There was someone on the O-Board (I believe) who mentioned they were charged with proofreading Billy's posts on Everything From Here To There, and that his predecessor (the guy who proofread all of Billy's blog posts on the old Web site) and the guy before him both quit the job in rage because of how pissy Corgan got at even the slightest edit. Apparently when they'd try to edit things like Billy using an ellipses instead of a period, or using some purposefully "artful" spelling of a common word (like spelling oranges "oranjes") he'd freak. The guy on the oboard said he eventually realized the best way to "edit" Billy's writing was to do nothing at all. So, no sane publishing company is going to release a book written in the style Corgan writes, and will probably completely overhaul his language before publishing it. If Billy hasn't already signed a contract saying they can do whatever they want to his book, he'll refuse to hand over a final copy and the book will never get released. If it does, I am willing to bet we'll hear all about how he is not happy with it. |

It's totally clear that Monte should be the editor

If Monte was editor, more would buy the book. The book cover should have a sticker that states "now with 50% more monte"

To put that in perspective, the English translation of War and Peace is around ~561,00 words. Even broken out into five volumes, godspeed on selling that one. Nothing is impossible in publishing these days, but that's one hell of a mountain to climb. |

The most interesting thing there to me is how he said that 90% of the bad things that happened in his life were his fault. It's definitely not like him to say something like that.
Half a million words is stupidly ridiculous, but this is the guy that fumbles with ancient wall-to-wall synthesisers for eight hours in his tea shop. It wouldn't just wouldn't be right if he didn't approach this by taking his self-indulgence to the nth degree. |
