[Writingworkshop] so guys, i got this thing i really need some feedback on......

[Daniel Peters]

the funny part for me is that I saw a History of violence and.....i think it
fucking blew.  Bad.  It could be the lead, or it could also be that it
struck me as horribly cliched and unoriginal.  I love that you reacted to
this piece this way man, I look up to you alot as a writer and my first
reaction to this piece was in some sense similar, he sounds like such a self
satisfied douchebag.  Sold me on the "please don't waste my fucking time"
bit though.
