But in the meantime, there are a lot of naive folks out there who bought multiple houses on imaginary equity based on his advice. He didn't blow us up the bomb, but he surely handed some people a grenade with the pin pulled.<br /><br />That's one of the reasons I really like Peter Bowerman's "Well-Fed Writer." His approach to getting business is honest and business oriented. And in the follow-up "Well-Fed Self Publisher," he's very clear that his advice is based on his experiences of his first book...and that your mileage may vary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701815231353263575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146828060840285655.post-51330360297293818652009-06-11T23:45:19.647-03:002009-06-11T23:45:19.647-03:00Wow, seems like I'm way late in this convo. Re...Wow, seems like I'm way late in this convo. Regardless, interesting post and I also saw that douche talking about six figure salaries being a freelance copywriter. Not to be 100% skeptical, but I'd love to see his income statement and what he works on just to see if I can't give it a shot, because it has that disgusting pyramid scheme residue to it.Jokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224267023770962108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146828060840285655.post-19772312608602355612009-06-10T17:00:51.953-03:002009-06-10T17:00:51.953-03:00Aarghh!!!

That's the kind of thing that makes me think that guy talk in the locker room pales in breadth and depth (and filth) compared to what women are capable of blithely chatting about over tea and crumpets.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701815231353263575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146828060840285655.post-73342953637505663422009-06-09T13:28:34.409-03:002009-06-09T13:28:34.409-03:00I started reading Dooce--probably the biggest Momm...I started reading Dooce--probably the biggest Mommy Blogger of them all--a little while ago, but stopped. When each post gets 1,000+ comments, it leaves the Blogosphere and becomes something else altogether. It lost the conversational feel, and I wasn't interested anymore.<br /><br />Mind, the woman makes TONS--and she blogs beautifully.Teeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943312952246047448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146828060840285655.post-10140972858226583452009-06-08T16:53:53.613-03:002009-06-08T16:53:53.613-03:00Courtesy of Chronic Fatigue, a link to a slightly ...Courtesy of Chronic Fatigue, a link to a slightly more realistic NY Times article about blogs falling in a forest and no one hearing:<br />http://www.tinyurl.com/ljbbp5Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701815231353263575noreply@blogger.com
