The jet-propelled rejection (ii)

[hirez]

F&SF bounced the thing only slightly less quickly than the Interzone chaps, but there's a big pond in the way.

Is there a land speed record for this sort of thing? Would listening to early Husker Du help?

I don't wonder that this writing business isn't yet part of my reality, because I suspect I should care more. Or I'm just so tiresomely arrogant that... No. That would be really quite bad.

Well are you writing because you enjoy it, or because you want to make a living out of it?

Yes.

Writing for its own sake is what LJ's for, though even that's a performance for anybody with the wit to know it. And who isn't entirely self-absorbed. Although, if entirely self-absorbed, then why in public on the internet? Like, HELLO? [/Chiller]

Telling stories to other people, making stuff up down the pub, whatever... The way the system works in this reality is that you go buy the books in the shop.
