Who is this dude?
Some advice for budding writers from Lore Sjöberg in his post “How to get Published and Avoid Alien Bloodsuckers” on his Alt Text blog on Wired.com:
“I myself was once an aspiring writer, before I became famous and wealthy beyond the fever dreams of a thousand rajahs. I know how difficult it is, and how tempting attention can be. But if you follow these guidelines, you’ll not only protect yourself, you’ll also protect the Earth from invasion by insectoid parasites that depend on the cooperation of naive writers to supplant humans as the planet’s dominant species and put us to work as blood-cows for their throbbing young.”
And to think! I will soon be congregating with him, among other Internet luminaries, at this evening’s ROFLThing, which I am reporting on for the East Bay Express.
Gratuitous linking! So fun! So easy!
