I often gaze down at Mr. Spock (Hasbro 1974 mint condition) who looks back at me with indifference as I type. I imagine him asking me “Why do you torture yourself by writing when you could be making a living by some other means? I find that totally illogical.” I think for a moment about that question and then say “Shut up, you’re just a doll.” and go back to typing.
And if that intro hasn’t scared you away, I run 5PageHook.com as a way to help writers who live outside of Los Angeles connect with industry professionals.
