Okay, I'm not naming names, but those of you from the BWU probably know who I'm going to be ranting on today.  I'm REALLY angry today.  There are few people who really get my goat, but I have gotten worked up.  And once I'm worked up, I tend to be rash.  Which is why I'm posting in my blog instead of on the union forum. 

I am about to leave the Book Writer's Union.  Seriously.  Because of ONE user who happens to be an officer. 

What is a GOOD officer?  In my opinion, it is a person who has taken upon themselves to improve the union.  They make sure everyone enjoys themselves by adding to the content and conversations.  They enforce the rules to keep peace. 

What is a BAD officer? Someone who abuses their power.  Someone who makes an experience unenjoyable and drives people from a union.  Someone who acts as if they are superior to their fellow members and makes a POINT of it. 

Are there good officers at BWU?  Yes.  Yes, there are.  Is there a bad officer there?  Yes, most definitely, and that person is why I don't want to be around anymore. 

This person has repeatedly abused power by threatening other users with moderation for very tame, very friendly, posts.  This person has personally insulted me, in a thread I made for the express purpose of promoting a unoin I had come to enjoy:  He has made a point of telling everyone that HE is an officer of the union and HE is running a contest and that he "is not liable" for my thread. What the hell?  Luckily, moderators deleted his post.  But now that that one is gone, another has popped up! 

Someone reviving the idea of a writing prompt fopr a WRITING union seems like a good idea, right?  Well, for HIM, itr isn't, and he feels the need to degrade me in  front of other members of the union. 

Well, I've had it!  Depending solely on the actions of the union's leader, I will decide whether to stay or leave.  But as it stands now, if this person is not either demoted or SEVERELY reprimanded and put in his place, I will be leaving.  This isn't the only community for writers on the web!

Go to this page to see what I've written, but do it soon because I'm deleting it after one week.

I've decided to start writing again. I used to write a lot of poetry (some even got published), short stories, and even started a few novels.  But I haven't written in a while, due to major writer's block.  But I've decided that it's time for me to pick the pen back up and start writing again. 

I don't know what I'm going to write about... There's an idea for a novel I never quite got out of my head, but I'm very rusty.  I don't want to write it just to have it suck ass.  It's a really good story idea, too.  So, maybe I'll have to start out with some writing exercises to gte my head into it. 

At any rate, besides that, my life is pretty boring of late.  I hang out at the mall, at my fiance's house, at home, at my fiance's school... Never really doing anything worthwhile.  Maybe now I'll have more of a sense of purpose to my life.
