Good tips, good tips. I had a famous writer once de-friend me for daring to leave a message (a pleasant message) on his FB page, so in your show of patience, I think you went above & beyond the call of duty.

Yeah, I have a couple of ‘friends’ who email me and every other American citizen to promote every word they poop. Time for me to get off the pot and say ‘no’. It’s one thing if the acceptances comes every one in 2-3 months (like mine… sigh…) OR are in super markets (like, THE SUN or TIN HOUSE), but these guys are prolific and send their stuff everywhere. Maybe I’ll gift them with a blog template… Peace, Linda

Yeah I completely understand what your talking about, but it doesn’t bother me, because my inbox is usually as bare as a nudist beach. So I like reading shit from any source, it don’t really care what the aim of the author is.
But my life isn’t like that scene in Audition, with the girl watching the phone and the bag, I have a life apart from waiting for e-mails, I sware.

You gotta put your foot down, Aaron. Proclaim, “No more!” and give your in-box a rest. It needs it.

Well “said”, Mr. Swartwood. I’m neck-deep in newsletters from people I’ve never heard of being published in this or that FTL market. Thanks, but blog about it and let me decide to click or not to click.
