++++ATBG/Segment 7 - The Procrastination\++++

[satanic goatslayer]

There once lived a man named Machine. One would think that the name would indicate a sort of hard-working, get the job done sort of personality, but not this particular Machine. This Machine started to write a novel, but cut short after 5 or so pages. All the townsfolk grew angry with the Machine and eventually stoned him to death.

How goes the writing?

Machine

Machine needed a thicker grade of steel! Maybe next time Machine 2 will have George's Love Robot's grade Titanum! Pathetic Humans should not be able to stone a Machine to death!

They killed the machine? That's awful!! Nasty villagers!


Yes, I have been slacking. Hardcore. I didn't think anybody had noticed. lol. Holiday... finances, job and all, been...distracted...

It was more than 5 pages... I think I was at around 3000 words... But I did get one rejection on it already... Submitted the first five segs to a fiction e-zine, but they didn't like the concept of publishing serials...

I DO need to get back on the wagon... the next segment should be a good one. How about I start again at the turn of the year? Maybe next week... Yes, I'll get back into it...

Thanks for noticing

Now, how about you? Weren't you working on something??

There is only 1 machine -- and its skin is quite able to withstand the rocks... I think the machine in SGS's story was only pretending to die... so that he could come back while the villagers were sleeping...

Let's not talk about me.

I'm just fucking with you. Whenever you get around to it. Can't rush things like that. You should burn the person who rejected it, using copies of your work as firestarter. That would teach em good.

Have a good festive season my friend. Perhaps I'll send you a severed goat's head with a wreath of aortas around it for christmas.

Blood out.

Ahh.. no biggie, rejections are just part of the game...

Actually, I do need to rush it... if I don't keep the pressure on myself, I'll never finish it!

Why not talk about you? It's my favorite way of taking the spotlight off of me...lol...

As for the wreath... I hear Spiegels is having a good sale on those... Homemade is always a nice touch though...

Thanks for bringing this up... I'll get back to work on it...

Later my friend==MACHINE
