The Writing Life
Last night I went to a talk about how to get your book published. If I were one of the panelists, my advice would be:
Give away all your work for free on your personal website; don’t be tempted to sell to publications with large readerships
Keep the length short. Everything shorter.
Don’t tell too many people you’d like to write a book because then they may ask you how the book writing is going
Know that once your book is published, you will become very, very rich and also famous so enjoy middle-class anonymity while you can
Revision is for the weak; write everything once and never look back
