In Which Ira Glass Tells Me What I Need to Hear. Yesterday I wrote about the frustration I'm experiencing with my work in general.

Writing and books. My salvation and downfall. Monday, May 5, 2014. Warren Eyster / Writer and Teacher.

I list them for just that reason, to have someone think, Wow, two fine writers and this unknown studied with them so let’s pay attention to his work because he must have some talent. Finishing a second novel, No Country For Old Men.

http://www.amosmbooks.com/2011/05/connecting-system-of-tubes-known-as.html
Amos Magliocco's Writing Desk. Writing about writing and other topics for writing's sake. Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Connecting the system of tubes known as the interwebs.

I'll omit the URL because that seemed to cause a problem in the last post. Can't live with that, of course, so troubleshooting will commence presently. Put on the Petty".
