Sorry I’ve been lax. But you know how I get some times. I’ve discovered that if I attempt to work full time from home then I won’t have time for serious blogging. What the hell is up with that? How am I supposed to steal moments to waste my time and money? Crapola. Maybe someone should write an article about that…hmmm.
Which brings me to my point. I have posted a “humor” article on Helium™. It’s late and my eyeballs are really drying out, so I don’t really feel like explaining exactly what it is. Except that it is my original writing and I can potentially get paid for it.
I would like for you to read my not-masterpiece and give me some feedback, if it’s not too much trouble. Miz UV has suggested that I offer up my work on other sites (pay is better, dontcha know), but I need “writing samples”. Duh. I’m trying to get myself some samples. And I would very much appreciate it if you, my dear readers, could tell me what I need to improve on. But try not to be too harsh. I seriously will cry if you break and shit. No lie.:)
I’ve changed my mind about publishing the link. If you have it in your reader that’s fine. If not and you want it then shoot me an email. I would like my good blog friends to read it and critique it for me, but I don’t want to publicize it just yet.
At any rate, I’m exhausted. It was hotter than hell outside today and I had to be in it. Yikes. That along with other boring real-life crap just makes me want to dive into a bottle of José Cuervo and pass out.

I like to spell crappola with two p’s.
eh, it’s just a habit I suppose
I’d like to read your humor article.
Where can I see it?
I have another idea: porn. Yes! They pay. Check out some of the erotica sites and see what you think. I submitted a story once and got rejected, but that doesn’t mean YOU can’t do it.
Howdy, jerrster! I stopped by your spot and you’re pretty damned funny yourself. Kind of makes me jealous.
Anyway, I was contemplating just sending out the link to those I know well, because I’m so shy and all (regarding my real self, not my JJ self). But screw it. I’m trying to make money and want to know how terrible my article is. It’s here. Now, if you read it please try to ignore the typos. It’s supposed to be “cupfuls of sugar are” and “shelter,, food and water”. I didn’t notice them even in my third reading. Oops. My bad. Also, let me know where I can improve. Or whatever. Make fun. I don’t mind. I’m all thick skinned like that. (Yeah, right…hahaha!)
At any rate I’m adding you to my link list. But I may not comment for a couple of visits. I like to get a feel for a place before I start shooting off my yapper, you know.
Thanks for stopping by!
Well, lookee there! Miz UV, you and I were commenting at the same time.:)
Porn is not my thing. I sometimes like to read the erotica, but I don’t think I could write it without it being completely cheezy. Besides, how could I send people to look at those samples? Mwahaha! “Don’t mind the “big cock dives right in the slippery cooch”….see, I can’t even write the really, really nasty words.
I’m pitiful, aren’t I? *snort*
Okay, JJ, you know I don’t bullshit and I loves ya to pieces. When I’m totally stressed and pressed for time and I can only read and comment on one blog, this is where I come. Truth.
So here’s some more truth: your article seems forced. Clearly you are a writer, no doubt about it. Typos are nothing to worry about. It’s content that matters. And when you write here and you’re not feeling self-conscious, you shine. You’ve made me laugh out loud with what you may consider throw-away lines. Your humor, when it’s organic, is top notch. But I felt like in this article you were trying too hard.
If you were just you I think it’d come easier for you.
Of course I could be smoking crack again. It happens.
I wish you all the best!
That’s why I loves you too, Schad! Tell it like it is. You’re absolutely right. I think I was trying too hard to be generic. Now, if you can just give me some examples of what you would consider to be lol funny, I would greatly appreciate it.
It’s hard, though, to write for real publication (or pretend Internet stuff that pays well…ha!) because I feel like I have to tone it down. Not to mention the constant interruptions. You can always tell when I’ve been flowing and I get interrupted. It’s like it stops short. That sucks big fat monkey balls, you know.
Back to practicing. And I do sincerely thank you for your honesty. Now I just have to figure out how I can be me and get paid for it.:)
**And NO, Miz UV, I’m not doing to porn!**
