Fabulously written? Please. The writing was sophomoric and cluttered with pretentious metaphors and turns of phrase. The fledgling writer's first attempt at self-aggrandization.

- hansef 17y agoAgree. I was willing to roll with it through the couple of introductory paragraphs, thinking this was just how the writer chose to set the stage for their piece. However I abandoned reading half-way through after realizing that every sentence in the article was going to be a throbbing, oozing purple jumble. Metaphor should be the spice of writing, not the base, otherwise it loses all power and simply becomes cloying.
- indiejade 17y agoHey, there's nothing wrong with writers who have a bit of personality. But you're probably correct (I did not, however, deserve that downmod) that it's even possible to write badly about an interesting topic.
