I Think I'm Being Ignored

So I post this little essay on the school discussion board. It's supposed to be a farcical little piece that I really thought was killer funny. I'm talking milk-out-the-nose, go-to-bed-and-you're-still-getting-yourself-tickled funny. It's got feces-flinging chimpanzees in it, for crying out loud! I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

Or not.

See, I know other people have probably read it because there's been some other posts on other topics. Little one-sentence completely superfluous acknowledgments. But their reaction: queue the chirping crickets. Nada. Okay, one guy posted a response, but he's the only other guy in the class. We have to stick together.

In some ways, I'd rather put myself out there, in the form of my writing, and get smacked down than be ignored. But that just seems to happen to me, for some reason. I wonder if people just aren't sure how to take me or my sense of humor (which I readily admit is fairly twisted).

Oh well, press on, I guess. I just hope I don't get ignored when my first novel comes out!
