Comments on: Whoring for fun and profit http://www.unreliablewitness.com/2007/01/05/whoring-for-fun-and-profit/ Frequently pretentious since 1971. Clearly ambiguous since 2000. Completely and utterly incomprehensible since 2006. Warning: may contain synonyms.

I don't think there's anything wrong in asking people to nominate you, vote for you, etc. But you know that if you don't get shortlisted or win anything that this means NOTHING about your writing talent, right? Because it really doesn't. You are a good writer. End of. I thought the Jesus entry was fucking ace.

Art for profit, okay; we all need to eat dry toast and heat our cramped garretts. But art for purely competitive purposes, for the satisfaction of having attracted more click-happy readers than the other guy? Personally, I worry that I've sold out if I get more than three hits a day from readers not searching for wildebeest sex (for which I currently rank #4 on Google). But it's you. So of course I'll do it. It was Best Latin American Weblog Award you were after, wasn't it? Now, wipe away those tears of shame, pull yourself together and set about training those squirrels.
