BOOK KILL


Saw a dead dog on the highway…
Which made me think of agents.
Oh, wait…
That doesn’t sound good…
Actually, seeing the dog got me thinking…
That even though there are deer here in Mexico…
I’ve never seen a dead one on the highway.
I guess they don’t go running out in front of cars…
Like they do back in the States...
They stay in their own habitat...
Because the jaguars and pumas...
Keep their population in check...
And that’s what got me thinking about agents…
And publishing houses too..
You see….
Just like big cats...
Agents and editors keep mediocre…
Or worse—the real stinker books in check.
Well, they used to…
Now anyone can print anything.
Is that a good thing?
Is an over population of books…
As bad as an over population of deer?
Is keeping the book herd thin best?
Oh, hell…
I don’t know.
It was a bad night tossing and turning.
Before I fell asleep last night…
I had asked my muse…
To come up with a post for my blog today…
And this is what she came up with…
Maybe I need a big cat…
To keep my stinker blogs in check.

Always, Em-Musing
