I often find myself scouring various categories under the jobs section of that mystical website, the writing/editing section especially. If you know me, which if you're reading this, you most likely do, you know that I didn't go to school for writing, I don't have a degree in English and/or writing, and my punctuation and grammar skills are a little rusty. I do, however, string words together pretty well. And really, after thinking about it longer than I probably should have had to, I realized that I pretty much am a writer, and will be writing as my primary source of income in the future.
But anyway, so there I was, looking through job postings and I came across this little jewel:
Fiction Frictionalist
The spinning haloes vibrating around Bensons cranium were far short of the after shock contained in a small capsule in his assailants grubby little hands. "Get up and fight now big guy." His pending executioner spat. "I said get up and fight tough guy-don't tell me your miracle ear aint working today.!" Again the little man with the big knife yelled at a soon to be corpse. And any passerby would observe Benson J Austin had over one hundred surgically precise cuts over his entire body.
If your curious about that capsule... or this style is of your caliber. Life is a contact sport-hit me in the paint. If not I'll get to my next call 612 990 5711
Also Flash Fic
"If your curious about that capsule..."
Oh, I'm definitely curious. And a little nauseated.
First of all, is it so hard? Really?
Your = You own or possess something. Example: Your presence makes me ill.
You're = You + are. Example: You're going to make me sick. (You are going to make me sick.)
You're well on your way to appearing much smarter than you appeared to be before.
Just so you know, I'm not going to go all 'Editor Jenna' on you in regards to the rest of this post. But the you're-your thing just really gets to me...And the complete lack of apostrophes...And commas.
What is that post even about? I mean, I realize this is probably a snippet from a story or book or something, but what is the job? What does the dude need- besides a really patient editor?
And what the hell is a Flash Fic? And what the hell does "fiction frictionalist" mean? Am I just really missing something?
...I may have a sick interest in contacting this dude just to see what it's all about. I just have so many questions!
I won't though...
...I don't think.

OK. I'm done now. I think I've picked on him enough.
And now for a video of a live Go-Go's performance!
Have a lovely Sunday!
