Are you a new author? Have you written to every single publisher and agent on Earth and you get the feeling that no one is listening? No one is reading your work? Unless you are a celebrity, you’re probably right. Publishers and agents today are like contingency lawyers. If the case isn’t a slam-dunk, they refuse it. They don’t want to have to work. When the year you paid for is over, we will not automatically tap your credit card. We will ASK you to renew, so you won't get any unwelcome surprises. If you have a manuscript laying around in your computer, post it today. Give us a chance to Showcase your work. Invitation: Please feel encouraged to write and send us your war and horror stories about submitting to abusive publishers and agents. We will post all of them, unchanged. (Clean language please. This is a family Palabra Mill.) Robert G. Makin |

At Starving-Writers.com we don't keep track of visitors. You can come and go as you please in total anonymity. On the other hand, our advertisers send out cookies and follow everybody everywhere so that they can determine the most seductive advertising to stick under your nose. I have not addressed the ethics or morality of such nibbyness, although I have known about it. If you click on a Google ad, they will slip you a cooky. If you visit sports pages, they will then stick sports stuff out for you to see. If you visit religious pages, it will be religious stuff. Yeah. It's 1984, 25 years late. Google wants me to tell everybody what they are doing under what they want me to call our "Privacy Policy." This sounds like typical political jargon. They are calling this a "privacy policy" when they really mean the "Lack of Privacy Policy." So let's all go to Washington D.C. and shake our fists? If you want to learn more about Google's Lack of Privacy Policy, here are some links. Sorry for the hassle. If you want to be private, don't click on their links. If nobody clicks on their links, we won't be paid and their links will all go away. For the most part, these inserts that vary every few minutes, controlled by Google, are not there anyway, so it won't make much difference. RGM Drey Shepperd and Barry Manilow pointed out, “we dreamers have our ways of facing rainy days, but somehow we survive.” Walt Disney’s widow reportedly visited Disney World in Florida with some friends just after it opened. Walt died some time before. One of Mrs. Disney’s companions remarked, “It’s too bad Walt didn’t get to see this.” Mrs. Disney replied, “Oh, but he did see it. That’s why it’s here.” So. Does existence precede essence or does essence precede existence? Which ever is true, it has been my experience that nothing has ever happened to me that someone didn’t think of first, usually me. Walt Disney had the fantastic ability to manifest his dreams. The Magic Kingdom, before it existed was a glimmer in its father’s eye, a spark of excitement in the heart of the child who still lived inside Walt Disney. Everyone has a child living deep down inside, the child that we all used to be. Some of us stifle the dreams of that child, telling it that its dreams are impossible. Others get branded as childish dreamers. I learned recently that nearly all “great” scientists made their “greatest” discoveries as very young men. That is to say they made their discoveries before they were taught all the things that are impossible. Einstein was under thirty when he developed his Theory of Relativity. He was too young to know that e=mc2 was impossible. He still believed in his dreams. The TRUTH?? The TRUTH is the whole world is a Magic Kingdom. Believe in your dreams and they will believe in you. Never give up. Never lose the faith you had in yourself as a YOUNG DREAMER. Never. And you will make it through the rain. Honest. RGM
