I simply cannot NOT post this, found on Choriamb’s page via Ross White’s:
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. And when we study The Wasteland in my World Lit class in a few weeks, you can bet that this will make an appearance.
In other news: I think I’d mentioned on the blog that I was wondering very seriously if I should abandon my first manuscript. Whether I did or not, I was wondering very seriously if I should abandon my first manuscript. I had nearly come to the conclusion that it was a Hopeless Matter. And then! And then! A handwritten letter, that wonder of wonders, from a press, saying that they loved it and wanted me to resubmit. Hooray!
Signs are everywhere, I guess. One just has to look for them. Or hope for them. Or ask for them.
Shantih, shantih, shantih.
