While I haven;t had that much free time lately I've still managed to pack my days with pages and pages of reading. I'd say a good 80-90% of my waking thoughts are turned towards literature. So, I thought it'd be interesting to bring just a few of the little, entertaining, and weird bits of writing or literature related things that I've been playing around with online.Thou caluminous rampallian flap-dragon! Thou puking guts-griping blind-worm! This is a really simple but fun page to play with. I found it completely on purpose (unlike most everything els) because I there are some situations where only the harsh and scornful words of the bard will do. I'm sure you've all been there. Its always seemed very important to me that when insulting someone to be smart about it. It isn't all that fun or impressive to just hurt someone's feelings because belittling someone else doesn't do anything to raise yourself up. Insulting a person is r... | | By: Blast Shields Down | | |

| | The Literary Slushpile Literally Beckons | | 2007-08-12 19:47:18 | | I'm clearly a proper writer now.
Having so far totted up two whole rejection letters in as many months (with another six no doubt on the way after tomorrow's trip to the post office) I am now receiving what appears to be personally targeted spam. Twice in fact.
Aside from the tiny oversight that I don't actually live in the US (though I did once enjoy a very pleasant breakfast there), my Wotalotov Detector started sounding when I looked up the sender's domain and found only a parking page. In Spanish.

Anywhere. Just a lot of very encouraging suggestions to part with $125 for their excellent service.
A quick Google revealed this from an apparently similarly minded cynic. But scroll down and you receive a post singing its praises. More c... | | By: The Boy Who Could But Didn't | | |
