• 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

Dearest darling readers of this blog,

I am going on vacation for a week. Well, if you call a vacation schlepping up to Lake George to defend my title as mini-golf champion of the world.

  1. Ooh, this is like coming downstairs on Christmas morning. Can’t wait to unwrap the goodies! Good luck on the mini-golf course.

  2. In that case, I shall tip my hat in the pluperfect, Ms Lerner. Have fun!

  3. I can’t believe you have put all of this delicious information here for us to gobble up to our heart’s content. I found this feast after listening to a radio interview of you by Barbara DeMarco. Can’t wait to read The Forest for the Trees. In the meantime, I will devour this blog and keep devouring it until I can’t see anymore.
    Thank you so much!
