#MondayMakjang
I’m fascinated by family secrets, by what people choose to tell to others and what they choose to keep silent. But what if it’s not a secret but purely knowledge that hasn’t been shared?

That’s what happened in my family.

    Blast, my long story has an inappropriate word.

    You’re going to have to wait until I figure out which one it is

      Oh God, I bet I know which one it is. This is a problem.

    Nope – I’ve taken out that word and it’s still has an inappropriate word.

    Maybe this is the fan wall’s way of telling me that I shouldn’t share this story.

    Sorry guys, Story Time with Cloggie has been…. postponed until I figure out which word I can’t use

    Admit it – this is just performance art about secrets that aren’t shared…

      It’s because it’s hard to write a story about the second world war that’s not full of words that you shouldn’t use on internet forums

      But I like your interpretation a lot more.

        On the plus side, you did remind me that my family has some very juicy makjang of the historical kind.

        Juicy might not have been the best word choice. Oh well.

          You would have liked the story @egads. It was about what happened after my second book got published.

    *crying*

    Even though I took out all the words that I thought were problematic, it still won’t let me post my story. At this rate I’m getting so many -1 points that I’ll end up being an Errand Boy again if I’m not careful.

    Sorry guys – my story was clearly too Makjang.

    I’m not going to bother tagging people for what turned out to be an epic fail

      1. I am really happy you were finally able to post this. Following your posting-fail saga has been fun. 😀
      2. Whoa whoa whoa, that’s quite makjang. Right there.

      Whoa, your Grandfather was amazing, @cloggie! In war, people tend to shut themselves up for their own survival, or put their all into a patriotic effort – to have distributed uncensored newspapers is seriously cool!
