Hi!

I thought I could only clap once.

And since I write on a desktop and read/comment on my tablet — writing on my desktop I have wild fingers/digits and an arm like a hardball pitcher that’s out-of-control. Digits like the comedian Lewis Black going wild on a tablet, oh my. The point being my mouse has a mind of its own — constantly flying to the claps instead of the number of claps and hearing a long sustaining “Boo…!” and one of those NO-GO symbols and a PHRASE:

“You cannot applaud your own story.”

Wow! I mean, I didn’t know. Really.

I was doing the one clap things for stories I thought were over the top. Now you can see what one clap does — it makes a mess of things — thus the great messy purple (yeah, yeah, I know its not purple — fuchsia right? in the photo by Daniel Lincoln, above. Nice messy photo, Daniel) chalk in one clap. The purple (okay, okay fuchsia) chalk dust, whatever it is, hasn’t messed the clothes up yet, but that’s because of editing I guess. Right?

So, does it mean that one clap is “story is barely okay” or “I didn’t know I could clap more than once”? There’s no scale of claps that I know of anywhere. And of course when I was “clap ignorant” I thought that 300 people were clapping once instead it being 4 people clapping 50 times each. Math — oh know, I’m falling Mamma; into a dyslexic rumble or tumble. Fortunately it’s only in my own head. 50 is the clap limit for one person clapping. Ought-oh, my mind is going into a zen vortex.

Seriously, though, my sense is that if a person clapped 39 times instead of going all the way; is that the clicking finger that got worn out at 20 claps and collapsed with dehydration? So the hell with it. Right? Probably wrong. Disapproval with 9 claps or 39 claps that — well, that only I can see. That’s the good news.
