It's been several days since my last blog. Nothing to report. The Devil's in the Details got a big remix. And Frank and Forthright is certainly a new direction.
Other than that the future's greyish, with some greenish bits in the corner.
In other news.
A man with a weakness for adverbs would write a story about his cat. After 32 submissions and 11 rewrites he does not realise 'cats' as subject matter are wholly unfashionable. Surely common sense would dictate he put the manuscript aside and write of a helicopter; a tale full of adjectives.
I fear he is obsessed with editing towards a moving target. As a man cutting off table legs to prevent a slight wobble; without a guide he will trim down to nothing. Does he not realise all he need do is wait for cats and adverbs to come into fashion? He may well learn during this process of editing but he is chasing a shadow. Between the time he puts his manuscript in the post and the editor begins to read, a rule or two will have changed. Cats are in, adverbs are good but third person is so last season (week).
