Over at Salon, John R. Barry has come clean: “My baby is too boring to blog about” is the self-explanatory title of his story, posted today.
Well. I’ve never met your baby, Mr. Barry, but don’t you think that this is more about you than about him? You’re a writer, man. Write something! And then whore yourself out shamelessly and indiscriminately to promote it! It’s the Internet way. Works great for us over here. Take your kid to a bar while you’re at it.
If you can’t come up with an angle to write about than maybe blogging isn’t the right place for you. Or so some might say.
