   Seeing this reminds me how douchey some people can be. It’s no wonder publishing still drags around the ivory tower imagery.

   #18 – “Brilliant – 25 years ahead of it’s time – NO” Why would you not want to publish the next thing? You want yesterday’s thing? Yesterday’s thing was aversion to ebooks, look where that got you.

   #5 – “Too brilliant – NO” Go fuck yourself.

   Funny the Lish, bumping from 21 to 7 … important enough to cause renumeration. Be curious to know what crossed out part said. 

   Also “Keeper of the Ghosts”?!

   Yeah, that subtitle is interesting. I wonder who decided to scrap it?

   Am I the only person that thought this would be some sort of list by Wittgenstein rejecting possible mistresses? And was disappointed when it was not?

    […] while back, I published an index for Wittgenstein’s Mistress. Blake’s recent post about WM got me thinking that I should repost it here. Please feel free to copy/distribute […]
