essay about anti-gay marriage amendment
Andrew Tobias wrote it. You should read it.
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.
That was an excellent read. Thank you for posting it.
ReplyDeleteGood essay. I also want to legalize pot - but I may have to wait a while for that.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Excellent post! I know you often mention trying to be less political on your blog, but I hope you don't. I love reading the stuff you find.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sam, I absolutely agree. Let's legalize pot and concentrate on taking the drugs which are actually DANGEROUS off the streets. But whadda I know?
