They have reached the lowest common denominator factor. If its not a cookbook or a selfhelp scam it had better be a genre novel with movie rights possibilities. The internet offers a vast array of writing of all types much of it very very well written, explorative, passionate, well-crafted and its free. Why give 20% to the author and the rest to a bunch of suits and business people? It's only a matter of time before independents takeover just like they have in the music business. Next time someone who doesn't put their writing on the internet cos they are a 'professional' says anything to me about writing, haha, I will say,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-67247384774605585152008-07-23T13:03:00.000-04:002008-07-23T13:03:00.000-04:00Why is it that there is such a chronic deficit in ...Why is it that there is such a chronic deficit in enthusiasm amongst agents? They always talk about how they're not enthusiastic enough.<BR/><BR/>Well, then, drink some damned espresso and get some adrenalin rolling, or hold a freakin' pep rally or something!<BR/><BR/>I know I don't have the luxury of turning down work because I'm not enthusiastic enough. That one wouldn't go over well with my editors. "Sorry I couldn't turn in my columns this week. I lacked sufficient enthusiasm."<BR/><BR/>End of rant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
