Case in point: a few days ago, I tried to comment, got through like two people, and immediately gave up. Problem is, by that point, the useful parts of my brain had all but shut down, and all that was the left was the part wondering about what happened to the fly that I flicked some water on a couple months ago. This (probably unhealthy) train of thought went on for an unfortunate number of minutes. I didn’t end up finding out, but I did manage to find and kill a (presumably) different, somewhat larger fly that I had found inside my room. I think I got through maybe two more people in the close to twenty minutes that followed.

Then again, the (somewhat, and very few) fun moments do still exist. The majority of the narrative stories that people had written this week were actually quite good. In particular, there were two or three that stood out from the rest, in a good way. One of them was Sam’s “A Small House in Maine.” The “story,” writing, overall feel, everything fit together quite nicely, and I liked it. There was really only one small problem that I could pick out, along with a few other small “personal preference” things (things like how the parallel structure sounds/flows, how the sentences “sentence,” etc.), things that are present in everyone’s blog post (including mine). The one legitimate problem that was present was a problem in everyone’s blog posts (again, including mine), which was proofreading. It’s not much, and doesn’t necessarily affect the overall impact of the blog post, but it does bother me. “Well, you made the same mista-“ we don’t talk about that. Spelling matters (maybe). Period placement matters (even more maybe). Other than that, it was a good blog post.
