I CAN'T WAIT to read The Rapist!<br /><br /><br /><em>“There is only one place to write and that is alone at a typewriter. The writer who has to go into the streets is a writer who does not know the streets... when you leave your typewriter you leave your machine gun and the rats come pouring through.” Charles Bukowski</em><br /><br />You know, I've always been wondering where the charm (not to mention the practical use) is in sitting with your laptop in a crowded freakin Starbucks, forcing ten paragraphs out of you in the bustle. What does it give you? Beyond the self-satisfaction of exposing your bare writerness in public like a pervert. Makes no sense to me. When I write, I'm completely oblivious to everything around me and I could probably kick someone's teeth in if he bothers me with small talk right then.<br /><br /><br /><em>“If you want to get rich from writing, write the sort of thing that’s read by persons who move their lips when they’re reading to themselves.” Don Marquis</em><br /><br />Awesome metaphor for today's only functioning marketing model: word-of-mouth.<br />Veronica Sicoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741318844378921184noreply@blogger.com
