    None of what you posted is true. As for my attitude, you were actually looking at yourself in the mirror.

    There is something in the air that says passion is in the fashion of writing.
    I say writing is my ambition and all else is function.

    manuscript learning is ongoing when learning is fun.

    To smash through everything that gets in the way of self-expression! Self-expression is everything! So smash smash smash away! Just do a Sherman's March through the literary world. That's exactly what's necessary! The literary world as we know it is a giant obstacle to self-expression.

    Unfortunately, I can't say what my ambition is as a writer because it would probably get me banned. But I tell you one thing, the literary world is way too uptight! You know what the literary world needs! And you know what as a creative writer you need to do to it!

    The same goes with the English language. The English language is nothing but a bunch of barbaric babble. There is little point in writing anything beautiful in English, because it is an ugly language. So write ugly! There's no point in obeying any grammatical rules in English in creative writing, because mutilating the English language will only improve it.

    I've missed a treat. I shall come here more often.

    It seems, Wolf, that you are saying the same thing you were saying some months ago. What comes after the smash up?

    Self expression? Is that the same as writing?
    To write is to express to others and to yourself what you could not have otherwise.
    Writing is talking outloud a language that is otherwise silent. Learning to listen to writing is another skill of its own. It grows in you the more you put thoughts into you to find out why you wrote the things you wrote in the way you wrote them.
    Writing is a language that talks to you when you are ready to listen. Persevere and you will hear it. It is another soothing lullaby sang to you by you.
