Maybe this is an answer to my question of the day the other day:- A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.
So maybe I should just be enclosing an envelope big enough for the royalty check?
I'm pretty sure I read or was supposed to read some Ring Lardner in my "Humor in American Literature Class" in college, but the only thing I remember reading in that class are the "Guys & Dolls" stories, and also stuff by Robert Benchley.No, not Jaws. Robert Benchley wrote hilariously dry essays to which Dave Barry owes a great deal of credit.
Five Pages is coming soon. Check back often to find out what that means!
