Oh, very clever! Thanks for posting this. Made me chuckle...
ReplyDeleteThat guy wasn't nearly ambitious enough. Clearly, he shouldn't be accepting anything under seven figures for his level of genius.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI wrote this video, and I am so thrilled you posted it on your blog here. Really glad you liked it.
Thanks,

Hi David:
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind! Another publishing contact put it on Facebook and I thought it hilarious. Nice job!
Give Ann my regards.
Best,
Andy
Andy,
ReplyDeleteI certainly don't mind at all! People posting the video like this was what made it go viral, and it ultimately put me in contact with Ann. I'm extremely appreciative of all those who were kind enough to re-post it...
There's no doubt that this little video changed the course of my writing career.
Thanks,
David
