10 Jobs for Every 10 Million People Who Want To Be a Writer
The eagle-eyed blogger Jeffrey Yamaguchi just steered me towards Tod Goldberg's blog where a novelist and journalist cranks out writing wisdom and throws wicked jabs at the writing world. 

Case in point: "Letter From A Writer's Conference." We can laugh, but we need to pay attention to his point--don't get caught up in the insane competition and behavior bred by this profession with 10 jobs for every 10 million people who want to be a writer.IMG_0177.jpg

I laughed, I cried...

"3. Number of writers who attempted to present me with velobound manuscripts: 9
4. Number of writers who asked me to write their ideas: 4
5. A conversation with a very nice woman who wanted some advice on her short story:
Woman: I think my short story would make a great musical.
Me: Uh, okay.
Woman: I've already written all the lyrics and am adapting it for a movie musical.
Me: What was the last musical you saw?
Woman: Oh, I can't remember the last time I saw a great musical. They don't make great musicals anymore."
