Vox Hunt: This Sets Me Apart...even from the other weirdos
Show us what sets you apart from the next person.
I think we already covered this in yesterday's post, which illustrates the problem of writers, especially writers who've been through an MFA program. We can't shake the urge to critique creative work, even the pranks of teenagers in Target. It's not enough for us to catch them out, we want to help them understand why their story arc is weak and their characterization wrong. We want to talk about their failure to suspend our disbelief. No matter how wrong it is, we want to help them improve. It's in our nature. I've just carried that urge to its illogical conclusion.
In fact, I think I'll take today off. I don't think I can top yesterday's post. Yet.

I'm still glad that you messed with those teenage geeks, though. You called them Dip and Shit, but I pictured them as Beavis and Butthead.

I say you eat cookies, crisps and cheese dip, and watch The Closer on dvd or on demand or however you can get it. Nothing like a dose of Miss Brenda Lee Johnson to set the world to rights.
"Thank you, so VERY much" = your arse had better do it and with a smile. : )
