By the way, Mr. Z, I'm keeping a document going that contains the entire Editing Room story. So far, we're over 10,000 words.

Give it time. I could feed you song lyrics, if you like, as that's the majority of my latest projects. But there seems to be something counterproductive to me in posting, to a writers' forum, work that I have no intention of changing.

Do you ever do anything stupid, or illogical, or subpar? I don't expect you do, but it's worth asking.

Anyway, I'm mostly curious to learn more about your writing style. I'd like to see what you like to write about. You know, stuff like that.

My account turned four 3 hours ago. Thus, a moment of reflection: four years ago, I was... damn. I don't know whether I want to think about this after all. I was incredibly immature and unlikable. My writing was worlds away from quality or completion. My political views were biased and often unfounded. I'm just glad I didn't have to be friends or family to me during that time.

In the past four years, I had my first relationship and first breakup, thankfully in that order...

Thanks SS! The pleasure is mine. After all, without you, I was a knit-vest knight without a lady to fight for.

To whom it may concern, (hint: it may concern those friends of mine who, like myself, often add absurd posts to absurd in&outs)

I have created my own absurd in&out: "The Editing Room." I would appreciate it if you could visit said In&Out to add your absurdity to it. I know, some of you say, "why would I help Z? He's arrogant, self-centered and thinks he's a super-writer." But I've written such a brilliant intro that you have to come. So don't even think about trying not to.

Thanks,
Mr Z

Lol. I have never once thought you were arrogant. I've been angry because you said something about my writing, and it was completely accurate, but that's about it. =P
Like  •  Mar 4, 2012 at 12:00pm EST
What was it that made you angry?
Like  •  Mar 12, 2012 at 4:49pm EDT
A lot of it was because of stupid things that I knew I should have fixed, but was too lazy to until you pointed it out. I was more angry at me than at you. It's hard not to feel that way when a writer you respect corrects you on something you already knew you should fix. Bleh.

Yo! What's up? It's been a while, and I figured school would be out for most people by now, so you're more likely to be on here. Besides, you've been frequenting the I/Os a bit more.

Anyway, how are you? What have you been up to? Are/Have you written anything new recently?

Hey Z! How are you? I figured school did the same thing to you that it has done to me, which accounts for a long term disappearance from this blessed place. Just checking in.

Also, I wanted to say you don't have to keep editing the book if you don't want to.

Did anyone notice the appearance of the Writing.com "like" button? It happened sometime between today and yesterday I think because yesterday is when I didn't notice it next to people's status updates.

Steve, if you are saying (in your convoluted, Steve way) that the writing.com "like" button on status updates is superfluous, I agree with you.

Moreover, I would like to add that the like button would be of some use in I&Os, where it would provide a means of acknowledging a good post without wasting any of the arbitrary 255 characters.
Like  •  Sep 20, 2011 at 5:28pm EDT
Oh! Now I understand... you're asking whether you need to put thought in whether or not you "like" something now that the "like" button has been implanted.

Yes, Steve. I'm going to assume that you dislike everything you haven't gotten around to "liking" yet. It makes much more sense than the alternative: finding something absolutely extroadinarily good that is so amazing you have to spend 2.5 seconds to click "like" then forget all about it.
Like  •  Sep 20, 2011 at 5:34pm EDT
I agree. It would be handy in some places, unneeded in others. I'm one of those people who don't compliment other people even a fraction as much as is really socially necessary if they are going to like you. In other words, I have the loner/hermit mentality and think it's unnecessary to always be reassuring people that you like them. But I guess people who live together experience tensions and need reassurance from time to time. I like everybody, especially when they aren't too close. *Laugh*

1) It's not too terribly intimidating. You've just got lots of ribbons. Nothing to fix. You're just a good writer, I suppose.

2) I'd prefer you say it in front of my back. It's more fun that way. I appreciate your humor, indignation and honesty. Having fluffy responses doesn't make me a better writer. Aaaand, I could also give you pointers on reviewing for people who can't take the full Z-force.

Spamming is always fun! It would be interesting to toe the line between spamming and trolling.

Being opinionated is my forte. Another goal!

I have to admit, I'm terrible at intentional innuendos. I usually say something without realizing it and then someone else calls it out.

If all else fails, we could always go to Pinky & The Brain for inspiration!

Trolling? Posting to evoke emotional reactions out of people? Why would we do that? Who would want to make Steve get angry? Oh... um, forget I said that.

I don't know what "Pinky and the Brain" is, but it definitely sounds suggestive.
