Depressing events for writers

Can anyone believe how unbelievably popular Miley Cyrus tickets are?

It’s almost weird. And it reminds me of the time my writer-pal Dennis became a huge “I hate Britney Spears” guy.

Dennis is a solid writer of mystery novels, but in his 40s he still has yet to be published. That sucks.

But a few years ago, he really took it personally when the “hot-like-Miley-Cyrus” Britney Spears was featured in the Sunday paper for her big new BOOK deal.

“I’m over 40,” Dennis complained, “and been working at this all my life, and BRITNEY SPEARS gets a book deal, and not me?”

It nearly drove him to quit.

But, like real writers - and unlike Britney or Miley - he couldn’t quit.

Real writers never can.
