the best advice about addiction and love, ever

Mistress Matisse and Candy hit that one out of the park. It fits so many relationships I've witnessed. (Not been a part of, thank you gods of attraction.)

    Heh, when I saw "Candy," I assumed you were talking about me, and when I read the thing, I realized you weren't, though I wasn't sure which Candy you were referring to in the linked articlew....

    Never mind, just read the comments, and am now aware of which Candy you're referring to.

    Heh.

    I thought it was SBTB's Candy too.

    And thanks for sending me back to Mistress Matisse's blog--I used to read it, then the computer crashed and lost all my links. Feh.

    Great shout-out, Kate. I'm glad you sent me there.

    (Plus, any excuse to visit Mistress Matisse . . . and will you PLEASE tell my wife it's NOT adultery if I go to a dominatrix? Karen has very definited notions about this!)

    I dunno, Doug, is it adultery? That's an interesting question, especially in the context of the original post to which Kate refers.

    Is it adultery? Hmm...

    it was Miss K. Candy commented but Miss K was the expert.

    I guess in my brain "Candy" is the name of a wise woman. ; )

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.

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.
