By "this," do you mean the choice of pseudonym "Wolf DeVoon," and the amateurish taste in cliched stock imagery? If so, yeah, that's a big part of it.

"poems of impenetrable obscurity" synonyms: incomprehensibility, impenetrability, unintelligibility, opacity a thing that is unclear or difficult to understand. plural noun: obscurities "the obscurities in his poems and plays" synonyms: enigma, puzzle, mystery, ambiguity "there may be obscurities but no answerless riddles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Everything costs something. (Not cribbed.) If you have a problem that can be solved by writing a check, you don't have a problem. (Cribbed.) I have a problem. It's open to some vitiation only, over time, but it's a slow downhill trip. It came out of nowhere six weeks ago. It's called Multiple Sclerosis. I'm trolling for additional vitiation I've not been able to adduce on my own. --Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf DeVoon Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 I was going to ignore it, but I decided to say something instead. I was talented 30 years ago. Past tense. Ever since then, it's been downhill, not a single new idea. Good joke on Google, proclaiming that I'm a novelist. Hahahaha. All I did was take a bunch of words and mash 'em up at random, paid people to plant phony reviews. I'm not actually poor. I have a swell chalet in Bern, vacation in San Tropez. Or I never left the Rust Belt, don't know anything about Hollywood or New York or Europe or Australia or carrying a gun or what O.G.A. means. See how simple that was? Didn't even ask for a pork chop in return. Guess what's trending on YouTube today? -- a black guy named Drake, another black guy named Kevin Hart doing something with an NBA All Star event, a three-minute video on how paintballs are made, and a Disney teaser for Incredibles 2, a cartoon. My fake novels sell no books. Capiche? No threat to anybody anywhere. Another couple years I'll have a stroke and that'll be the end of it, disappear without anyone bothering to notice that I left a stolen footprint in the sand.

Jonathan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Pouting? Oh, you poor darling! From your recent blog entry: "I have decided to cease promoting my books." Good first step! Abandoning the con man tactics is a great idea. The next step is to stop pouting, and to learn that there are methods to promotion other than being a dishonest piece of shit con man. Learn that it's not the idea of promotion itself that has failed, but your morally deformed notion of it. Looking down your nose at others' achievements, which are significantly greater than yours, isn't going to sell your work or make it better. At least those you complain about are genuine in their efforts. They haven't invented an amateur-trash con man pen name and persona. Incredibles 2 is not a "cartoon." I'd think that a "filmmaker" would know the difference. No one's "sneering" at your work, Alan. What's being sneered at is the stank of everything outside of your work -- your con man attitude. Why not try honesty? Loose the crutches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yeah, wow, not following along, huh? Jesus. Short memories? Incapable of grasping the simplest context? Heh.
