This was the quote of the day from Jon’s Google page:

I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top. – An English Professor

Gee, and I thought my old Writing Prof in college was cruel. She was, but not in writing. Never anything I could take somewhere and prove she hated me.

For those who don’t know, I was kicked out of my college writing program by the head of the program. She told me I’d never be good enough publish. I’d never make it as a writer and that I should just give up now. She was much more complete on her listing of my shortcomings as a writer then I am being here. It was a long talk. She reduced me to tears and sent me out into the world to fail.

But her major reason for asking me to leave the writing program was that I was, "A corrupting influence on the other students."

It wasn’t the sex. I wasn’t really writing sex in college. But I was writing horror and dark fantasy, and heroic fantasy. The stories that I’d offered to get into the writing program at the college had all been horror. They accepted me, then she, the head of the program, decided she could fix me. She would show me the error of my ways and convince me to give up this evil genre writing.

When she realized not only could she not convince me to write something else, but that the other students in her upper level writing class were beginning to write genre, too, she decided I had to go.

So, she called me into her office and tried to destroy me a writer and as a person, really.

People ask, have you sent her all your books? Have you shown her that you did succeed?

That wasn’t her point. She didn’t try and destroy me as a writer because I couldn’t write, she sought to destroy me because I could. She tried to make sure I would never write again, because she feared I would go out and do exactly what I have done.

Corrupt millions.
