Metaphorical Web and XRX

(Kurt Cagle) In October 12, 2003, I made a rather startling realization. I had, for a number of years, been producing one or two books a year in between consulting gigs, had been writing columns for news-stand publications and websites and my career as a writer and consultant was definitely seeming to look up, but I was also reaching a definite burn-out point, due to a lot of different personal factors - my personal life wasn't going well, the economy definitely had cratered in the tech sector, the jobs I was taking on were stultifying and frustrating, and I was angry. Contrary to popular opinion, anger is not in fact all that good for a writer - you write, but what you write usually falls into the kind of political diatribes favored by more radical members of fringe parties.
