• 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

I Feel Stupid and Contagious

 

cakes

P.T Barnum once said (and I paraphrase):

What happens when you don’t do any marketing? Nothing.

To that end, I want to thank everyone who sent in a marketing idea. All really cool. But this isn’t first grade t-ball where everyone is a winner I’m sorry to say. The three winners are:

In third place: Host brewery and Bridge events. (I feel we could attract some dudes to Bridge which would be awesome. MKBove

In second place: partner with Entemann’s. This was the brand of cakes my mother served on Bridge nights. I actually thought they were only for Jewish people. Best was the cellophane window on the top of the box which we peered into like the bakery glass. afucking writer

In first place: a James Corden carpool karaoke style video. I literally just got Spotify and figured out how to place my phone in car to record Roz and me singing her favorite, “What’ll I do” and mine “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Tiffany

Winners please send me your snail mail at Betsy@dclagency.com and THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL.
