Tales of Evanier

When my pal Mark Evanier has a piece on his website that falls under the heading of "Tales of..." it generally something you should put aside some time to read.  Today he has a "Tales of Something or Other" that doesn't exactly fit under his normal umbrellas, but it's a particular gem.

It's a wonderful article about life as a writer in Hollywood, and is pointed, gnawing and funny (most particularly a passage when he describes a couple of producers asking him what they think he, as a possible story editor for their show, can do with the already-shot footage they show him.  But mostly, it has a twist ending worthy of an O'Henry short story.  You can read the thing here.
