Based on some posts I’ve read (and written) around here lately, I think some of us should have the last few lines of this post sewed into our shirts, written on our mirrors, tattoed on our butts (OK maybe not the most practical place for easy reference) … but you get the point. You could, of course, replace Self Published with the appropriate phrase that is relevant to you.
This post is short and to the point:
Self Published
Ben Franklin
Ezra Pound
Emily Dickinson
Marcel Proust
Dave Eggers
Thomas Paine
Jane Austen
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Walt Whitman
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Stephen Crane
Nikki Giovanni
Virginia Woolf
The question isn’t whether or not you should wait to be picked, the question is whether you care enough to pick yourself.
