But with some of them, I agree with you completely, and what amazes me is that these 'writers' managed to find a publisher, whereas I find that an ongoing struggle. What's wrong with this picture?<br />Thanks, Leesa.<br /><br />IanIan Lidsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-25155970037125901422007-02-01T03:14:00.000-05:002007-02-01T03:14:00.000-05:00All you lunch eating writers are giving a new mean...All you lunch eating writers are giving a new meaning to the phrase "starving artists."<br /><br />Man, food and writing ... my two favorite things in the world!

I would love some respect and a lunch but all they keep giving me are deadlines - and they throw things at me.

I think that it's great for both sides- and it is definitely being respected in my opinion.

Would I rather be an author that no one read, or one that some read and then regret having wasted their time? Seems like there should be another option, but I suppose if I thought there was a chance of there being another option, I'd started that book by now. <br />See how I ramble? The chances of that book are slim, lol.kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998865477080265039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-79986741434350657182007-01-31T09:02:00.000-05:002007-01-31T09:02:00.000-05:00Speaking of Youtube, are we allowed to hype our ow...Speaking of Youtube, are we allowed to hype our own hideous Youtube videos here by posting links? (whistles innocently) Mine are just interviews with some actors I worked with on Miserable People. (whistles innocenterly) It's okay if not, I'm a guy so I am very familiar with the word "no." (whistles innocentestly)<br /><br />Back to you, I don't have you zeroed in yet so I'm not sure how serious you are about writing a book. But in case you are, I think you've already got one with this blog. Michael Nelson's Movie Cheese book wasn't any funnier than this blog and it was damned funny. And you even have your stories to throw on top of it. (I know you write different kinds of essays than he did for that book but collections of essays are collections of essays so its doable.)<br /><br />Oh, and no kidding about writers and lunch. I try to get in at least three lunches a day! WOO HOO!!Shadowdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050123521522983399noreply@blogger.com
