  • Interesting. If there's one thing I was put on this earth to do, it's write. Nothing else gives me anything like as much satisfaction. It's my natural interest. I reckon it's a totally selfish pursuit too. I've written this and that, here and there, but never on the themes I'd like - satire/criticism.

    I did some work experience for a literary agency a while ago, and the refusal rate for unsolicited manuscripts was pretty much 100% - tough gig, writing.

    From your posts TheorySwine I'd say you have a natural talent for it. Stick at it. One of the skills I've found to be of the most benefit where writing is concerned, and certainly in the shark infested waters of advertising, is to be a charmingly stubborn prick. That and developing a skin that any walrus would be proud of.
