The SF Chronicle’s Mark Morford had some deep and good words on Ms. Viswanathan, and the Incident that got me thinking. Indulge me to underscore one tiny idea of his: my success does not depend on someone else’s failure.
Just a tiny thought, world.
I’m done with this story, which has by turns depressed and disgusted me. I wish this girl the best – a new start somewhere else, not having to prove anything to anyone but herself. May the next big Incident in the writing world be a story of someone doing so well that we are inspired to greater heights ourselves.
