Okay thanks
11th March 2009So I wrote this thing over here at this new place which is something very like what I never do and I am ashamed and I want you to know about it because of that whole disorder we talked about.
I would love it if you, in a wholly caring way, went there and stomped the argument full of holes and then laughed maniacally and maybe slapped it in the face medium hard and called it daddy’s little whore for a bit.

I’ve got sore hands.
(Sadly it’s only because of a debauched night of literary slapping too, but hey, the good intention was there.)
(P.S. Literary slapping is not a euphemism. Though it could be.)

i enjoyed your take on it, and xtx and i had this discussion yesterday about writing and judging writing, it started off as a misunderstanding but we got on the same page soon, if i can use a writing pun

I like “This suits me, this can fuck off.”

Otto and AUW: Thank you for the masturbatory fodder. I can feel myself becoming more literary with every thought of soreness and slapping and sore slapping.
Thom: You don’t want to mess with Xtx, she’s all logical and stuff.
Jack: Funny, I now think ‘suits’ was the wrong word. It was more like ‘this advances my thinking or helps me in some way’ but well, fuck it.

i disagree with the article.
there are two types of ‘writers’:
the ones writing for ego
and
the ones writing to quiet the bullshit in their head
sometimes a writer is both

Jereme I wish you’d have told me that before I wrote the damn thing. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.

you didn’t ask.
and to be honest i probably wouldn’t have responded.
i’m a dick.

I’m going to put myself out there and very possibly upset you, but I want you to know that i think you do yourself a huge disservice by being self-loathing, self-depreciating etc. Your a good writer. And one of the things that attracted to me to your site was your confidence, boldness and style. I love the “if I wasn’t quietly self-destructing through abuse of hallucinogens and bad relationships, I wrote.” But the “I am ashamed” stuff is so not necessary. You’ve got a great style. Period. Embrace it, girl.

Sweetest thing to say ever, Tracy. :) I’m afraid asking me to not be self-loathing is like asking a polar bear to not be cute and murderous or something.
