Wow!

Eight hits - when I expected/hoped for - none.
I need to get busy I guess.
First off, I've never read, nor do I intend to read any books by these poser twats, George Hill and Larry Correia, but... I offered Larry Big-Head some literary criticism (Not for him - I don't read him! The guy's a dick.) for good ole' George Hill who is laboring mightily in the vineyard. I read some pages into the Amazon.com preview and... good on ya', George. Stay in there battin'.
I'll never gainsay any of George's efforts because... hell, the guy's trying - and whoever edits his stuff hates him.
Like I said, Larry is... shit... it's on the tip of Larry's tongue... give me a second...
OH YEAH! HE'S A DICK!
Hill is a dick as well but he's got some birthdays and actual military service on Big-Boy and he's far, far less arrogant and insufferable than Larry.
But I digress; last night I offered writing advice to the (Puh-fucking-leze) NYT "kinda-like", best-selling author.
That is to say, input from someone who, back when Larry was... I don't know; pulling his pud to spreadsheets (I don't know how bean-counters think) or... whatever, was a student at one of the top journalism schools in the country.
And, at one point, I actually fancied myself a writer. Did some stories, poems; all praised to the stars by the professors in charge. But, I thought: I've spent ten+ years on my visual art and it's nowhere close to where I wanted it to be, so I let writing die on the vine.
But I'm still a major grammar cop.

Words that are not verbs:
Reference
Access
Transition
Parent
Network

I know I'll come up with more. The list will be updated - believe me.
And, just for George - God love 'ya - homophones!
Spellcheck loves you and is your friend... but, she can be a real cunt so learn your shit.

Okay, as Chekhov said: "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there."

Okay, the pistol on the wall was my reference to my Vis-art.
It's been sadly neglected since knives have grabbed me by the... I don't know what.

The capitulation of St Anthony, a triptych.
Bit 'o detail next...

One of my favorite monsters:


It's a triptych you know. Gonna make ya'all Google that.
This is what it looks like closed up.

Anyways... Zack Hill, if you ever find yourself here, I like your interest in Byzantine icons - very much.
And "outbreak" good for you for what you do but, I do have two honorable discharges and two DD214's.
My most recent service ended when you were probably in middle-school.
I can appreciate that Larry likes you 'cause you've got authentic cred - and you like Larry 'cause he's...published.
But, talk to me when you get some time.
