"If there's one thing I love about our business, it's the never-ending evaluation by your would-be financial benefactors. Writers are paraded before publishers like hookers at a Nevada whorehouse. They examine us with leering, bloodshot eyes, as they try to determine if we're worth the $100 for a handjob. And then comes my absolute favorite part, the inevitable skeet-shooting of your creative self-esteem. Mmmmm, that burning sensation means you're a professional writer." -- excerpted from an email by the always delightfully insightful Eric Spitznagel (Image via Nevver)
