SOTU? Will you watch?

I may force myself to watch the president at 9 pm. The good news is that it's on after bedtime for my bonzo #3 so I can play:

1. This drinking game

2. or maybe the Delay version of the drinking game.

(games mentioned on www.mydd.com)

I know there's a pool somewhere online for how many seconds into the speech the words 9/11 will be uttered. Right, found it here. Heh. Funny.

I wonder if there's one about how many times the phrase will be mentioned. Or how many times the word "terrorist" will be used.

If anyone knows any Democratic Rebuttal games, feel free to post them. I expect to be toasted, disgusted and/or bored by then. (note: if there isn't a Rebuttal Game, and you devise one, I don't think the words "Abramoff" or "scandal" uttered by any Democrat should rate a full glass of anything. You'd chug the whole bottle of whatever's in front of you within a couple of minutes.)

    We're boycotting. We'll find out what we need to know from the Daily Show tomorrow.

    BTW, my wife's reading your bodice-ripper. My son had a good laugh over, "His tongue traced her lips."

    I know, I know, you are not writing for an audience of 10-year-old boys.

    Or so you thought.

    I lasted through two standing ovations. I scared the dog when I screamed at the tv.

    I had to hide my author's copies of my books. My kids kept trying to read them. They usually make pukey sounds when they see romances (some of those covers--who can blame them).

    So which of my bodice rippers did you get? And how is Karen doing? Does she need a list of good books? I swear I read all genres.

    I boycotted the SOTU also. Managed to vaccum the house though. Hey, do you think we can get him to schedule more of these? Then my house would be all sparkly :)

    And my 11 yr old daughter just discovered my collection of romance novels. Erm. Yeah. Maybe a touch young?

    It's never too young for a girl to learn she will soon become drenched with passion, her nipples hard little buttons, yatta yatta yatta.

    Somebody Wonderful, Kate.

    I so didn't watch. Blech.

    Sorry - wish I could be more articulate, but we are talking about George Dubya Bush.

    Blech.

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
