Enough already

Just as your car - at least out here in the vast West - becomes an extension of your home, the bloggie becomes a representation of your inner life. Or something like that. As a result of a 4:30am revelation - yes, one of those kind, I decided to take down that negative crap of recent weeks and start anew. It's still Rejection Central, of course, but I want to focus on tangibles. Like this: Eve Pell on KQED Forum - what a great interview about her book, We Used to Own the Bronx. I couldn't put it down when I read it in galley and had the feeling this would make a splash when it was published and damn if I wasn't right.
And let me call your attention to a bit of classic Tod Goldberg, from a post called This is what it means to say Tucson, Arizona. There's little I enjoy more than Tod's recounting his strange encounters whilst on the road.
That's it for now, stay tuned.

Good for you! But are you going to post more publicist/author advice?

[Matthew 7:5]

I guess not. :(

I think Eve Pell did a hella nice job on 'We Used To Own The Bronx'. But how could you possibly complete that entire vital, visceral experience, wearing rose-tinted glasses? WTF, Pete?!?

Your "negativity" is what makes your list so great. Your gen-u-wine inability (I've known you for decades) to polish turds, uplifts your profession.

No one could ever call you a 'flack'. Yet, you get 'er done. Your books get buzz, and they should. Your un-embossed, small-to-medium press run, beautifully done (typically) monographs, weird collections, classic graphic novels, and however else you'd fail at characterizing your mix MUST become known.

You pump your authors, you can speak knowledgeably about their work, and your opinion is respected. I think the respect is the fruit of dealing primarily with those who actually like to read. Books. Who don't believe good writing is "content". How can you be as eclectic as you are, without being a bit of a curmudgeon?

So, boo fucking hoo, that you aren't Paullyanna.

You keep doing you. It's not the easy road, but it's the high one. I mean, the best road. Or somethin'. Just say no!

Don't you hate it when you segue from fist bump to paranoia?

Me too.

heh.
