Writer's Diary

Sunday, January 18, 2004

P.S. for the last post. Regarding the lack of transition - this is to be expected since I have sworn to never ever write another transition scene. I get to write transition sentences. That's all. I am only writing the stuff that works, leaving out all the boring parts. Just like Elmore Leonard. Also, since I'm on a roll, I should say I am feeling a bit discouraged about this writing business. I have such a pathetically small mailing list. I haven't even hit triple digits yet. I am thinking that wriiting is a lot like the rest of America, 1 percent of the writers make all the money and the rest are consigned to midlist hell. Plus, sometimes I really think I'm at least as good as, if not better them some of the Best Sellers and if I think that, then in reality, I must really be incompetent, because otherwise I would worry about being incompetent. [Rant about reading other people's drafts deleted]
