Before I read your entire post, you fucking cunt. I e-mailed you back in November and have yet to hear a peep from you. This is outrageous.

Meanwhile, on that little burst you wrote, it's pretty solid except for the last line. Change it to something where the deer collapses but there's no passive action of "watching" going on.

I responded in an e-mail, but I want the world to see that I'm bowing in consent to your mastery.

Your advice is spot-on. This is one of the many things that Gardner warns against doing and I completely missed it in my writing.

Do you want a cookie for your public response? I've only got toasted crackers in the cabinet.

I wish I was an undergrad. My days are so packed and frenzied. I love/hate it.

I'm also an alcoholic now, I think.

Robert. You are a writer now... I wonder who you read. I have not been reading very much "creative literature" these days. Mostly metaphysics, thinly veiled in the guise of Fiction and Autobiographies. I'm very interested in how people live and how life IS. Let me know if you have any suggested reading. Going to Borders is like going to one of those "Do-it-yourself panning for gold" scams. You know that there must be something good there, but without knowing what it is or at least where, you don't stand a chance in finding it.

Well, I wouldn't call myself a writer any more than I'd call you or anyone else a writer, but I'm taking a class, so I get to/am forced to indulge. It's rewarding so far.

As for suggested reading, I have no idea. I've begun War & Peach for my 'War & Peace' class, and so far it's great. I think you'd dig it, if you haven't already read it. Tolstoy is concerned with philosophical questions, especially as they relate to the understanding of the "historical flow" of events, but it's rather thickly veiled in the novel.

Hope you're doing well.

That's, uh, War and Peace, not War and Peach
