That's probably wise.

What is Meat Loaf?

A meaty bread?

Tell me who the fuck you really are and I'll answer your question.  I hate sockpuppets!  :grrr:

Well then, make up your mind!   ::)  Are you in or are you out here!   ::)

I make a MEATY meat loaf with the emphasis on MEAT and not bread crumbs.   :green:

IN!

Meat loaf makes me think of a huge chunk of bread with meat in the middle for some reason, nvmd.

True, but, it's a strange concept of a meal.  Probably concocted by people on tight budgets stretching meat out on a menu.

a publisher.  :laugh:

 :P

I thought you'd mentioned something about your thesis getting published. Or somebody helping you to look for one. Or something.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

one of my examiners has endorsed the novel, and i've sent it to the publisher she suggested with her recommendation, but i still haven't heard back from them yet.  (she's A Big Name in the literary world, so that should carry some weight).

it's all so subjective.  i mean, i know i'm not a towering literary genius, but i can write, and when i see the likes of dan brown and jeffrey "cunt" archer earning millions from their utterly abysmal writing...  grrrrr.

oh well.  there's still time before i die, i suppose.  ;)

It's weird that The da Vinci Code is one of the best-selling novels of all time. IMO, it's not as bad as you claim it to be, but I don't get the hype, either. :-\

it's the abysmally clunky writing, and the completely hilarious, histrionics all the way through which make it so bad.  i nearly choked on my beverage at some of it.  :laugh:

Dan Brown's writing is like a sports writer's--it gets the message across, but if you stop to think about the fine points, it all falls apart. I've read far worse.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
