• 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

On most Tuesdays, I stay over in the city and do something I haven’t done since college. No, not that. I pull an all-nighter. I fire up the FM radio, put on every light in the place in case there are any ghosts of unhappy clients past roaming around, and whip myself into an organizational frenzy. Yes, I am the person in the office with the label maker — and you know, I still can’t believe it,  NO ONE has ever asked to borrow it. People!
