Warning: Just Getting Published is Not Enough

With editing, photography, and life, I've been busy and very neglectful of this blog.  It will probably continue to be so for some time.

But I do peruse the writing and agent blogs every week.  Tonight, I came across this wonder from Writers Beware:

James Frey's Fiction Factory, published in the New York Magazine

If you know little or a lot about book packaging, read this.  If you know anything about Hollywood, read this.  If you think you understand how low things can be in the underworld of writing, read this.  Have your eyes opened wide.

And then I stare at the pictures and the names of contemporary visual artists I admire--working with, and buddy-buddy with, this conman.  I grow sick.

Ed Ruscha, my love, back out.
