This post oin misssnark.blogspot.com/... is neurosis inducing, but it does remind me of people who whine that nobody understands the brilliance of their work. Invariably, those people are massively resistent to the idea that their work might be flawed in some way. Here's why I don't think they're right: I have yet to met an author with bona fide credits who doesn't frequently entertain the notion that everything she/he writes is dreck and she's just been lucky to somehow manage to pull off a miracle with this last book. I've heard a couple of unagented authors complain about not being able to find an agent despite multiple publications. I've always thought that was strange. What agent doesn't want a writer who's producing and selling? Miss Snark drops some hints here. Finding an agent is really hard, but not impossible. For these authors, you have to wonder if maybe it's not their work, but them. Interesting. OK, off to shiver under the effects of general writer's neurosis.
