What we let slip to other writers


Yes, well, one should not let it slip in idle chatter - to another writer for instance who may or may not be married to a literary agent - that in one's phone call to a third party, who may be a literary agent, that one thought he could detect the hint of a five-martini, half-pack of Paul Mall lunch in one's first conversation with that agent, wherein said agent accepted to take on one's project.
This is one extreme example of what not to say to another writer, who also happens to perhaps maybe, or not, have a filial or marital relationship with a literary agent.
We must remember everything gets round eventually.
