Twenty of them did not pick me, but then again I am probably not nor ever will be a novel writer.Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-50388687019292251722010-12-10T13:12:11.052+00:002010-12-10T13:12:11.052+00:00let me know how that goes for you -- i've had ...let me know how that goes for you -- i've had an agent for two years and i can't even get a tiny book published. i mean there are thousands of crummy books out there, it seemed like it wouldn't be a problem, but all i get are uplifting rejections, so i blog and i blog and i blog.wolfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16084546816050046835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-27569114103311455252010-12-10T13:11:23.247+00:002010-12-10T13:11:23.247+00:00Certainly the majority of popular media tends towa...Certainly the majority of popular media tends towards a liberal left worldview but there are a few voices in the wilderness. The Spectator is one place they inhabit.<br /><br />As for me, I don't expect you think I will sell out. I refused to join the NUJ when it operated a closed shop, because it operated a closed shop and because it supported the print unions who also operated a tyrannical closed shop. It did not do my career a lot of good, but if you acquiesce you are part of the problem, not the solution. There were others around who felt the same such as Bill Bryson, but he was more successful in finding an alternative way to indulge his creative urges.Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-40437762501773548332010-12-10T12:07:53.625+00:002010-12-10T12:07:53.625+00:00WW.

The importance of mass 3rd world immigration into the UK to help multiculturalism and save jobs. How nasty the coalition and SNP are, etc etc...<br />You will get a job with the BBC in no time at all.<br />Oh and even better if you can pronounce 'sport' as 'spawrt' and 'football' as fawtball'.<br />If you do a few posts along these lines then your regular commenters can all go along with it with relevant comments supporting your ideas if you like ?Jimnoreply@blogger.com
