Writing is hard, bu...Suebob, you should be afraid. Writing is hard, but you have the chops. I started writing without any formal training. Some think the 2 best writing schools are the University of Iowa and Stanford. One of my editors said that she can tell when a writer has graduated from these programs: that their graduates bear the brand traits. She also said that she likes naive writers, like me. Ingenues take chances (and make mistakes) that a more erudite writer might be too wise to make. And editors are willing to work with talented, ignorant writers. I know you have talent. I can't descry your measure of training. My point is that degrees don't matter. Editors don't give a shit if you have a piece of paper. They care about what you can do on a piece of paper. <BR/><BR/>You also have gumption. One of the first times I posted here, I challenged you. You met that challenge with grace. You'll need that grit and composure, because if enough people read what you write, you will provoke. You will disappoint. You will infuriate. And they'll come gunnin' for you, cowgirl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-1150862744107889362006-06-20T21:05:00.000-07:002006-06-20T21:05:00.000-07:00Thank you everyone.

And when you're off to work, your wit must have to wear a strait jacket and one of those Hannibal Lector masks and perhaps even you plop an apple into your wit's mouth, ala a roasted pig, so it will be still. And must you coax it with candy too, a promise of bon-bons upon returning home, so it won't say, "Urmmmghrrarrrr," all day? <BR/><BR/>Can you ever quip when you freelance? Or are you only able to coax words into the semantic equivalent of flaming-hoop-jumping in cyberspace? If so, I sigh for thee.<BR/><BR/>Start writing for mags. Maybe Bust? Bitch? Adbusters?
