HOGAN DONT FORGET KICKER FOR BIDDIES AT MUDDY

Stop Writing

Everything everyone does on here is wrong and it really pisses me off

Picture by that French guy I always use

I almost wrote a book once.

I have a vocabulary of almost 50,000 words. Insouciance. See? You’ve probably never even heard of the word. It’s very obscure.

No one dares play Boggle with me. The last person I played Boggle with was in a coma for two years before they drowned while being bathed.

Now that I’ve established beyond a reason of doubt that I’m a writing expert, I have something to tell all of you want to be writers. I pay five dollars a month for this website, and all you people do is write nonsense, gobbledygook, poppycock, and stories about butt sex. There’s nothing of value anywhere on this site besides my poetry.

Yet. Once I publish this there will be my poetry and this.

Oh! Join Medium and I make money.

You’ll also want to subscribe so you don’t miss any of my poems about my piece of shit ex. But they sound like they’re about something else because I’m really good at poetry.

What was I talking about before my poetry? Oh! Things I don’t like seeing on this site.

  1. Listicles — You’re probably wondering what a listicle is because you’re fucking stupid. It’s a list you moron. But it’s written to sound like an article. It’s for people not talented enough to write real literature like my poems. Like the one about a kitten that was really about my ex. That parasite. Stop writing those.
  2. Writing about writing — Everyone of you people thinks you’re an expert. Saying stupid stuff like publish at the best time. This isn’t Twitter. Where my ex is probably hitting on skanks. Or you say find your audience. How do you do that? They click on my story. I can’t force them to read mine.
  3. Sex — Men pretending to write as women. No decent woman would ever write all the filth that I’ve seen. Ugh. Prostitutes are never that good looking. I’ve had enough to know. It’s disgusting. Stop. Stop it. Knock it off. No. Stop.
  4. Writing about yourself — Nothing has ever happened to anyone that’s not famous no… Just don’t do it.
  5. Poetry — You people don’t do it right. Your poetry hurts my eyes.

So what should you write?

Nothing. Just read all my poems till you get the hang of it.
