Combine it with a vengeful nature and a dubious lottery (disguised as an altruistic endeavor), it takes self-serving to another level that I find distasteful in general and unhelpful to writers in the long run. Demonstrating how editing could make his story stronger or how it evolves over time would be instructional and maybe get him an agent a lot faster in the long run than carping about it in cyberspace and wasting valuable time doing so.<BR/><BR/>Yust mi too sense.Rick Bylinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493557860835710721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546477542650006798.post-22739517865419695862007-09-24T09:21:00.000-04:002007-09-24T09:21:00.000-04:00What's wrong with self-serving?What's wrong with self-serving?Jack Getzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516237388744739669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546477542650006798.post-30545893461587674782007-09-24T08:05:00.000-04:002007-09-24T08:05:00.000-04:00I think some people spill too much in their blogs....I think some people spill too much in their blogs. Why would you want to show the world your flaws? And true, what agent is going to change their mind because anonymous bloggers said he should?<BR/><BR/>Jason had a point when he said that since blogs are free, people tend to go overboard with them (or words to that effect). I enjoy the community they create, and with mine I'm able to keep my friends current with what I'm up to.
