Professional Journalists Don't Respond to Flames.

But they totally post them in their ljs.


Ms Horak:

I avidly read your article today being a fan of good coffee and of good gelato. But I found the article arrangement muddled with numerous side paths (what was all the stuff about wildberries - totally worthless) with no mention of coffee until the seventh paragraph. It is a Coffee Company afterall.

But in the end the article was essentially worthless. Why? Because there is no address for the company. Yes there was a vague referrence to the Pedestrian mall, in the first paragraph, but most readers will have forgotten that by the end of the article. You had a side bar that should have contained important information like the address.

In summary I find your reporting lacks precision, you should dig out that unfinished novel and focus on its completion.

Although it's no longer socially acceptable to walk around in velvet tights while holding a human skull in your hand, as a Classic Thespian you probably approach each part with a discipline and passion not seen since the days of Shakespeare. You do more than memorize lines--you take every teeny tiny line of dialogue apart and study it for deeper meaning. Read more...

Instead of sleeping I wrote 3000 good words of Love Is In The Water. God I'm tired. 80 Hours front is out. Really good workshop of MMM yesterday, conference with McPhearson today. So tired I think in little spirals. Wrote in wierd Notepad program, not Word, so have no idea how many pages I wrote, single or double spaced. Only found wordcount through an online text window program. Have emailed the people who might know the number for the people who publish Zadie Smith, who I'm supposed to interview. If I get it, I have to read her work. If I don't get it, the paper doesn't cover Zadie Fucking Smith, profesional wunderkind, and we look like jackasses. Holla.

But anyone know how many pages that'd be, single or double spaced, in times 12?

*EDIT* Shit dude, 8 pages (double spaced). For a first once sitting? Awesome. I mean it's going to a a lot longer? But feel like I didn't waste my night with REM sleep or any of that superflous stuff.
