One such blog-buddy only comments on my other, old blog, about once every ten posts, but then he wants me to comment on every one of his.
.
He wants the standard "Yes, man!" compliments, but when you criticize his style or grammar, he gets all bent! What drives me nuts is his use of sentence fragments. Phrases without a noun and verb, objects without an action. Also he refuses to use proper writing grammar with dialog, never using paragraph breaking or quotations so you can understand what's going on in the fiction he produces. Here instead of hear, there instead of they're, bear instead of bare, and he doesn't know the diff, just leaves it up to spell check.
.
He writes about angst, death, and missing past loves who don't understand over and over again in different ways, each story almost the same, in different posts. Then, he awaits compliments.
As an educated writer, I want to publicly cut his grammar and language to shreds! He'll never get an editor to accept his very bad use of written language. I want to tell him I'm tired of reading about a regretful dead man who's alone and so self-centered, he can't figure out why love left him! Yesterday he left a negative comment about another blog writer I refered to in my post, who just obtained a journalism degree mcl, insulting an excellent writer!
.
Today he did the drill again, yet he believes it is a new tale! Note, the dead guy died differently, but used the same metaphors and symbols and the same theme as most of his other stories.
I didn't have reading time this week, so as I waited to go comment on his writing, he kept leaving me comments, trying to hurry me up! Hello, it's Xmas week, I have NO TIME! I have to work- He is unemployed...I wonder why!
.
He thinks he'll make a living off of his writings. There's a long wait ahead for that one- I won't tell him directly what I think. After all, it is Christmas...
.
You all have fun while I have to work!
