So, if you please, keep the sock — I’ll take the prose.

And, It had better not be about footwear.

Thus, thesundaygap will receive a sock — should she want it — and a piece of prose here — should she want.

To the rest of you, if you still want a sock, email me. I’m quite generous. If you want a piece of prose, pay me lots of money.

Yup, you should give up writing (for a while). So I can skip question 1. In the meantime, you can volunteer to help dyslexic children. You’ll see the alphabet in a different way — let’s hope it’s ‘inspired’, not ‘intimidating’.

I’ll pray. :)

Good luck.

You COULD, should you abandon what you are good at, always become a Crotchety Old Man, or perhaps a schoolmaster.

Hey! you could teach people to plumb their inner depths for demons to inspire creative endeavors and then smack them down with a healthy dose of nihilism. Or fatalism. Or any other ism, really.

Wait, not optimism. Anything else though.

I’m afraid it’s either fiddle with your own angsty bits in a way that inspires the rest of us, or condemn us all to drowning in our own failed ambitions.

An Unreliable Witness is better than nothing.

2. If you gave up writing you could become a writing tutor, teaching others how to write until the time when they realise they should give up and become writing tutors.

2. you can try to learn slovene or italian to understand my posts; if i make a competition like that you can be the winner. pretty annoying, isn’it?

There is that too.

Dammit

If you do give up writing, you could become a reader of books on tape.

This is a horrible competition.

I was thinking about it earlier. Unlike AUW. What could it mean? That sort of thing.

2. If you gave up writing, you could be a window-washer. You’d get to see lots of interesting things inside the windows and amazing things outside, and it might inspire you to go back to writing — if we’re lucky.

and don’t have an old-school abortion either.

2. If you give up writing, I think you should become a Salesman. Maybe because you show a bit of “salesman character” which naturally attract people to you eagerly want to know what you’re selling.

Please don’t give up writing. You are the definition of perseverance.

2 — I think it is obvious to us all that the only viable career choice for you besides bloody good writer is … bloody good pirate.

1. You should give up writing because when you do write you’re horribly verbose and you steal all the available phrases, which some of us other writers would like to be able to use. Furthermore, your writing saturates my brain in a way that prevents me from writing anything of any length.

2. If you choose to take my advice and give up writing, I would advise you to become an electrician. I hear they make lots of money and can set their own hours (some of them) and are trained not to electrocute themselves. You would get to wear a belt with many devices for measuring voltage and wattage and current and other electricity-related measurements. I think the devices make neat beeping noises, which should ease the withdrawal symptoms from being away from your computer. In any case, you would be allowed behind the panels that say “Danger! High Voltage.”
