Just before Christmas I had an interesting conversation with a couple of friends we rarely see. He's some kind of high ranking sales executive (I don't know what he sells, exactly, but he's awesome at bullshitting) and she's a PR rep for a whisky company -- so they're both quite good at making money. They were asking me about my writing -- why do I not market it more, why do I not produce more, why am I not more aggressively selling myself? She posed this question: If you were offered an advance of $100,000, would you write a book of 100 poems?
She was quite serious, and quite prepared to take on marketing. So, what did I answer, and why?

It could be worse
