Oh ho ho ho starting off with an oxymoron in my thread title right there!
And an eloquent expression of english terminology within this meandering sentence of no imperative nature.
But i digress
...
To cut to the chase i have lost some passion for composing my EE2 MW. Well the drafts at this stage.
The thing is (as some people here may know .. i'd told a couple about my topic) my short story is based a lot on what i see around me. Gender stereotypes, double standards in relationships, generalisations in contemporary feminism and the like. Think John Stuart Mill or Virginia Woolf minus the 'all men are rapists' theory
Now earlier this year i well got rejected BAHAHAHAHA .. she wasn't really worth my time come to think of it *shrugs* .. and this really inspired me to write. Particularly when it came to my personal ideological views on the masculine response to feminism (in relationships, marriage, general social banter) as my story is a postmodern comment on this 'paradigm'.
But its been a while since then and being content with my love life (or lack of it) i don't really feel the passion to write about say 'x' nice guy meets 'y' feminist girl; what will happen next? Anyone who might have done a similar story (i know a lot of people namely girls are into that whole feminism slant) offer inspirational tips?
Cya cool cats!
edit: my story is not whatever i may have insinuated, emo in nature or a petrarchan wannabe rip-off. neither is it some whiny guy bitching ironically about the excesses of feminism. it is a post-modern appropriation of Romeo and Juliet into contemporary Sydney which advocates the coming together of the binary oppositions (that is male and female)
and my bumping post got deleted hmm so .. sorry mods if that wasn't allowed. oh is it just me or does it feel like a totalitarian rule here?
j/k
