I get that, and hate it, as well.(And I'm envious, too...I admit it. I wonder what I could do with that kind of support.) And I hate that people read that stuff, cause people on the street have kind of a secret handshake attitude as regards writers and writing anyway, ime. Maybe we're rubes in the desert though.Oh, Deb, insent.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

t sunny optimist But when I actually stop to look at my bookshelves, most of the books I own were written by people with no more inherent pull to help them get their feet in the door than what I have. And many of them are even successful enough to make a living at it. t /sunny optimist

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Well, he does share the wealth. One of my housemates some years ago was working on the temple complex he's building in Woodside, and that's not complete yet. She got a lot of good experience in fine Japanese carpentry from the masters he imported for the project. Did you know they even imported the wood?

Yup. And I'd felt a lot kinder about it if hje hadn't cut down a shitload of rare old trees to make room for his Japanese temple, after agreeing with the town in writing to not do that, and then waving his moneybags at them.
At least he could have used the wood from the trees he obliterated.

Theo, the verbiage in the one from "Editor Who Still Loves You" sounds eerily like my editor. Betting it isn't, though.
