choice time

I blogged over at romance unleashed. I like the other writer's essay better--I've been stuck in crank mode for a while now.

A happy woman jumping up and down at the gym yesterday was on about how we "choose our moods." I think soon I'll "choose to stop being a pill."

Of course I have no idea what I'll choose instead. Aggressive go-getter? Meek ray of sunshine? Thoughtful philosopher?

What persona should I wear tomorrow? I think I'll aim for Of Course I'm a Very Popular Author, You Silly** for Sunday. I'm part of a group book-signing then, unless I choose the currently popular sick as a dog mode.

    Meek Ray of Sunshine?
    Kate, I don't even know you, yet somehow this one struck me as funny as all get-out!! :)

    Go with "Very Popular Author & Writer of Deliciously Naughty Sex Despite One Cranky Critic"
    Then, go bop the happy 'choose your mood' woman on the nose for me.

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.
