My words of sympathy were devoured. Such is life.

He lacks entirely your suave panache and joie de vivre. A third-rate imitation, easily discarded.

I just realized last night that this is more important than I initially thought: if he gets a novel published or a screenplay produced before I do, I'm doomed to a life of being credited as "Martin P. Marks" or something. I like my name's meter, dammit. He's got at least a six month headstart, and he's got the writing degrees. But he also has a much sillier middle initial. And dumb glasses. And nobody comments on his pretentious-assed blog. I think I can do this.

That's the spirit!

Meribah Knight has so far failed to eclipse me after her early success, so I wouldn't let this throw you off your game.

Don't worry, it's probably a pseudonym. People who wear those glasses and like vintage Jaguars are the sorts of people who conjure up alliterative pen names for themselves.

Wow. Sure you weren't separated at birth?
