Writing serious fiction is HARD.
Writing is hard. For serious. The amount of privilege that dude is snorting should be fatal.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Good god, that post uses hock as a verb twice.
Hock is a perfectly cromulent verb; it just doesn't mean what they think it means. He was hawking, not pawning something. It is eye-bleed worthy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hock is a perfectly cromulent verb;
Yeah, sorry. I was blinded by my rage.

I've pretty much stopped expecting even halfway good grammar, spelling, etc., from the internets. Except here. (hugs Buffistas to generous - and grammatical - bosom)

The word Cromulent always make me think of Conan. I need to look it up so I know what it really means.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know. That's why I've never done it. I'm too lazy and undisciplined. I have great admiration for serious writers.
You know, except for a-holes like *that* guy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I write - it's part of my job - factual, articles for our magazine, etc., and I copyedit a lot of stuff. Sometimes it's really hard; sometimes I just can't write the stuff. I have all kinds of respect for the people who can write entire books. Except for those who write badly or, like *that* guy. For the reasons everyone else has gone through.
