I want to send a warm personal welcome to Jocelyn. And also a stark warning. First, what a relief it is to read mail from a newcomer who can write with lucidity, simplicity & a total absence of affectation. He (or is it she? - in these parts, Jocelyn can be either) already shows that modest regard for the conventions of writing that always identifies the true professional in the making. No slopping around in that kindergarten sand-pit of lower case letters, multiple interpretations & general chumminess that admirers of Salinger so quickly & so complacently produce for themselves. A fifteen year old adult in a community of thirty year old infants. Don't stay a moment longer though, Jocelyn. There's nothing for you here but the gooey stench of corruption. Just look over here in this corner of the dungeon at my withered bones hanging in their chains. Get out & join a group where they actually know & care something about writing. Scottie B.
