PLUG 2: The Sequel

Yes, you're right - The Sequel was the name of this thread - the title - A Piece of Work is reserved for something else. At any rate, I'm glad that the author here brought his work to our attention. Makes things interesting, having a few pieces to discuss.

Can we have an end to wannabee's telling us all how good they are?

Mississippi : Why? Obviously, there's no point in the board getting flooded with people saying "hey, look I'm great", but I don't think that's happened so far (or will happen) - no-one just wants a slap on the back, writers I think want comments and criticism - not insults, but genuine, "this doesn't work", or "this is a bit so so, because..." type of stuff. One of the good things about ABC is that it allows you to rate people's work (though it's a shame you can only use stars, not add commnets), but I think feedback and criticism on what is on ABC is a useful and valid part of the site. The anonymity of the web - the fact that no-one here knows you etc. means you should be able to get a lot of different points of view on your writing. Of course, part of this is that people don't just get comments on their own work, but help others out too...

I was under the impression that this section of the board was for discussing ABC writing - I see nothing wrong with an author asking for input here. If the author did so in the 'general gum flap' section, well then there'd be something to beef about. I hope others are going to do this in this section - ABC Tales Discussion ... I frankly enjoy critting each others work. Yes - I will look at 'The Sequel' and hope that the author who posted this request knows how to tell the hecklers - blow it out your ear!

Well, I didn't find anything called 'The Sequel', but I did read your poem - Not Ready To Be a Dad - I thought that was a good one. I read the one about the Rock Stars - I have to be honest - I didn't like it - can't identify with it at all.

Hey Mississippi - why don't you write something really, really good and see if you can get picked for a cherry. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble When yer perfect in every way ............. :-)

Can those who haven't been picked for cherries keep their claws retracted - yer markin' up the carpets here, not speak of the green excrement you leave behind in the halls

'The Sequel' is the name of this thread - not a piece of work! LMFHO

Er... I'm not a wannabe,my old fruit. I already am what I want to be. I just thought I'd point a few folks in the direction of my writing. I didn't say anything about how "good" I am... Ye gods and small fishes,some people are touchy!

Assuming of course that they manage to 'get it up their noses' first :-) I would be more than happy to provide afore mentioned vaseline, just to enjoy the entertainment. You go with your plug love, I hope you get lots of people reading it.
