Comments on The Path to Publication

Not to mention the soon to be published "How To Embarrass And Discourage Young Writers" by Dan Savage.

All this kid needed was a hug. Obviously, he went to the wrong guy

I think Dan already made his feelings about hugging strangers (and sponsoring student internships) pretty clear.

Did I just spot a Dave Segal dig in this post?

So why the redux on this issue? Is Dan conflicted? Would Dan secretly like to spend 2 hours a week with a young, nubile,impressionable sexologist in training, but couldn't possibly because he's fearful of......his own boogie men? The boogies of course being that he may not be quite the mentor that the young, nubile future sexologist was expecting? Is it a fear of failure?

lol @4, nice catch.

Starting a blog and using it as a forum to practice serious attempts at writing would help this kid a great deal.

Oh my god, a person dared to write an honest question to the holy king of Seattle news. We shall have to send her to the gallows.

Jerk!
