SFSignal recently invited me to take part in another Mind Meld with them, this time considering the question of what the hardest part of being a writer is. You can read my response as well as everyone else’s here:

Personally, I think the hardest part really is having to wear pants all the time. So binding when you’re sitting at a desk all day. But court orders are court orders.
You know, before I read the second graf I thought to myself “I bet he’s going to mention wearing pants…”
Second place clearly has to be staying sober all day long…
Who said writers had to stay sober at all? Hemingway and Philip K. Dick stand as proof that sobriety is optional.
And speaking of pants, there’s an Adfreak article you should read, Jeff: http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2009/02/carnival-dreams-of-a-better-pantsless-world.html
Damaso,
Am I getting predictable? Can’t have that. From now on, pants are on, and DIGNITY is off. So there.

DK,
Everyone steals from me. Without me, advertising would have no ideas. BASTERDS.
