Provided you are female (please don't disabuse me) I am flattered by your interest. I'm a 49 year old unsuccessful novelist- you can read my books on Google through the links above. <br />There's a saying- 'those who can do, those who can't teach and those who can't teach, write and those who can't ever bring themselves to finish their big novel do free lance editing'.<br />I used to teach and still help some mature students with their dissertations but basically I'm a free lance editor- which is like being a prostitute in that you can do a full day's work without ever getting out of bed except editing is far less well paid, more dehumanizing, and carries a huge social stigma.<br />There- now I've gone and put you off. Story of my life really. Mum warned me if I didn't lose weight and learn to cook (like there's any point losing weight if you're gonna learn to cook) I wouldn't be able to land a nice girl- a Doctor, or an MBA, or something like that- and that I'd die poor and lonely. <br />That's why my favourite move is 'Pretty Woman'. Like Julia Roberts, I too dream of a Client who will treat me with a little dignity, buy me nice clothes and take me to parties and get me a big publishing deal and then I'd like turn up at the Jaipur Literary Festival and when Sir Salman Rushdie says something catty about me to Vikram Seth, I'll just flounce up to them and say something really witty and suave- you know the kind of thing I mean- like Oscar Wilde's famous comeback to James Whistler 'I said "I wish I'd said that" and you said 'You will, Oscar, you will' which is like totally snarky and BTW at least my man-boobs are real even if they do reach down to my navel. So just fuck off back to America you worthless Yankee cunt & like OMG yo' Momma fugugly' <br />Properly considered, this verily is all Sahitya's true divyadhvani.windwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099651877551933295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674709389503889160.post-3667358355308910222012-10-26T12:41:13.051+01:002012-10-26T12:41:13.051+01:00This is cute.
