As an FYI, the postcard is from when I went to a Giants game – it was a free giveaway!
The text of the postcard is:
Dear Ellen,
Here’s another baseball fact for you:
Nolan Ryan threw the most no-hitters, physically. But emotionally, it was Barbra Streisand.
Don’t believe me? Just ask Santa Claus.
Sincerely,
One of the best knowers of fake news,
With long goodbye messages,
GetBradStanleyPublished.com
(please?)
It feels cheesy writing postcards asking/pleading/whatever-ing for help from a person I don’t know. Really it’s awkward asking a favor of anyone. But (and this is to console myself) – I’m sure people have helped me in the past without my asking for it, and people will again in the future. I enjoy being able to help people when I can (most of the time) and so … well, like I said … this paragraph is to console myself. Rambling makes me feel less like a cheese-ball?

This idea has been in my head for a long while. I like the idea – so of course I was never happy with any approach I tried. But doing this has stayed on my to-do list and I finally decided to just go for it.
From day one of the blog a ‘joke’ I’ve had is the hope that an intern of Ellen’s will discover my blog, and convince Ellen to give it a chance. Then, because she’s super kind, she’ll give me a chance and introduce me to a literary agent (it worked for this 9 year old who’s more socially suave than I am, so why not for me?).
Anyhow – it’s a lovely thought to have that this will all work out in the end. And I can’t delude myself without feeding my delusions with new nonsense on the blog.
