If I knew how to do a screen save


I'd take a picture of the fact that MY blog showed up on USAtoday, thanks to Jane at DearAuthors.

I wrote "MY name showed up on USAtoday," but um, no, that's not really true because my name is misspelled. Hurry! Look! Before it goes away! (It was on the first page for an hour or so.) I am so impressed with myself.

update: And I'm impressed with how many people know how to do a screenshot.
Thanks, CD and Amie.
The question on my mind: does the 15 min of fame rule count if they spell your name wrong? I think you're allowed overtime play for that.

    I am very impressed, too! And you can google 'screen save' to figure out how to save on a PC. I did it on an Apple, it's easy as pie.

    Amie--I didn't but that's not surprising. I've changed email providers lately and the service is spotty at best.

    Sigh. Thank you for the offer!!!!!!

    Corn Dog sent me a picture and I'll load it someday soon.

    It's good thing that USA Today doesn't care about spelling errors because my posts would only pass muster 50% of the time. And why didn't you tell me?

    I was too budy being impressed by your connection to Big Time News to fret over an extra E.

    And I thought I was the world's freakin' worst speller. Guess not. Guess my title has been snatched by the editors at USA Today. Does that mean I could get a job there in the spelling depertmant?

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.
