Chiromancy

[Ganman]

I've abandoned this piece to concentrate on basics. Only so much you can polish a turd!

Never, never talk about your work that way. There's no shame in letting something sit awhile. But this is not a turd. It's an idea that I think could use a little more development, but it's not a turd.

I'm sorry about the harsh criticism about the thesaurus, by the way. I wasn't meaning to imply that you used a thesaurus, just that you use many thesaurus words. I was looking at your poem from a commercial perspective because that's what I've been taught to do. I wasn't intending to speak for your intentions, to tell you you should be focusing on commercializing it... just that if you wanted to make it more accessible, there were more accessible words you could use.

Please don't be discouraged though. I'm sorry if my criticism was a little harsh.
