Modern literary genuises of our time, harken!

[MLE]

Meatman: just make sure people know that you don't think you're a budding shakespeare, and that you just write because you enjoy what you write, and you won't sound like the artificer.

what made you sound just like the artificer, was the "advertising" comment. it sounds like you think you can make a living as it is with your writing, but i hate to break it to you: your writing is not of publishing caliber. you probably have friends who enjoy reading it, and that's who you should write for.
