I refuse to be cowed by my robot masters of the future and the message they have chosen to bestow on me. While it wouldn’t be difficult to make a case for my huuuuuuuuge loserdom, I really like my life. I like its oddness, and all the green nature-y stuff in it. I like that I get enough time to let my mind wander to wherever it feels like going. And that the people I know make me laugh a lot and seem to like me. And today, I have given the book I’ve just written to a friend to read. Of course, when he reads it I’ll find out it’s not finished at all and I have a shit-load of work to do again, but for now, I can revel in the delusion of believing it’s great. So on the other hand, maybe that’s the point, I’m a huge loser, but it makes me happy, so that IS my style 🙂
Note to self: I think we all function by keeping ourselves somewhat deluded, delusion is essential for survival, nothing wrong with it all. However, other people don’t think this and won’t react well if I tell them they’re deluded. As I discovered a few weeks ago at a party. Don’t do that again, me.

Losers live longer. Great people suffer. Money goes, along with health. Losers struggle with life and live happy cause they have nothing to…well, lose. I think you’re the smart one. Have a good weekend.

Thank you 🙂 I suspect you may not be a hapless loser like me, so if you’re success, congratulations! You made it! But if you’re bumbling along in the gutter, I raise my whisky glass to you, my friend. We have our own versions of brilliance, untouched by cliche. Have a fabulous weekend too!

I always felt bad when someone critiqued my work because they found a lot of things wrong. I fixed those things and gave the manuscript to someone else and went through the whole process again.

Yeah, it’s a bugger. It’s the best way to make your writing better though. And (I think/hope) after a while you start to see the problems that others point out so you can fix them before you show anyone.

Hah! Nothing is so great that it can’t be made better. Doesn’t stop it being great though.

I seem to gravitate to so-called losers precisely because they are a hell of a lot more interesting than so-called winners. I secretly think losers are the winners when it comes to creating a fulfilling life for themselves. So there! I was wondering if you were beavering away on another book – future edits be dammed, it’s a time to celebrate the first finishing line. Well done to you!

Thank you! I’m not fast, so I’ve been working on it for a while now. I agree with you about losers, I don’t think I know any people who’d think of themselves as winners at the moment. Ones I’ve known in the past tend to be exhausting.
