Indeed, but the correlation of done well(digressive prose) with commercial success is, ah, weak.

--- Quote from: the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh on September 28, 2012, 12:11:06 PM ---Now there's an example of something I admire a lot without finding sympathetic. (Pretty much everyone I am close to, regardless of gender, identifies with the Anthony Michael Head character, and being the nerd who doesn't get paired up at the end is a bit of a downer.)

You don't think his being paired up at the end would smack too much of Paulo Coelho-type determinate optimism? Granted, the 80s weren't self-critical enough for this to occur to the character in-story.

I have hit the swampiest patch of swamp I have ever encountered. One thing after another this week that has pulled my brain in 600 different directions. Last week was great with full quota for writing, but this week has been one ordeal after another.
I read how some of the awe-inspiring authors craft 4k at a time and I want to butt my head against the wall as I wallow here in the Great Swamp.
And I still have not even watched Avengers! I will hold out on that until I get caught up. Hoping that treat will push me forward again. Writing here alos helps, because I can get my literary pump flowing.
Alright, enough venting. Goal today is to push to 82k on novel.

I don't honestly know. I'm not in the best of positions to assess potential sample bias in the sample of people I know well who were nerdy in high school and have positive sex lives since, what with being part of said sex lives in a probably statistically relevant fraction thereof.
Aminar:
Since discovering I type faster on my tablet(Video game thumbs versus hunt and peck typing due to bad fine motor control in most of my fingers) I've gotten SO MUCH writing done. My thumbs are slowly increasing in girth though...
