• 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

Dooce

Just got back from Heather Armstrong’s B&N reading for the launch of her book, It Sucked, And Then I Cried. It was SRO and she sold every last copy they had in the store. Amazing to see her fans come out, buy multiple copies, take pictures with Heather. Rock star! If you don’t know her website, Dooce.com, check it out. She’s been doing it since 2001 and there’s a reason she’s won every blog award and is in every top ten list. Yes, she’s gorgeous. Yes, she’s savvy. Yes, the site is to die for. But it’s something else. She writes like a bat out of Utah.
