just what the world needs: more me

At this very moment you can find at the otherwise excellent fantasy-writing website Magical Words a guest blog post by moi, complete with comments . . . an' more comments . . . an' . . . an' . . . well, everything, really. The title of my rant is There are Far Too Many "Writers", and you can find it in its full fulminating splendour here.

Big thanks, obviously, to the MW crew (especially Stuart Jaffe, who set this up) for letting me pollute their bandwidth.

Man, you rock. I feel much the same way (although, to be honest, I tell people that I'm a consultant, because that's what pays the bills). My take was a bit less... civilized (http://www.apexbookcompany.com/2010/08/why-self-publishing-hurts-real-writers/).

Man, you rock.

I do? I must remember to tell my wife . . .

I remember reading your "Why Self-Publishing Hurts Real Writers" way back when and thinking roughly the same about yourself . . . not the bit about telling your wife . . .

LOL. Yes, we'd better keep our wives out of it for now!
