The new guy in charge sounds like a real prize.
I wish some authors would realize there's sometimes a valid reason no one will publish their work.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, just as not all self-published books are pathetic wanking basement dwellers, YOU, INEPT RACIST WRITER should be rejected by even the people just running a printing mill. You are a blight on humanity.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So this Ray Bradbury guy knows how to write words good.

Just a bit, yes. Something Wicked This Way Comes is like someone getting drunk on words.

It's so rife with imagery! Basically every sentence is a brilliant metaphor. It makes me want to write except I would suck.

I don't think your play wrote itself.

I read some stories of yours years ago, and I think you have a lot of talent. If you're worried about sucking (about reactions to the work), you want to write for the wrong reasons.

Oh, that wasn't even hardcore self-deprecation, that was just typical "How could I possibly compare to Ray Bradbury?" bullshit.

Yeah, well. Remember there was already a Ray Bradbury. You need to write what *you* write.
