Planning for success


Overheard at the other end of the bar:

Writer One: We're having a big meeting on publicity and the launch for my new book next week.

Writer Two: Why bother? Publishers really have only two plans: A) Throw the book out there and hope it sells, B) Wonder why the hell they bought this book in the first place.

Writer One (taking a long hit from her drink): Maybe I'll get a good lunch out of it.
