We're all a little bit insane...I just happen to live with my insanity on a daily basis. It says hello everyone!

Jessica E. replied to Paul Barudin's discussion The not pretty side of trying to get published in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"I don't pretend to be an expert either in publishing of the lack thereof, nor in constant rejection. But that's only because I'm too scared, and possibly too young to try.
The main point I would like to get across is…"
Jackson Ossea replied to Paul Barudin's discussion The not pretty side of trying to get published in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"I've been writing for about four years now. My stories have been rejected repeatedly. I certainly understand the frustration of not getting published, and knowing that someone who did hasn't been working on the craft for nearly as long. I…"
Amy H. replied to Paul Barudin's discussion The not pretty side of trying to get published in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"... lets examine this "victory" you envy.
First, as you say, she did this in poetry. Poetry is less populated of a field right now, and there are a lot of people trying to bolster it with competitions and the such... short stories?…"

The not pretty side of trying to get published
I understand that not everyone gets published, or that if they do, it doesn't come right away. This isn't that kind of a post.------------You know what's worse than not getting that job you've been training half of your life; being invited by a friend who applied for the same job on a whim. Being asked to be present, while they enjoy the spoils and the riches, and the fame that come with such a hard earned position, and having to fake joy, or at the very least, surpress the urge to smack…See More

- About Me:
- I'm a student at Susquehanna University, class of 2014 majoring in Creative writing. I recently found out about John, Hank, Nerdfightaria, and pretty much everything else in early July (of 2012).
I'm pretty much a chill nerd, though I have my moments of spontaneousness, though they are somewhat infrequent.
Approach me if you want to ask me something....or you know, strike up a conversation and hey, I might do the same for you (striking up new conversations, not to get anyone confused). I actually like talking to new folks.

Violence and fantasies.
Also how the hell are you supposed to express violent emotion. Don't tell me 'Ah well you see you can't express it.' Oh no. To you sir, I say fuck that. Everyone has violent emotion, and everyone has small 'inappropriate ways' of manifesting it.
You live in the city? Don't you hate those asshole tourists who stand in your way? Don't live in the city, but drive one 2 lane roads? Ever get stuck behind some schmuck who drives 10 miles below the speed limit.
No everyone has violent…

I'm done with people...
Workshopping. Yeah it's a wonderful thing for some.
But I'm so sick and tired of coming into workshop, knowing that I am a meer student, and that my work isn't perfect...
But for god fucking sakes...I come to workshop to learn how to be a better writer. TELL ME YOUR OPINIONS! Show me where you think I faltered and where I did stronger. I don't care if all you have is the framework to a story. There is ALWAYS something to comment on, something you want fleshed…

Late Night Rumblings ep2
It's really hard to believe that something so plain as a word can change who we are. say something about where we're going, or tell us where we've been.
Hell, i've been on the receiving end of words like that. But is it so strange to ponder that syllables from the tongue and teeth can effect us like that.
I don't know. And yet we do.
Coming from a poetry slam I can honestly say, words never really lose their powers, we just grow resistent to the spell.…

Late night rumblings.
I get cold toes a lot. I mean nothing strange or different here. I'm talking about that temperature phenomena where all the cold air in a room seems to accumulate around your toes. Normally I myself combat this with thick winter socks, but when that fails I am at a lost.
I know some people drink something hot, others would build a 'nest' around themselves with thick blankets or some such...me, when I fail to warm my toes I just dive into the cold. I figure I'll just balance…
