The essays in this book were written over the last four years and
published in various, mostly small and obscure, publications. Their
common themes are, now that I've seen them all together:
Contradiction and Survival. Contradiction: I say in one essay that
I've given up writing non-fiction articles (like the ones collected
here) to concentrate on fiction. Then, in a later essay, I speak of
shotgunning out 30 article proposals in 30 days. I also flip-flop
and waffle on the importance of marketing and critique groups. This
isn't because I can't make up my mind, it's because writing is a
contrary, contradictory business. Which, for me, is part of its
allure: not knowing what tomorrow may bring. Survival: Writing is a
difficult, lonely business and if the 15 pieces here have served as
nothing but personal pep talks they have served me well. I hope you
enjoy them. At the least I've discovered a surefire method of
surviving the pains, twinges and frustrations of writing
professionally. I can always write about it.
