• 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

You Are Like a Hurricane

Fetching as I look in this crepe paper tunic, I am going a little insane as I wait for Dr. Fox, now over a half hour late. What does this have to with publishing? Patience, dear reader. Nothing except that I want to point out that two women in the waiting room were reading Twilight. I should have been reading a manuscript, but I was in the Blackberry zone, you know, where a person is one with her device. I was recently at a dinner party where most of the people were putting down the Blackberry, you know, trash taking my bff. I love my Blackberry so much, I’d marry it. It’s like an electonic pack of cigarettes.
