Column #29 actually has an interesting story. For SOME reason, something happened that prompted me to write a VERY angry, pissy column. The next day, I thought better of it and wrote a completely different column. I kept the original one though, just in case… for whatever reason… I needed it. SO now, HERE, for the first time… you can read it!
WARNING: I don’t remember why I wrote it and it’s pretty harsh. I’m only posting it here for shits and giggles. and THAT’S how it should be taken!

Breakin' In! 
Just read the newly-released #29 (“Don’t make me angry…”) and loved it. But parts of it seemed familiar… did you perhaps eventually publish a toned-down version of it (or parts of it) in a later column? Favorite part:
“Don’t write what you think the market needs…” through “YOU’RE the arrogant one for thinking that you have the winning formula when you don’t.”
I also read the #29 originally published (“Crazy vs. Crazy”) and I definitely remember reading that back when it was first released. And my favorite part remains:
“It’s calling the interns at the office, from your home, to ask them to call your assistant who is AT your fucking house, to tell him to have an intern call your driver (who’s AT the fucking house) and tell him that he wants to talk to him.”
Gotta love it!
Looking forward to revisting more of these pearls of wisdom (and making sure I didn’t miss any) once I finish the current draft of my latest screenplay.
(By the way, IMHO not only have you not brought down the quality of Marvin’s newsletter, you have dramatically increased it.)
