This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A secret society called "the writer's covenant"? We could be onto something here.... Let's add an overarching father figure that turns out to be the bad guy in the end and some bullshit "ancient riddles" that a 10 year old could solve and are pointless to begin with and Bada bing bada boom, we've just written the next Dan Brown novel!

Narrative conveyance. It's the movie's means of transportation.

I should really pay closer attention to auto correct.
