Perturbed

How shameful!
That's four, bleedin' days!

I don't know what to say. I'm caught up with thoughts about good vs. bad writing. If I hear another craptastic crapper say punctuation is just the natural pauses in a paper, I'm gonna go ape-shit crazy on their aorta with an accordion!

Forgive me. Something came over me.

What I meant to say was, if I hear another egregious essayist insist that grammar is just the ganache on a person's "poetic-license"-poisoned piece of writing, I'm gonna go medieval on their miserable meninges!

Sigh.

Busy? That's one thing. Devoting your energy to other crafts? Admirable. Ignorant of the rules? There's an easy solution.

But I am wonking tired of hearing would-be writers claim any number of made-up reasons that excuse lazy writing.

You don't have the energy to improve your writing? I can't blame you. You have too many other responsibilities that demand your time? My heart goes with you.

But don't try to fabricate some reason that poor writing is good just because you're too proud to be self-critical.

Am I the best writer? Goodness, no! But I bloody strive to improve.

Writing isn't your thing? That's just fine; we all have differing skills. But, for the love of readers and writers everywhere, stop parading poor writing as good writing and glutting up the literary world with twice-diluted drivel.

Oi.

I'm going to calm myself down with some Tyr.
