Preacher: There's no way I can write 50,000 words in one month and be satisfied with it so I am accepting this by doing my best to sabotage the book by making it nonsensical, pretentious and hard to read.
I got a bacon, stilton, and pear quiche on the way home.
it soudns like it would be awesome
without the pear part
why put pear in that?
The pear part is actually a kind of pear chutney that was spread on the base before it was filled. It's really good. It's that whole cheese + sweet fruit/preserve/pickle thing.
hmm that sounds kind of good actually

that is a flavor combination that i ran into a lot in england and occasionally in indian cooking and i don't really think anyone else does much it that i know of. maybe australians.
a publisher won't send you a letter about how bad it is they'll just send you a form letter with some blanks filled it
No, see those are fun because form letter responses read in conjunction with the letter to which they are a reply are always faintly surreal because they don't quite fit properly.
no but I'm trying to get into the publishing business. I've been interviewing for a little over a month. I don't know very much really because I've only ever had an internship at a small house but I do know the basics.

i don't think you need to work in publishing to know that a terrible novel written specifically to be terrible has a snowball's chance in hell of being published
that said
i would buy it sarks

I'm also combining my other stories with this one. One of the characters narrates like a hard-boiled detective and it pisses off his girlfriend who can tell he's doing it just by how he acts outwardly.

i find it kind of unpleasant.
Do US cheeseboards not come with preserves and some grapes? That's a shame.

just i guess not with the market
i mean, if the dude from kotaku can publish a book...

Eddy, I'm sure you get this all the time, but: why publishing? Isn't that market fairly certain to experience negative growth until it dies?

Eddy if you get a job at a publishing house can I give you the manuscript and would you promise to convince someone to read it and send me a letter telling me how terrible it was and how it was terrible even if you considered that it was supposed to be terrible, that it isn't even good ironically and that I should never write again.

usually a bit of preserves or apples/ pears, but not vinegary things.
i've seen more incorporation of sweet flavors into savory lately, but i don't think it's really as common in the US as it is in england.
branston pickle, for instance, was confounding and revolting to me, but you guys love it.

Fragile Sedans could be your big breakout!
Sarks might be the next JK Rowling, you never know.
Maybe the monster witnessed the act in the woods, learned from it, and then imitated it (stole the brother's life just like the jealous protagonist attempted to do, but in a more complete fashion).
This would indicate that the difference between man and beast is senseless slaughter, as depicted earlier in the story, and killing motivated by greed.
Secondly, it would show that, in order to become human, a beast must learn to covet as humans do. This suggests that man's most essential character trait, the one which separates us from the beast, is the desire to possess that which belongs to another.

"Dear Mr. Sarksus,
Enclosed is the ream of paper you sent our publishing house. We are unable to make use of it, as you seem to accidentally have printed letters onto it.

because that would be funny, and I'd probably buy it

if you took podly
and carved off all of the extraneous bits
whittled him right down to his core
and only the core remained
this is what you would have

also we used to send rejection post cards at my internship. those were the saddest things.

And possibly level a bit...
EDIT: And decide on a character.
eh, not really
i made a prediction based on the material itself, he made one based on the market and state of publishers (of which i had no knowledge)
violent chemistry doesn't really post here anymore
Will, please have my self-hating nerd babies.

like publishing or journalism
because it's so fluid, you have a lot of room for new ideas and failures as we move to a digital world
