Re: how are you, f!s?

I feel empty and as if my brain had been replaced with jello.

I'm also resentful of the people at my writer's workshop. They tore my story to shreds, but not because it was badly written (they actually agreed the prose was beautiful and all), but because... they didn't understood the words and themes I used ("Bastet", "semiotic", visualization/meditation as part of a ritual, the idea of an imagined world feeling "more real" than the real world). I was told I wrote "like that guy, Eco, who dumps so much info on you it's a damn hassle, you have to google what he said to get it" and I was "............ but Eco is an amazing writer, how is that something bad O_O" and they were like "well, it is a bad thing, you have to write things that are easier for us to understand".

Fuckers, it's not my fault your education is so damn lacking you don't even know who Bastet is (and I even explicit in the text that she's an egyptian Cat goddess, in case you didn't know, and you still don't get it?). I'm here to write fiction, not to spoon-feed it to you. Argh.

I've been ruminating this since it happened at midday and I'm still not over it. I feel so "bleh".
