50 reasons no-one wants to publish your first book.
I particularly liked:
10. They liked it better when it was called JANE EYRE and didn’t suck.
*giggling*
17. You’re not just being paranoid; there really is a vast corporate conspiracy to ensure that your revolutionary ideas never leave your parents’ basement.
Oh dear, I know people like this.
I could add a few:
51. Sentences like: "my cunt makes a disappointed queeb sound" will only make people buy it in fascinated horror.
52. Having your gay couple get married in church in 1700 is going to make the slush reader snort tea out of their nose.
54. 75 pages of wolf shagging isn't sexy. Except to a very small slice of the world's population.
55. James Joyce was having them all on. He got away with it. You won't.
Any more?
