you write what you right what you rite



aahhh you spelt a word wrong!

Ah, Nic, the more I read about you the more I think we are kin to each other in some way.  I too have dated a person in the past who was otherwise a very nice guy but who could not spell to save his life.  I felt so shallow and superficial for not being able to overlook that one little issue, but I could not get over it no matter how hard I tried.  I would lay next to him on the nights he stayed over and I'd get that feeling in my stomach - you know, the feeling you get when you realize that whatever it is you're doing is going to fail and that you're kidding yourself by carrying on with it - and I'd about throw up because I was so pissed off and ashamed of myself for not being able to let that one little thing go.

I guess that writing for me is about the same as it is for you; it happens when it happens and I'll turn out three of four things at a time.  I just cannot write to order; I've tried and it just doesn't happen for me - which is why my submissions to the JU writers club have been nonexistent.

Write from the hip, chickie.  You do it beautifully.

I like the title very much...from the hip...

I feel similarly. I don't comment a whole helluva lot, but I read, and I care. Thanks, my friend.

I haven't written a thing, either! I keep meaning to, but then, simply, do not.

Yep, gotcha. There's one thing to be in a hurry and drop a letter occasionally, or to forget that the i's before e except after c, but when every word is wrong, it's hard to overlook. It drove me nuts, and I had to end it, when I realized I was looking down on him because it didn't matter much to him.

And the worst thing, is I recognize that in some cases, there are possible reasons for it. My own girl is now offically marked with a severe learning disability, and I'd give both arms to just have her write out a paragraph or two on her own, neverminding spelling mistakes galore.

It's a shitty way to run things, but I can't help that the innkeeper in my head is a bit of a bitch.

That is a priceless quote. I love reading you nic, no matter when or how.

brilliant.

I understand completely. I have dated a few women who couldn't spell worth a damn, didn't like to read, and had no knowledge of current affairs or geography (except how to get to the mall). It's a mis-match, plain and simple.

"They" say opposites attract but that's bullshit. People with similar interests and loves are far more likely to be a good match than a genius paired with a moron. There is a good reason why well educated people pair off with other well educated people and dropouts pair off with dropouts.

I have dated some women who were so, (how do I put this politely?), dim, that I could barely stand to make it through an evening with them. No second dates there.

There has to be more than a physical attraction and superficial likes to make for a good pairing.

But then again I live alone so best to not listen to me.

You are beautiful, Nick.

I'm a bit of both ways on this. Often times, I write, as you say, from the hip. There are also times where research and preparation is necessary. I personally like the first mode as it usually produces better material.

You are beautiful, Nick

Shovel, you are such a flatterer. But you're right too...
