My bitterness knows no bounds
by David Steven | Dec 15, 2009
Finally, the Evening Standard says what needs to be said:
By and large, bloggers remain writers who have not been able to find more rewarding outlets for their work and are therefore pre-packed with resentment, whatever subject they address.
How true this is! Writing for Global Dashboard will never be enough. I lie awake at night, green with envy, brooding over those privileged to pen their thoughts for a newspaper given away free to tired commuters on their way home from work.
The pain of exclusion – it really is too much to bear.
