Annoying Distractions: No. 23 Unpublished Writers

Two of the poor things today. And I want to be encouraging and polite but each time I write a witty reply, it's taking time from other work. And I don't have the hours in the day to be consistently pleasant.

I'm so glad I restrained myself from sending you my 657-page Illustrated History of the Dung Beetle for possible inclusion in your book club.
Nice drawing though.

No, please send it. You'd be surprised at what I'm interested in.

I thought the ladder looked crap but I did that one very, very quickly -- a couple of minutes, just out of a fit of pique, I suppose. I've been drawing all weekend and have some really funny cartoons out of it -- too many to post, some too good to give away for nothing. Then another Kliban collection drops through the letter box and I realise how poor my efforts really are. ;o)

Wait. I chase you down to find you WON'T make me instantly rich and famous?

Tease.

Megan, you know how it is. Once you made somebody into a multimillionaire, they don't call, they don't write... Sort of devalues the whole enterprise and makes me wonder if it's worthwhile.
