ok. I've gathered my thoughts together now and this is what I meant to say: I work at a publishing company and I proofread short stories and poems. Write now I'm working on the manuscript for a magazine that gets put out every year filled with people's writings...that are very similar to what you just wrote. What I'm saying is...that just from this LJ entry, I have noticed that you have the talent of an experienced writer, one that should have been published numerous times already. The level of your talent matches those who have been professionals. Anyway...haha. I think if you just used correct grammar...and sent this piece out that somebody out there would publish it. And that my friend...would be a prize in itself. Haha. I know I praise you too much but you are unique. Don't stop being awesome.

If you really want to get published, you should fix the grammar...and then send this piece to free contests...that you could find on the web.

wow. i always love reading things that you write, and make a point to do so. this one really seemed to touch me, though. frankly, you're really one of the only people [admittedly, i am sometimes excluded from this category of people] on this- or any other network or blogging site- that puts aside time to make sure that bigger, more... i dunno. i'm trying to grasp the right theoretical concept, but neither 'existential' nor 'metaphysical' seem to cut it...
to make sure that the bigger ideas that can be created by the mind are addressed and conciously worked through-- that seems to be adequate.
when there are so many atrocities being done, doesn't it seem to be selfish to concentrate on your own baby revelations?
selfishness definitely doesn't apply here.
i just spent the past two hours underlining meaningful passages in chuck palahniuk's most recent publication, and this made a fantastic punctuation to it.

thankyou, dearly
ive come to realize that my writings are, by nature,
a response to the massive amounts of pestilence funneled into our society
and any other pseudophilosophical crap you could fill in here to make me sound any smarter

in all seriousness (which that was, except the last sentence)
that episode had a real purpose and meaning to me
and like the guy said about killing
the purpose might not hit you all at once
but it shall come in due time

apparently, if i had better grammar,
id already be paid
whoda thunk

oh, and to be any form of punctuation (be it even a comma or elipsis [blatant sarcasm . . . in the vein of chucks]) to anything palahniuk writes is quite the comparison and personal honor

didn't really notice the grammar errors until someone pointed it out.
i usually get all over people for having bad grammar, but i think that the writing stood out more to me than the actual mechanics of it.
whoda thunk, indeed.
