I recently attended the AWP Conference in Chicago where 10,000 writers, educators, and graduate and undergraduate creative writing students met. With all the panels, the chance meetings in the hallways and lobby bars, the massive Bookfair, the readings, the awards, and the parties, the air crackled...

It was fun trying to outguess Steve Jobs when a new Apple product was imminent. Most of the time we were bumfuzzled by these new products, wondering how in the world we were to make use of them, how Apple would manage tomarket and sell them.

Ordinarily, I'm all for Apple's latest OS evolutionary steps, and I understand their direction is headed toward iOS 5 - the latest software for iPod Touch, iPhone, etc. And I have absolutely no problem with buying the new OS exclusively as a download. Too, I really didn't mind buying new...

I thought this was genius, but I was wrong.
Late last night, I had an epiphany. While many waste away their hours sleeping, I was hard at work creating some unheralded genius. This will, in very little time, make me millions of pounds. I will try to continue to be friendly with some of you,...
