I had all these romantic notions about one-night stands. Who knew it would be so difficult to actually have one?
  • Continuing An Overwhelmingly Negative Response..

    My comment is unedited, has no shape. AND . . . I am not getting paid to write it."

    I'm a creative professional. Among these occupations, writing demands the simplest preparation and organization skill and research suggests language processing is a measure of overall intelligence. It's no longer a dating preference, but more than clean clothes, a ruler of dignity or sentience.

    I'm not a writer, being compensated isn't a motivation nor is drawing attention here, but notice anything preceding my signature suggests I graduated elementary school. I'm not alone, it is simplistic for others in the same way, who probably also share a quirk of suddenly having reached their wpm ceiling as the act of typing became familiar.

    The question arises though, if you can't structure paragraphs, have naught depth or insight outside your whim, what motivates your interest to write? Besides unjustified money and attention, in which case you've distinguished yourself in several definitive ways: sham, imitation, fake, deceitful, imposter.
