Annonymous: Fortunately I’ve never had to write jacket copy. But I can imagine its suckage.

Marrije: Oh lord yes. Proposals. Gag. Ack. And you’ve reminded me of the thing that I hate to write more than any other thing in the entire universe . . . grant applications! Aaarrggh!!!!

don’t forget artist statements. the only thing worse than writing them is reading them.

I’ve never written an artist statement, but I sure have had the misfortune of attempting to read some of them. Must be one of the great eye-glazing genres of all time.
