    Oh, no worries. 🙂 Anyone watching both videos would be able to tell immediately that David didn’t rip you off, Joe. His pitch-perfect animation strikes a common chord with anyone who has ever had a friend decide one day that writing is easy–an altogether wider audience.

    Your animation certainly portrays a common trope told and retold amongst a pretty specific tribe of writers/agents, but just isn’t going to cause quite the same immediate sense of recognition in such a very wide-ranging audience. It’s more like an old in-joke, told between people who know that you sort of had to have been there to really get it.

  2. I love, love, love this video.

    Now I want to create a companion video: So you want to start a publishing company. (Why? Oh…no reason. None at all.)

  3. I stumbled upon this and laughed out loud! I agree with comments above about the last line being the best. Great stuff – I will not be discouraged 🙂

    With that said, I am new to the AW community and belong to another called BookRix… they have a free to enter contest on now through 1/17 called, brace yourself, “Get Published”. There is a very cool grand prize package offered by CreateSpace. If you are interested, you’ll find it under their “contest” tab on the front page.

    I am still plugging away on my still unfinished NaNo novel, which I am going to post a sample of on my AW profile.

    Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season!

    Cheers,
