“Thousands stand and chant. Around them in the world, people ride escalators going up and sneak secret glances at the faces coming down. People dangle teabags over hot water in white cups. Cars run silently on the autobahns, streaks of painted light. People sit at desks and stare at office walls. They smell their shirts and drop them in the hamper. People bind themselves into numbered seats and fly across time zones and high cirrus and deep night, knowing there is something they've forgotten to do.” -Don Delillo

What I Hate In Writing: This time, I'll give you an example. This month, a drooling idjit who sits behind me in English Literature was trying to write a novel cleverly, again. He was reading a Stephen King novel alongside, and copying down ideas for his plot. I read the thing and it was awful. Typo-tastic and extremely trite, redundant. Poor boy. I'll give you the breath of life... Smut fanfic.

OTHER ASSORTED FAGGOTRY

My Blog:

AIM: FoxenChann (Tell me where you're from, of course. You better have a good reason to yank my virtual chain, as I don't have much patience who for the lot that likes to drivel at others over the Interwebs. It's called meeting up with friends IRL.)

E-Mail: porcelainepoque@ (Again, tell me where you're from. I'll accept critique, or suggestions for new stories here.)

Castle: We could always make it strip poker.
Kate: Sorry, but I prefer mystery to horror.

Castle: (to Kate about marriage) You'd be good at it. You're both controlling and disapproving. You should really try it.
