This shit has gotten ridiculous. I am sure it has been broken down many, many times. Nevertheless, toys take an ear to shit the older cats got to say:
1.) If you are the only cat in town who writes, consider the following options:
A). Move
B ). Quit Graff, seriously. Either that or don't tell everyone on here that your the only writer in your town.
2.) If you are holding down toy status, own it. Everyone here has been at that point in their life and for most of us the internet WAS NOT the place where we learned how to write. So if some of these older cats pass you a bit of wisdom that was learned in the streets -- which probably included a chin check or two -- listen the fuck up. You should feel privileged to learn your skills via sites like this, because shit was not always that way.
In the event that you remain dedicated, good for you. It's pretty shitty. You stare at the mirrors in public bathrooms, trying to make sense of all the shitty scribes in the mirrors, only to feel a sense of relief when someone comes off clean. You notice things no one else does, like the streak tag on the bottom of that parking meter.
In short, prepare yourself, because once you decide you are all in, there is no out. Been in the game for a long time, and I am no one famous -- wife, job, three kids -- but I still gets my ups. Just not as much as I did.
But the itch never goes away.
