cornerofmadnessWaiting on a meeting but too icky weak sort of sick but not really so i'm not actually working...
instead I'm groaning. If no punctuation is good enough for James Joyce and no description good enough for Hemmingway why must I use either? Am I not god enough for you to divine from my talking heads exactly where my story is set? Why should I describe it to you? Punctuation,bah, surely you know where the commas go, put them in mentally as you read.
Sigh. yes this means I'm staring at a pile of edits i must make to transform the rough draft into something that won't make you all retch.
Curious side note. My Fullmetal Alchemist stories totally club my Buffy stories in sheer amounts of hits. I mean totally decimates Buffy. Thousands upon thousdands of hits. On the other hand, my Buffy readers actually comment where the FMA ones rarely ever do. Hmmm a mystery.
