Wicked Jealousy

Is that who it is? LMAO Good to see you friend, not sure I get this, sorry. Maybe if you explain a bit, I could just be tired... Sincerely, Mark

You've here tapped right into my experience with typing manuscript while on a visit with my Oregon sister while my long-retired father, who'd as I was growing up had always promised to write a book (probably bestseller), busied himself in and around my furious typing in unnecessarily noisy ways ... To my practiced eye (and experience of him), he suffered from an acute jealousitis. He had forever talked of writing a book while not following through with it. I wrote more than one, self-published them, made an immodest bundle over several years. (Sorry about that, Dad, Bad Thing I did.) Thanx, Chuck

You may be right, Chuck. My hobbies of painting and writing have drawn more darned criticism from members of my family. I finally told them, "they that can do, they that cannot, criticize." (this goes double for my sister-in-law.) Good poem, Richard

I really liked this one. I could hear the roars of the typewriter and the "puddling resentment" was awesome~

I have been known to do such. Linda, most of my family are very critical. *LOL* I just don't show them anymore. Rett: "Life is like a beach. Salty, gritty, somewhat fishy and at other times, downright crabby!" Rett 2008.

like the jake brake of lumber trucks hauling spruce into Seattles soft neighbourhood best left switched off can hear the typewriters banging clunking as space bars are hit with elongated thumbs the return carriage slamming and bell dinging words come out of the corner fighting or alighting like birds on the dark thin wire dotting along in slow landings one after another jealousy like a wind whipping newspaper eyes

Loved this, Richard, and I immediately thought of a person that this applies to very well! I think I usually feel awe when I see someone crank out good stuff one right after the next.... as I sit there with a dumb look on my face, and my brain feels frozen, so that I can't even type out a coherent sentence. LOL! ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "Just 'cause you have one, doesn't mean you need to be one....."

For surly if I had one I could write as good as she jealousy I dont know if I have yet come across it here or there or if I just don't pay it no mind nice write the best way to win your race is not to compete in any others? Donnie/Sinbad
