Cut!

So I finally heard the results of that writing contest, and they're good! Not for me necessarily, but for a couple of other writers who are honestly quite lousy, the results were favourable! Seriously, I really don't mind losing except when it's to something that is clearly inferior! Of the top five finalists in my heat, I only read two, but both of them were horrible. The first used as its main comedic character George Bush, whose only dialogue seemed to be taken from his many ignorant quotes! How uncreative do you have to be to use an established character? The whole point of the contest was to be creative, and that most certainly is not! The other piece was choppy and felt more like a play about some guy's wet dream than any kind of story. Needless to say, which doesn't explain why I've gone to such lengths to say it, I'm quite disappointed.

Oh well, at least I've got my health. Oh, right, about that...
