Aahh, so much to relate to here.
Seeing the attention that the media lavishes on those 20-somethings who DO carve out a name for themselves before 30, who wouldn't want to achieve the same? So as for young writers having a sense of entitlement, I totally get it, and I too, suffer from it. Though at 28, I guess the clock is ticking on that one.
It's also sad about this business of dismissing writers as "trade" or "webby." Doesn't anyone value versatility anymore? This is probably why the bulk of consumer mags aren't worth reading these days: because the staff are all writing from the same nepotistic and Ivy-League educated point of view.
Yes, I am bitter. Because I've seen good writers get passed over for the hacky ones simply because they didn't know the right people.
