Literary News and Reviews by a Latent English Scholar
Look at this! 10 days ‘til Christmas and the bloody thing still doesn’t have a head! How can I be expected to blog when Mr. Snowman is without head?
Now, if someone had told me when I had the first kid that there were two more plotting conception up there, I definitely wouldn’t have spent three months hand-crafting him the sequined SantaKitty stocking of doom, because what I’ve done now is damned myself. If I don’t craft the other two rascals stockings of equal magnificence there will be ill feelings all around and they will probably start plotting against me and I don’t need the hassle.
What I do need is a little old lady who enjoys this shiz to come and hang out in my basement and get this done. If you have one to spare, please send her along post haste and if she could bring me some New York Seltzer while she’s at it, fantastic. I just can’t stop thinking about the stuff!
Thicker Skin, where are you?
I don’t take criticism well. At all. Now that I am really focusing on the freelance stuff, I am submitting to tonnes of publications and finding my work scrutinized by various editors from various backgrounds. Leo that I am, I bask in the accolades and spit venom at those who dare question me. I know that if I’m going to put myself out there, I have to learn suck it up, but some days sucking it up, well, sucks.
On the other hand, what if everyone just started sucking it up? Really just sucking the crap out of it. Everyone could say whatever they wanted all the time with no repercussions. Think how much more entertaining life could be.
As an aside, freedom of speech is a real thing. Threatening violence against women is frowned upon. Look into it.
