   Ah, but dreadfully easy to sell to The New Yorker, so I’m told. At least if you have the Big Name to go along with having been a writer that drearily long.

     See, that’s why I don’t really want to be a full-time writer. I think I could get more done, but I’d lose my grip on reality (such as it is).

     Metafiction always strikes me as the height of authorial pomposity.

   Thus far, the closest I’ve come has been to have a heroine whose occupation is professional letter-writer.

     Fortunately, I imagine it’s more difficult to have creative angst about letter-writing.
