whinging and what a dull topic

I did it yesterday at RU about rain. Goes double today. There's some earnest rain at the moment--none of this piddling meh drizzle.

What's the weather like where you are? And don't tell me You're One of Those People who hardly notices the weather and it never affects your temperament. I'll snarl and rip your head off. Unless you live in southern California where there is no weather to notice, and where I couldn't reach you anyway.

mike is in kitchen making pancakes. He just shouted out the door oh for crying out loud, stop, STOP.

    Whine!!
    It's been hot.
    I have no AC.
    The kids are home from school.
    Sob.

    And my garbage smells sour too--I keep cleaning the can, but now the whole kitchen is smelling seaty and rank.

    And it's hot.

    okay so we have one kvetching about the rain, two sighing about heat.

    All we need is someone checking in from the southern hemisphere about the cold and maybe a smirking west coast USAer talking about perfect temperatures and we'll have a straight, or a full house or some kind of weather hand.

    Cold here, but not much rain really... so we are halfway to a straight or full house! Understandable that it is cold though! It is winter after all!

    Well, I'm a West Coaster, and the weather here is usually cool in the morning, followed by a sunny mid-70s throughout most of the year. But I _swear_ the weather has been no fun.

    Roasting out here. At least 71, 72. And the sun! Last week, I went to the beach with the boy and forgot to bring a hat, and damn. Damn.

    This is late, but it was in the 50s in Scotland, and rain, excuse me, mist, every day. We did see a rainbow once.

    Drink some Scotch; the weather is much better then.

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.
