It got to the point I was pretty sure my prompt was single-handedly giving Bobo writer's block
Nope. I had writer's block due to circumstances beyond my control and pretty much constant stress factors in my life that had nothing to do with anyone else here. I actually got the perfect prompt. I only wish I could have done it justice! So much didn't make it in this time. :-/
(thankfully not the case, Bobo just strives for perfect prose... and very often reaches it--go read "Water").
Haha, thank you!
The Sisyfean blog postean is donean! HERE read and experience my joy
I gots shoutout? Awwww, thanks Dammy! That was a great post!
Ahhh, what a good post, it made me feel all warm and full of fondness for Sisyphus. Now I can't wait until NEXT year!
I really liked this line in particular: Not famous well edited, thoroughly proofed stories put out in print and ebook by publishing houses in multi-million dollar deals, but raw, wriggling stories still warm from the brains of their creators.
Seconding this. My favorite sentence too. I've done 4 Sisyphuses (Sisyphi?) now, and it's the only time I don't feel completely alone as a writer, with other people who Get It because they're right there with me. I love that I can not only be myself, but also talk about my stories before they're perfect, without fear of judgement, and without having to do a long explanation of why it's imperfect.
All of you who are busy and want to take time to request stories, that's perfectly fine! There's a chance I might take longer to respond, since I'm not so active on AW during non-Sisyphus times. You can always get in touch with me via Twitter (@Bobo_the_Bard) or email me at bobtheexistentialistmongoose AT gmail DOT com.
My name is not Bob.
I have now requested ALL 51 stories! Whoo!
I probably won't be quite as fast at reading them though!
Hey, this is Sisyphus's 5th year! And what a year it has been!
