month, really, because the last thing I did submit was not "brand new"...I really don't know if you can call the lack of will to try to write "writers block".

It seems the one time I wasn't intending on retiring is the one time I actually did.

It's hard for me to admit when I've been beaten. I'm not a gracious loser. I'm a sore and sour loser...and what kills me is that I'm entering a contest I KNOW I can't win.

I'm entering an art contest on DA and I KNOW I can't beat one person's piece. I've seen their piece already and I know it's better than anything I'm capable of doing. So why am I entering the contest? To win prizes...second place gets prizes as well...

But if I really had a choice I'd rather not get any prizes and come in first.

*sigh*


Speaking of FAILURE... (no one has written a thing this week)

If you are a writer who is looking for a challenge I urge you to join my new writing club "Written-From-Memory" [link]

Our goal is to write one long poem which is made up of many little interlinking poems submitted by various artists...
