In case it hasn't been obvious: IT'S STILL HOT AND WE STILL DON'T FEEL LIKE BEING THE REJECTIONIST. Here, read this oldie-but-goodie (sp? IT'S SO HOT WE FORGOT HOW TO FUCKING SPELL) instead: John Scalzi's Utterly Useless Writing Advice (hint: it's not useless). Useful if you want to, like, write for a living. HA HA HA HA SUCKERS.

Don't forget! tomorrow! is What Form Rejection Means to Me day! We'll make a funny, promise. Well, we'll find it funny. AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.

Best. Article. Ever.

Quotable:

7. What if I send something out and it gets rejected?

What do you mean “if”?

10. I’ve sold an article! I’ve sold two! Should I quit my day job?

Hell, no. Don’t be an ass.

Seriously. That's the best article I've read all week.

This summer is evil and is slowly eating my appliances. It was so hot yesterday my refrigerator gave up.

I'm going to reread that excellent article and while I drink all the cold milk in the office fridge.

The Old Spice man might be cranky, but I'll bet he smells a *$&#*$ sight better than the gentleman with whom I just shared a blessedly short trip in the elevator.

I mean, if you're going to train for the big race this weekend, have the common decency to jog on home and shower before coming into the library. Or at least dry off---humidity damages books, people.

I thought the points for flexibility were what counted? And here I've been doing my yoga like a SUCKER.

That explains your greatness. Or your drinking.
