Honest. It just popped into my head...

I was thinking about the post I wrote last month (http://www.sfnovelists.com/2007/11/27/david-vs-goliath/), and the interesting discussion that erupted in the comments, and realized -- too late, of course -- that there might be a decent analogy for ‘breaking into the writing business.’

It’s akin to breaking into professional baseball.

( Cut for your sanity. I mean, do you really want to read a long and essentially pointless baseball analogy in late December? )
