101 Reasons to Stop Writing

May is International Slushpile Awareness Month

 
This Month's Demotivator:

Poll Dancing #2

Still alive, still think your fiction could blind little kids. (Really, I’m surprised that President Bush didn’t name you in the State of the Union address as part of the “Slushpile of Evil”.)

No, I haven’t entirely stopped writing about stopping writing. I’m just trying to take heed of Reason 43: You Expect Other People To Read This Shit?

I’m also learning an abject lesson this week about the priority of this blog, in comparison to other aspects of (my) life. The anonymised version will probably become Reason 56: You Have A Family Who’ve Given Up Humouring Your Time-Wasting Obsessions.

A poll to tide you over, in the sidebar (that’s on the site to you RSS readers).

    Sean, you’re just demonstrating an extremely important rule of the blogging world, one that very few bloggers actually follow (or know exists, obviously):

    If you’ve got nothing to say, and more important things to do, stay the hell away from your blog.

  2. Abject lessons aren’t nearly as fun as they should be. :)

Write without pay until somebody offers to pay you. If nobody offers within three years, sawing wood is what you were intended for.
