Flash Fiction

Writing section SUCKS

I’ve always thought too much effort was given to shitty cryptic flowery prose dressed as poems in the writing section and now even Lawford the gentle has given in
When was a good piece of FLASH featured let alone a decent short story.
Why am i writing this?
No one will be fucked commenting except Anne who will get cross at me for being angry.
WRITING ADMINISTRATION ON RED BUBBLE SUCKS.
But only the poetry.

Danny, I posted this on Lawfords journal too, if you want a meatier read Check this out The story is in the comments and replies by Pierre and Heloise, is ongoing and is already several thousand words :-)

Matt, at first I thought “not ????!”, that writing takes pretentious to a whole new level and actualy makes me shiver in the corner crouched in the fetal position trying not to poke my eyes out with my knee caps, but, i did read on and I will say the little role playing thing is quite novel and constructive whilst being very creative,
A credit to you both, though, the original piece of writing makes me nauseous.

I’ve been asleep for a very very long time Danny. Nope, I don’t get cross any more. I don’t take it personally, I guess, because I’ve had so very little to do with it of late. I’m not even sure if I have access to it any more. I might try again soon once domestic things settle a tad. And then watch out everyone. Poetry will take a back seat for awhile. Admittedly that’s about the extent of my own writing lately. My long fiction has not had much of a guernsey sadly. Emma 2 has stalled slightly only because I haven’t had time to write down the whirls and swirls in my head, and the same pretty much goes for Sculpt, BUT I EXPECT THIS WILL CHANGE SOON and my aim is for them to be completed in 2010. As for everyone else … my apologies for being absent. I will try to get back into it like I said … soon.

Good to see some action will be taken, I believe Lawford has a point though.

I am afraid I agree completely.
You know me, don’t like to talk negatively … but that was a synthetically induced state and I am not currently that way inclined. Still, will tread carefully. Good news is that the Flash Fiction Book is a hair’s breadth away from becoming a reality. Just awaiting final touches and it will be uploaded. Yeah, I know, we keep saying that. But a slight problem in that moi did the complete layout only to find it would not work on Blurb and the whole ‘blinking’ thing had to be redone, this time by a professional!!!! So, just waiting with baited ‘hair’s breadth’. lmao. Getting a bit puffed though.
