today's reader questions

Inspired by Bam and Dick Cheney.
Bam really does take car naps at work. Wouldn't you worry about people tapping on the window and scaring the piss out of you?

That's not one of the questions. Here they are:
Do you take naps at work?
Where do you manage that?

    I work at home, and yes, I take naps at work.

    But when I worked in an office, I had a DOOR, and I used to shut the door and snooze.

    I forgot about this...for a short time I worked in a big company, I used to sleep in the corner behind a filing cabinet in the store room.

    Now I go face down on my desk and no one but the dog notices.

    Hey, Megan, no comments on Regencies???

    When I was an undergrad, I used to sleep at Bechtel Center (Berkeley) cuz they had lots and lots of sofas. Chronically sleep-deprived, especially at the dorms. In residency, I'd grab post-call catnaps in one of our attendings' offices since he never used it.

    Nowadays, thank God, I'm rarely tired enough to need the nap.

    I'm a stay at home mom, so you'd think I'd get lots of naps [or that I wouldn't need them]. Unfortunately, the kids never sleep during the day, and they think it's great fun to see what they can get into [or destroy] if I'm not fully conscious in the next room.

    So the naps are rare, but they do let me sleep late sometimes, and the other day they actually cleaned up the bathroom after they had a water party in it. The laundry hamper was full of soaking wet towels, but the fact they actually cleaned up after themselves almost brought tears to my eyes!

    I couldn't even bring myself to get onto them for having the mini-pool party in the first place.

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.
