Yeah.

You know what irritates the hell out of me? Her overnight rocket to the top of people's consciousness. When all she was was a teenage woke scold.

I tried for years to be an author. Am I a great writer? Well, I think I'm pretty good. Not the best. But better than a lot. How much attention did my books get? Not much. Maybe because I'm not much of a sale person. Or I didn't know the right people.

But man... one reason is I don't write progressive shit. If the themes of my book touched the right Prog nerve to institute their vision of evil, I probably would have rocketed to the top ten list over night.
