THE SECRET DIARY OF CLUELESS NEWBIE #17

Day 1:

Stupid manuscript. Stupid format. Stupid publishers.

Day 2:

Argued with pros about stupid format. Pervy editor fanciers. Still not respected.

Day 3:

Pros obviously in league with dark forces. Tried to mount assault on status quo, but was hindered by unwillingness of companions. Besides, Burt will stomp me if I try anything.

Still not respected, dammit.

Day 4:

Is everyone in this group a weenie but me?
Angered: 7 fellow writers. V. impressive.

Day 16:

Killfiled by Beth. No matter, other people still paying attention to self-important hand-waving.

Day 327:

Guys? .... guys?
