This cracks me up, and I might just run with that. Cheers.

But more seriously, I take a lot of pressure setting up my narrator with this kind of over-the-top voice and then torturing him into humility. What I'm writing is kind of cyclical in that way. This is the middle section of a triptych, and this is intended to echo the way I started the first one.

I prefer to frame my pretension as ambition, personally, but I don't take it personal. They're just differently-valued synonyms of the same concept in my mind, and I take full ownership of both. I invite the (probably inevitable) reply of COPE. I'll own that too.

>it feels like you'll settle for anything at all so long as it sounds the way you think it ought to.
Again, this might sound like one of those obtuse ways in which people make excuses in that sideways kind of way, but this is fully intentional. That's part of the experiment. I don't want to give myself away too much, but this approach is one of the main foci of my approach to writing in Current Year.

I probably do need to clean up some of the punctuation though. I appreciate the input, fren.

Right wing dipshit trying to pretend right wing people aren't just failures blaming everyone different from them for losing at life. kek

I'm a failed author with an engineering edumacayshun. I bought a printing press and one of those guillotine paper cutters and put them in so I can do trade printing and, more importantly, small-scale publishing.

I'm going to start with periodicals like Science Fiction and Fantasy but I want to make it more of a mishmash. Where's a good place to hunt for talent? Pic related, it's me in another life.
