What are you talking about? I typed.
>Firstly, typed the computer >you want to start this new blog with a creative piece? Something to get the blog started?
>Point A: Your aim is to encourage writers to submit short stories/poems to upload onto an online blog fashioned for creative writing? typed the computer.
That is correct, I typed in.
>Point B: In order for this online blog fashioned for creative writing to commence, you need to send out a manual outlining the goals and parameters for your online blog fashioned for creative writing?
Ah…yes and no. Rather than a manual, I typed, I shall call it a manifesto. And I don’t believe I will be setting “parameters”.
The computer made a whirring sound, which did not sound healthy. Actually, it sounded like a sigh.
>Indeed. We shan’t call them ‘parameters’, but there must be some rules involved?
It made a good point.
I typed, You make a good point. Okay, no rants or diatribes.
I almost pressed ENTER….
Delete.
No, yes, you can rant, or blow your annoyed load in the blog, but turn it into a story, or give it start and an ending….?
A faint whirring, I think it was saving.
>Rant? I am not familiar with this term LOADING LOADING LOADING I compute. However, Mr Administrator Lord Sebba Of the Mac (243- #24_12), much of your saved word documents are little more than rants?
It had me there. I typed, They are not! They usually involve at least one central character loading loading loading
>I apologise for the interruption, but according to the Oxford Online English Dictionary:
INSERT A rant is a very loud, aggressve, or bombastic speech, usually long and repetitive.
>And WikiWords:
>Much of your writing incorporates many these traits.
Yes Yes thank you.
Goddamn smart arse.
I typed, Point taken. Just have an epiphany or something.
>Mr. Adminstrator Lord Sebba Of the Mac (243- #24_12), I could cite at least loading 47 examples of your saved word documents that you have called INSERT "Stories"
>They are nothing more than rants. With reference to www.comicfilmrants.com INSERT preachy, wind-bagged, slew of nonsense words, yelled out to make oneself heard, to make oneself feel important, possibly aggressive.
Fine fine FINE, and NO! Don’t delete the repeated words okay? I get it. I rant sometimes. And don’t pretend that you were dropping quotations from Oxford Online, that sounded like some randomn online dictionary or some crap.

>You will run the blog?
Yes, I shall be the admin dude. So all pieces are emailed to me, and I shall post them.
> Email: derobillard@gmail.com
Subject Matter: ???
Ah, maybe ShortWritersTallStories and then the title of their piece.
> Email: derobillard@gmail.com
Subject Matter: ShortWritersTallStoies – Name of Story
>Will you be censoring the submitted pieces?
Of course not. I think my Mac is a facist. I will have an assistant editor/Proof Reader look over it, that’s it.
>I see. Well. It sounds like you know what you want. Perhaps you should send out the correspondence now.
Should I include a warning at the end of each email, like, don’t hit REPLY ALL on the emails? Not everyone wants to read your crap (unless it’s on an awesome blog!)
>This is probably a good idea.
