The first time I was fired from a publishing job I was devastated. The second time, I was elated. When the first one happened, I felt like I'd been stripped of my identity, which was tied to my fancy titles of v-p, executive director of publicity. (It wasn't based on how much money I made, which was wise, because this was book publishing.) I also loved the prestige and respect that comes from making books happen, from working with authors. Publishing is an industry about which many outsiders are in awe. 'Oh, I'm just a lawyer, but you get to work with writers like Wally Lamb and Mary Karr. How lucky you are!' Like many people in publishing, I had a semi-secret desire to be a writer. However, working with writers won't make you a writer any more than drinking with plumbers will make you a plumber.
