Believe me I have spent much time hiding under the duvet;)<br />I'm not sure if it ever gets any easier or if we just grow numb to the pain but at least we're all in it together. Good luck! x<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658027376908266092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979362699302378314.post-42040317283433788662012-10-25T05:23:00.781-07:002012-10-25T05:23:00.781-07:00What are the chances they'll pay me for using ...What are the chances they'll pay me for using it Mark? ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658027376908266092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979362699302378314.post-31165060902116157002012-10-25T04:21:08.841-07:002012-10-25T04:21:08.841-07:00More awesomeness from Lorraine – thank you Lorrain...More awesomeness from Lorraine – thank you Lorraine! As a first-time novelist I'm at sea, with my own special version of the existential dilemma (I'm everything/I am nothing), as I vacillate wildly between thinking that my writing is really quite good and thinking it's so laughably bad I should hide under the duvet. My favorite thing about your job description above is how you describe the expectation (on the part of "the system") that we should pour everything into the work, the observation that we do so with oblivious enthusiasm, and the tremendous disconnect between that effort and expected rewards. Great stuff. You are my angst mentor.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880262776614050044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979362699302378314.post-84722028432393065142012-10-25T01:27:05.865-07:002012-10-25T01:27:05.865-07:00This should be tacked at the end of every rejectio...This should be tacked at the end of every rejection letter.Mark Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183394221961369630noreply@blogger.com
