Curmudgeons at The Chronicle

Two great finds in today's Houston Chronicle, which I love browsing through especially on Sundays:

Leon Hale, saying, "Writing a book is nothing. Selling it is hell." Why's that? In case you haven't guessed, click here for his essay on the topic.

Here's another note of interest, since I recently finished laughing my head off over Justin Halper's hilarious Sh*t My Dad Says.
William Shatner is quoted as saying he's done the show's pilot! Best. Casting. Ever.

Happy Sunday to you, too!

Saturday morning video: William Shatner in "It seemed like a good idea at the production meeting..."

So what lesson may we as writers extrapolate?

1) Stick with what you do best.

2) Don't let yourself get talked into a project you know is not for you.

3) If you're going to go down in flames, go down boldly. And with a sense of humor.
