I got on a plane yesterday with Lady Ninja and two Ninjlings and am currently stopped over in Toronto before a long drive into the wilds of Owen Sound. So here’s a quick update of a few stories that I can get to before the baby wakes.
- Big shakeup at Random’s Crown
- Atwood gives list of 10 gifts to give the budding novelist (may I add: a smack up side the head)
- Harlequin gets kicked in the heaving bosom by the Mystery Writers of America
- Hachette steps up to be the first in line to sue Borders
- Hulu for publishers (does this mean most of its content won’t be available in Canada like the regular shitty Hulu?)
- Screw best-of the decade lists… it’s time for a Worst-of the decade list
- Mennonites get publishers hot
- S&S and Hachette are standing up against Amazon

Atwood forgot John Gardner’s On Becoming a Novelist. Necessary read for anyone wanting to, you know, become a novelist (funny how she managed to included her book though). She also forgot money. A big bag of it. Good for the budding and in-full-leaf novelist.

Whatever happened to “a few decks of fags, a two-four, a forty of bourbon and an eight-ball”? Scribbling is not what it used to be.

Am I the only one who is finding this end-of-the-decade stuff is rather premature? Or is it just that the decades go past faster now, comparatively speaking?

Brantford Marsalis first told this joke about playing jazz, but I think it applies here as well:
Q. How do you become a millionaire writing fiction?
A. First, you start off with two million dollars…
