I'll admit: at times I go off the deep end, if only for literary flourish. But I hope those moments are at least entertaining, if not thoughtful (though my aim potentially f(l)ailed in that regard).
Thanks! That was one of my favorites to write too. As you probably gathered if you got that far -- and I'm happy to hear that you did! -- I have a predilection for hyperbole.
I came off as harsh, it was entertaining. But after five or so paragraphs of the introduction I was thinking "Ok, I am thoroughly entertained! But maybe there isn't enough content buried in the entertainment?"
Don't get me wrong, I love being entertained. But it's a delicate balancing act and, I guess, the balance is different for every reader and even for the same reader on different occasions :)
