To paraphrase Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, I love it when a good karmic plan comes together! On the heels of the bitch slapping I received from some pretentious wench in my workshop, I learned that my book, Off the Beaten (Subway) Track: New York City's Best Unusual Attractions was cited as one of ten indispensable guidebooks to New York City by Julie Schwietert at MatadorGoods. How awesome is that?!?! I am honored to be included on a list compiled by "A New Yorker who’s skeptical of guidebooks."
OTBST is also under review at a few travel blogs, and another travel website will have an article linking to the book soon. I may never write a literary masterpiece, but I like what I do, other people seem to like what I do, and I'm working to make it better. No complaints here. As "B.A." Baracus said, I pity the fool.*
*And I specifically mean the little ray of sunshine in my class, hopefully never to be mentioned again.

I suggest you practice dropping the phrase "When I had my first book published..." in every conversation with She Who Shall Not Be Mentioned just to rub it in.
ReplyDeleteYou rock.
You know what fascinates me about that, though? Since it is not a pretentious literary book, she won't care. It might as well be toilet paper. Pretentiousness is an interesting personality tick because it is so often in direct conflict with reality.
