The recession has caused many thousands of people to–through no fault of their own–completely lose their jobs and be left unable to pay their bills; let alone feed their families.

Yet you have the gull whine about no longer getting a free lunch at some fancy New York restaurant?

Your attitude is the real problem. Pay for your own damn lunch.

Though writing is often thought of as a solitary craft, it is actually very people oriented as a team of support together assembles that coveted book, from the initial idea to the finished product. Dialogue seems such an important part of the process, from start to finish.

What was the point of sending me all edits in PDFs (great!) by email and then following them up with a hard copy by FedEx that I didn't get until after my deadline "just so I'd have it."

My only guess as to why they're slashing lunch is because the see the guillotine dangling over thier heads and they've decided to keep up the beatings until morale improves.
