With apologies to Taco

I'm stealing his COTD format. This is a snippet of conversation from Coyote trying to convince me to submit a story to some writers workshop, of which I was predictably evasive about agreeing to.

Fett: I have to go do some work, you have 15-20 minutes to convince me A) that I should submit something and B) that I should write something new for it.

Aaaaaaaand go

CoyoteExile: What's to convince? A workshop that is directed at the weirder end of the spectrum, unlike the others. With a roster of instructors that makes me want to camp outside the hotel even when they turn me down. I've talked to a few people that have gotten in and they rave about it like a life changing event

CoyoteExile: Even not getting in is a plus in that it motivates you to not only write but to write to impress

CoyoteExile: The guy that runs the thing and runs Borderlands Press besides has told me before that plugging away is critical. People will eventually remember your name from multiple submittals and start giving you more of their time, even if they say no

CoyoteExile: Plus, I'll tell Blue if you don't

Fett: the last one is probably the most critical point

CoyoteExile: Yep

Just cause it needs to be said

Fuck Valentines Day. And all you people that have managed to find your special someone? You can get fucked too. I hope you die in the proverbial fire. That's right, you heard me. In the finest southern tradition I give you a "fuck all yall".

I am more bitter than man.

*wimper*

GOD I'M SO FUCKING OLD
