Left Untitled (to be poetic)

Hey, team.
Unsure if you knew or not, but even when you obsessively Google my name for hours on end, some shitty romance writer still comes up for the first ten pages. She's prolific, I'll give her that, but  I've written a book myself--far more grandiloquent in nature. So verbose in fact, that it has been touted as the great Chicago fire of our times--a metaphor you doubtlessly fail to grasp. That is to say, it was very well received in the more esoteric, avant-garde circles.
I selflessly concluded that in lieu of the brain crushing verisimilitude it would require for you to read and then feebly  challenge the immaculacy that is my holy litany, I would graciously and without complaint,  compile various press clippings concerning my Book, (with a capital B.) Also, that's my chest that they used for the cover art there. I further chose her title, and did my own wax job. You're welcome.

 Stunning praise for my Book. (with a capital B) by the original Erin McCarthy

  1. Hard and Fast honestly looks like a gay porn. No homo.

    And the praise for your Book is amazing! I couldn't stop laughing. Your use of ellipses amazes mine eyes.

  2. Onoz, it's good thing you said no homo or someone might mistake your observation as fully gay. So gay it would be gay! (And I mean gay in a bad way..)Yeah, that kind of gay. Not gay as the hills gay, more like gay as in-- it's stupid that you want the same rights as the non-gays, gay.

    In short, wicked gay.

    lulz, I think you're cool Orion. But you're going to need to work on asserting your hetroness in my blog comments without putting down the gays. Cuz I like gays, they are my equals.


    Maybe I should start saying no hetro.

  7. Don't worry, Harley, it isn't the first time my disembodied torso has confounded a lady. Did you check out that wax job? Damn.
