There's a lot of material being written at any given time, but only so much capital available to lead to publication; the winnowing process is patently unfair. I'm glad for someone if they manage to get published in any fashion. I'm very surprised that there isn't more material "published" on the web, to be honest, but I suppose that folks who think that they can actually be published won't generally use the web because they won't get paid for their work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20970837.post-1137696832411945382006-01-19T11:53:00.000-07:002006-01-19T11:53:00.000-07:00If I wrote *he* slept with someone it would be lib...If I wrote *he* slept with someone it would be libel--and probably unfair and mean to his wife.

But I just don't know if I could put that much work into it. <BR/><BR/>It looks like he was accepted by the same people who had already rejected him *just because they met him*. Who you know rather than how good you are. Same as in anything else and damn depressing for it.Brenda Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374974615956745242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20970837.post-1137683479791000772006-01-19T08:11:00.000-07:002006-01-19T08:11:00.000-07:00He slept with someone to get published?
