Standard operating procedure

An observation. Another - related to the first. A moment to ponder and give me time to think while I write. A hyperlink. Two. A question about what it means. Is it good? or bad? Perhaps it is both.

Anecdotes to explore what this means. One of them might be quite funny. Or self-deprecating. Oh, other people have gone through this.

Emotion creeps in. Pathos. An attempt to lighten the mood with a pun. A hint of bitterness and regret. A rant that almost breaks out in flaming rage. Hulk smash! Realism drags the post back to saner waters with the rider than I wonder if I'm cut out for this. How many rejections? State how much it matters to me. Again. Verbal teeth are gritted. Fuck it, I'll do it anyway. A witty sign off.
