I read the "About" on his blog, and he apparently is trying to eliminate sleep from his schedule. Good luck with that.
It's like reading someone on a cocaine binge.
ETA: Jessica, I haven't unpacked the rage yet at comparing himself to a slave.
Next up! S&S...SS? YES. MY 22K ADVANCE BEING LATE IS JUST LIKE WAITING IN LINE TO BE PUT INTO THE OVENS !@!#$#
I had to laugh at the six weeks. You think that's long? Stick around, bud.
Well, as we always say - hookers and blow!
Oh, so WROD. (Wow, I haven't used that one in a while.)
Yeah, I'll wait "like a bitch" for 22K. 6.5 whole weeks! Why, I've waited 52 WEEKS for that.
Whiner.
Years ago I read a book in which the main character is a writer. She writes "serious" pieces but writes series romances to pay the bills. In one scene she looks through her mail and finds a check for a piece in a serious magazine; it took her a long time to research and write it and then make revisions. The check is for a fairly small amount and took something like six months for them to send it. Another envelope has a check for a good deal more for a romance. It was one written very much to formula and she cranked it out in a short while and the publisher sent it fairly soon after she submitted the manuscript.

My sister bought me this out of nowhere. I didn't even know she knew thinkgeek was a thing. So I'm wearing it today along with these and feeling quite cross-pollinatedly geeky.
I hope his next agent is Ari.(Actually not...he can make your ass *rich*)
But I hope he acts like Ari.
"I just dropped you as a client, you short-sighted fuckface. You are HISTORY. Write me a poem about *that*

Someday, he'll say something. Maybe.

I think I should be aspiring to do
this.
Writing serious fiction is HARD.
