There is an attempt at a certain style, that being one of....thoughts, exemplified by the .....hence, the name of the blog. If it is indeed the author's intent to portray her essay as thoughts, then the liberal over-use of (poorly placed) commas is unnecessary. I think this author definitely has potential.— June 26, 2010 1:26 p.m.

Rambofish!! I love it!! I just watched a few minutes of First Blood the other day - You drew first blood!!! I have been guilty of schlock and preciousness and self-centered writing many times, and sometimes when I go back and read some of my older essays I cringe. It takes time and effort to write something worth reading and I'm not sure if Lifetime Television for Women is a style that serious writers enjoy. I mean, even Harlequin introduced a little raunch into their genre with their steamier line. Sepia-toned brushstrokes are dishonest. Not everything is precious. Grit, honesty, personal experience. These are the things that bring a story to life. I could be wrong. I've been known to be wrong.— June 26, 2010 12:29 p.m.

I'll give you $20.00, nan!! Meet me in the parking lot at midnight. Don't forget your Wonder Woman leotard and bullet-deflecting bracelets! You'll know me by my Isis outfit..... Yeah, these broads can be real killers. I've had two friends like this. One was actually my maid of honor. She tried to high-jack my wedding reception by bringing my bridal party to her and her boyfriend's room during the reception to have their own little party. They were gone for over a half hour, and when I questioned her later about what she was doing, she got super defensive and pissed at me. Now mind you, anyone who has ever been in wedding (your poor dears) knows that you have to be available for pictures and cake-cutting and toasts and all that lovely stuff. There is actually a picture of me looking for my ladies and the look on my face is priceless. I was really mad. When I asked my friends about it later, they were like "she made us go and would not take no for an answer". So, you see, here is another example of someone who has no qualms about upsetting you and making you look like the bad guy, because, according to miss bitch "what was the harm?" This is just one example of hundreds of little digs over the years that finally got me to the point where I just cut her out. Like a bad cancer.— June 26, 2010 12:13 p.m.
So Much Things to Say
Wait, you guys are getting paid?!??! Since when?— June 26, 2010 11:51 a.m.

Yes, people care. The ones that hate the slaughter of the written word. We all make mistakes, but really. Just take a couple of classes in sentence construction. You obviously want people to read your writing, so make it more readable. If you are going to be the "star" of your blogs, try humanizing yourself rather than trying to come across as so "precious". The depth you are aiming for is coming across as schlock. Example: "I believe it is something she, Paris, will have to carry with her, for a lifetime, till she meets his smile once more." I think I can honestly say that no one with better things to do really wants to continue to fuel the Michael Jackson saga. So, to answer your question with regard to your blog subject, no.— June 26, 2010 8:57 a.m.
Where to take out-of-town visitors in San Diego

Good god, thought-filled! I wanted to be one of those that welcomed a well-written prose person to the blogs. But, much as I try, your writing sucks. STOP BEING SO HAPLESS!! As much as you think you are pretty and that is what is going to give you the 500 you are going for, don't write about how great you are as a wife/daughter/fan. No one cares!!!— June 25, 2010 10:21 p.m.
