• Forest for the Trees
  • THE FOREST FOR THE TREES is about writing, publishing and what makes writers tick. This blog is dedicated to the self loathing that afflicts most writers. A community of like-minded malcontents gather here. I post less frequently now, but hopefully with as much vitriol. Please join in! Gluttons for punishment can scroll through the archives.

    If I’ve learned one thing about writers, it’s this: we really are all alone. Thanks for reading. Love, Betsy

Intensive Care

Why is everyone so needy today, or do I have the worst case of PMS known to mankind? Speaking of PMS, there’s a feature in today’s NYT about a young (like 19) year old woman who put together an anthology about girls getting their first period. It’s called My Little Red Book, I think. I had an early opportunity to represent this book and I passed because I didn’t think that anyone would want to read about getting your period. Did I make a big mistake? Are you there god, it’s me Betsy.

  1. God, that’s funny. You made me laugh out loud in my crypt-quiet cube farm when I should be working.

    Thanks.
