It isn't just the Hive, it's the whole world. The VAST MAJORITY of people are happy to go along with the agenda, as long as the refrigerator is full and there's something on TV.

If you want to 'make it' as a writer, you either have to write for that VAST MAJORITY of people, or you have to put a lot of time into finding your audience.

I didn't read your whole fiction piece, because the editing was horrible. That might be why it was downvoted. If you had labeled it as 'poetry', people would have fewer expectations of the grammar. I was wondering if it was supposed to be a part of the story... your punctution and grammar are much better in your comments. If the 'mistakes' in your story were intentional, that didn't come across very well.

That last paragraph was constructive criticism. I don't know how upset you got before your comments at the bottom of your fiction story, but if you want a career in writing, which is essentially entertainment, you either need to make that anger a part of your 'persona', or get it in check. The people who can move your career forward, publishers and audience alike, will have little tolerance for it.

They do indeed want word salad. If you want to succeed in their world, feed it to them. If you want to succeed on YOUR terms, be prepared for a long, slow, frustrating, draining road to success. I've known very few people who found success by running against the grain, and even fewer who enjoyed it.
