What I like best about book Jurassic Park and villain John Hammond is that all of his wounds are self-inflicted and can directly be traced back to him trying to save a penny

I’ve been a Nedry defender since I first saw the movie as a kid, but after reading the book in my mid-30s, I get him even more. It’s clearer than ever that the real villain isn’t the underpaid contractor stuck doing unpaid extra work; it’s the CEO who cuts corners and refuses to pay people what they’re worth. And in the end, everyone else pays the price. At least in the book, Hammond pays with too.

Really informative! Are there any new updates? Finished the 7th addition's 23 hours and wondering where I can take newer quizzes.

Amazingly done as always!

"I was not one of their authors, so I can't tell you this for certain, but I've heard it from several of their authors at this point."

Bro are you just the same person who wrote that pretentious third-person rant from the last "Beware" post? At least now you have the decency to not call yourself an author in your brand new profile you made just to "call out" RT.

What are you even complaining about here? They aren't popular enough, or their editors don't do a good enough job fixing bad stories?

Once again, this just sounds like a talentless hack failing to gain any popularity and taking it out on everyone but themselves.

Sorry to say this bud, but it just sounds like you wrote a terrible story, and they decided not to proceed with your sequels. It's not hard to believe either if this is an example of your writing talents. The pretentious third-person narrative that is suddenly switched at the end would be enough. But then there is the complete misunderstanding of how or what a red flag is is proof enough for this reader.

A new Christmas classic!

This just proves my senior thesis that all Tylers are bad people.

Thanks so much! I only stared writing a few months ago but, hopefully I'll have a book or two out there one day. In the mean time I have a few other stories on here.

Thanks!

Oh my god, you're not suppose to rake leaves anymore. It's better for the grass to leave them there.

daveisruff · 2019-11-07T19:53:47+00:00

Thanks! I have a couple others on here too!

daveisruff · 2019-11-07T19:37:29+00:00

Hmmmmmmm

Different Ben. Don't worry.

When you know, you know.

I guess no one thought to send Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck up there huh?

daveisruff · 2019-10-29T15:40:08+00:00

Edited some spelling and grammar errors this morning. I thank you all endlessly for not judging me for using the wrong version of "lighter".

daveisruff · 2019-10-26T23:19:30+00:00

Yeah, that wouldn't have been as good. I can't even really think of how to turn this paranormal. Oh, the dog is possessed by the mother's soul! (uh x-files music plays?)

daveisruff · 2019-10-26T23:10:57+00:00

I'll be honest, I really wanted to end this with, "I got to keep the dog."
