It's been said that we are divided into two groups:
Those who divide people into two groups, and those who do not.
At first glance, this requires more thought.
It's deeper than it appears.
There are those of us who are published authors and there are those of us who are encouraged to be so.
The problem is, the traditional process has been scripted for us.
We can't get there from here.
Well, one sort of 'can' get there, but it's like being asked to walk the entire distance while the really great ones among us get to take the airplane.
This includes agents, I reckon.
I recently joined up with Authorlink.com, which is a go-to operation for people looking for agents, publishers, writing tips, advice, and offering a place to strut your stuff.
Basically, the information for people who would rather take the plane than walk was: Forget it, you'll not get a ticket.
I'm not quite that calloused yet. I wrote some stuff and it's good. I won't walk or take the plane but I will be damned if I give it away.
It's sort of a shame that the people who root us on and are in a position to help us succeed are so disinclined to actually follow up on that.
In that respect, I divide people into two groups.
