Congratulations on your book tour! No...Nice site. Congratulations on your book tour! Not everyone gets good publicity, so you're doing the wise thing and dropping all else to promote your books. I hope you do very well!<BR/>When you say that you read others' work . . . is that in the context of an online workshop, or what?<BR/><BR/>I've been considering posting either excerpts from my novels or some of my unsold short stories on my website, just so they have a chance of being read by someone I've never met. I don't expect agents or editors to read them, but it would be nice to have *somebody* see them. My family quit believing LONG ago, and besides, they don't like fiction. (They don't even read the exalted Harry Potter, so that tells you.)<BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself out there on the road. Sounds pretty grueling, but fun. Let us know how it all works out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-1120445402696896912005-07-03T21:50:00.000-05:002005-07-03T21:50:00.000-05:00I remember nothing but being a HUGE success. I've ...I remember nothing but being a HUGE success. I've always been succesful and have taken pleasure in crushing the spines of those I walked over to get here. <BR/><BR/>I choose not to teach because I want no one coming along who may, by some bizarre alignment of the stars, surpass me. <BR/><BR/>Where I came from? Right here in ye ole lap O luxury, pal. My poop don't even stink. <BR/><BR/>Ah, but I do give back. Always. I give back my perfectly executed tales to those less fortunate and less intelligent than I, who were unable to attain the incredible success I have, and now must keep from slicing through their own throats on a daily basis by reading the glorious words that ooze out of me.<BR/><BR/>I just don't want to ever meet them or sign anything for them. <BR/><BR/>Yours in designer duds,<BR/>Margaret AtwoodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-1120411841037249022005-07-03T12:30:00.000-05:002005-07-03T12:30:00.000-05:00Amen brother.
