OH MY SAINTED AUNT!!!

I read Grumpy's post and I EMAILED HIM. I Emailed a HERO. WHAT AM I DOING? It's one thing trying to contact the usual suspects --- but actually talking to someone who is a real writer and also knows about the book business. Get a grip, writer. You are hovering above your natural home in the sewer. Think Kafka - go home, get salaried job. Write books. Tell friend to destroy upon death. Guess you'll never know whether the work was any good or not. Suffer Trial, go to Castle, Metamorphose into a Bug.
