She who writes upon these walls,
Shall roll her shit in little balls;
And he who reads these lines of wit,
Shall eat those little balls of shit.

@OP
I enjoyed your earlier stuff about the panty inspector being loose in my sector, and the grout puns you wrote between the tiles were always entertaining. Your new stuff hasn't been as inspired. It lacks context and cohesive plot arcs for your characters. I don't even get a chance to figure out who Julian is or why it matters before you move on to several lines about how you banged a bitch on this very spot. I understand that you have to grow as an artist and really develop your own voice and place within the medium. I respect that. Sometimes though it feels like you are moving backward and sacrificing an entertaining narrative structure for lowbrow humor that gains attention by pushing boundaries.

I understand that successful story twists often subvert the intention of narrative structure to construct a conclusion at once unexpected and pleasing by showing that social expectations and mores are merely constructs that can violated without violating the underlying principle. Indeed, the juxtaposition of the sacred and the profane being treated as sacrosanct at the outset only to have the their roles confused and reversed to some end later on provides the basis for many a popular joke or humorous story. Some would claim that poignant humor calling into question the assumptions of everyday life is the purest form of social commentary. But I worry that writing 'fucketty fuck fuck' and 'fuck hos fuck hos its pimpin I will go' isn't really achieving the kind of potential that your previous work made it seem like you are capable of creating.

That being said, I still anticipate enjoying your future work during my bathroom breaks. These are difficult times in which to find your voice as an artist. I wish you luck on your journey and look forward to seeing you develop your craft no matter which direction you decide to take it.
