Yeah, that PoS decided to poke his tiny weener in my direction just a little. I hardly felt it.

He has just. His entire shtick is just so bad. Aside from being a racist. His content is... Awful. Now if he was smart he would have figured out who my mom is and blocked her because I'm still toying with the idea of fuck around and find out.

Yeah I know he's doing the open mic thing right now. I just haven't gotten to read about any of it lately. I think the last thing I read about one of the open mics he was doing was the post about the dude who just tanked horribly and he was trying to figure out a teachable moment for it while everyone else was just sitting through this agonizing piece of shit.

There was actually his post that got me thinking about writing workshops in general. Thinking about them ever since. And I still say y'all in a Pacific Northwest are spoiled but in a good way. I hope your essay went over well.

I've got to go drive and get a Red Bull or else my fiance is going to not wake up. Some of us need coffee and amphetamines. She needs Red Bull. Bless her.

This is a great post with all sorts of meaty substance for people serrious about improving their writing. Thank you for putting it all together.

Chuck is doing Slush Pile right now in Portland, Oregon (he talks about it on his substack) which is an open mic. I got the opportunity to read my essay last night. Even better I got to hear all these awesome stories. It all helps to keep the fire burning.

It unfortunate that some stupid people want to troll you on substack. lts their metaphoric funeral. Hopefully they learn their leason and stop wasting your and other people's valuable time.
