Being a writer = psychotic persistence

I had a request for that hysterical agent/writer clip from YouTube, but apparently it's been taken down for "violation of use" or something like that. Dang it. So I'll post something I read over on Jay Lake's blog yesterday. It's not as funny, but it puts an interesting twist on how and why writers do what we do -- psychotic persistence. Enjoy!

Coming up on Saturday, I'll post a short snippet from The Trouble with Demons. Coming up tomorrow, something else. I don't know what yet. ; )

UPDATE: I went to the dentist this morning, found out I probably need a root canal, so I'm going to the surgeon tomorrow afteroon to "get 'er done." Wish me luck. Jeez, what a week. ; )

Good luck Lisa! With everything. I suppose that I'm not at all one to talk, but try not to be too scared about the tooth. The fear is the worst part.

Thanks for the upcoming snippet :)

bye :)

Thank you! Actually, I'm the kind of person who almost falls asleep in the dentist's chair. Dental surgery, however, is a little more anxiety producing, but it's nothing I can't handle. ; )

{Chuckle} There's something funny about the term "psychotic persistence." {SMILE}

Best of luck with the root canal. {Smile}
