The Aim

The purpose of this blog is to address social, political and literary issues that annoy me. I’ve resisted joining the blogging revolution and sticking to writing books, but the process is a tedious one and unless you’re writing about something important like fellatio in high places, it could take a book from contract signing to bookstore shelf anywhere from 18 to 24 months. Sometimes the process is longer.Often, unless you're writing fare designed to reassure people that bad guys never win, or you're too realistic and write about pertinent issues, you're told you're writing dark stuff and depressing people, and ignored as having a bad attitude or not being positive enough. And forget it if you're poking fun at certain aspects of United States life. The only way Americans seem to understand humor is in written form if someone invents a way of including a laugh track in a book. Don’t even think of it Bill Gates, you Draculian monster. File this under the whatever category: I need to vent so perhaps this will be therapeutic. I doubt it but it'll give me a break from worrying about what’s going to happen to this society.
