I want to thank you--for this, for "Be Not Aggrieved", for whatever else comes from this line of thought you're on.
I am, admittedly, an "aggrieved" writer, though I've really done nothing to deserve the feeling yet. But feelings are like that; they just show up whether they've been earned or not. Sometimes you can convince them they're at the wrong party, but that doesn't always make them leave. Sometimes you have to force them out, and if you can't, you wait them out.
Your writing about the injustices of writing is helping me wait out the feelings. It's helping me keep my eyes open, in a staring contest with reality I haven't yet won. I can't find that kind of help in many places right now. So this is really valuable to me. Thank you.
love this! would just like to note that abe books is a subsidiary of amazon. i wish i had a solution to this sneaky amazon move but just thought it was worth pointing out

I really enjoyed this. Thank you. I hope to one day publish a book that will be deemed crazy-ass. I love it.

A very thought-provoking and moving piece. I will be thinking about this for a long time.
Lovely piece
