“I used to work for a law firm in the Rialto. In fact the law firm that I worked for was on a higher floor than Nam Le’s. So why haven’t I published a subtle, perceptive and critically acclaimed collection of short stories? Why aren’t I uniquely talented and motivated?? Sigh.”

Hahahahaha! Well, this asshole also wrote his honours thesis in rhyming couplets or something.

I heard a story about MJ Hyland, who also used to work as a lawyer — she used to pretend she wasn’t writing instead of working all the time.
