Since I’m still recovering from a Toronto weekend conference, Green Hornet and Black Swan, here are a couple of recent links you may have missed:

Dean Wesley Smith blows agents’ future aspirations out of the water (make sure you read through the pithy comment section, too!) and Anis Shivani tells you to forget everything you thought you knew about writing and publishing.

Much of it appeals to me because neither believes in sucking up and allowing yourself to be put down or kept down by The Man.

What do you think? 

Is Shivani’s rant satire or for real?

Will you dare to take this advice?
