Cuttings

I shortened the mission statement at Round Bend Press Books.

Realizing the brilliance of my own rhetoric might dissuade honest bibliophiles, I took the blade to the thing, cut it until it bled.

Here's the sorry fact.  All salesmanship is seeded from bullshit. Commercial writing--whether it be a novel filled with stale crap or an advertisement produced by a great ad man--is useless.

It hurts having to destroy your own masterpieces--ask any dead writer.
