...i'm with you. it's totally depressing. <br /><br />just yesterday i saw a resume from someone who had this huge list of creative writing credits on a press i'd never heard of. turns out it was his own press. but i had to, like, research to find that out. <br /><br />the internet is stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
