Foundling...how appropriate!

As we've been cleaning makeshift bookmarks out of books before we sell them on Amazon, I found the perfect definition for my writing style:

graphorrhea \,graf-a-'re-a\ noun: mental disorder marked by the writing of a long succession of meaningless words

What are the odds?

I don't know what they mean by that. Meaningless words as in gibberish words? Made-up words? Or just that when strung together, there's no meaning created? Surely if they are real words, then each considered by itself is not meaningless. Surely the effect of meaninglessness is aggregate, and contextual.

Elliott, you should call it Creepy Unfinished Novel Time - not that it is creepy! I just bet that a lot of people would be like, "ooooh...creepy! I should check that out, it's creepy."
