The best of 1900
Dear Publisher,
Please consider the following 1,900 essays for publication. Yes I know you cannot publish 1,900 essays. Even if they're short it would still take 1,900 pages easy, and that is too long for a book.
So here's what you do:
Read the first essay. If it's not to your taste just skip right on ahead to essay number two! Keep track as you go! By this method progress along the 1,900, skipping anything that doesn't quite suit you.
Ha! Well done! Congratulations on going through all 1,900 of my essays! It only took you, let's see, 18 minutes. Publish whatever that was that you actually read and we'll have pure gold!
You might want to use a largish font.
My agent will contact you, just as soon as I can find one.
Yours truly,
F. Calypso

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
