The wilds of Vermont

. . . are tame.

I mean look, I'm stealing wi-fi from some unsuspecting neighbor.

I think it's because we're too close to NYC. Last month we went further northeast and it was easy to escape our Fellow Man and commune with cows. No motorcycles right outside the door.

Probably we'll head to Maine next time...because as much as I whine about having to go on vacation (and shitallmighty, I do whine) I'd rather be somewhere a little less inhabited after all. Unless we're talking a NYC vacation.
What I want:
Cities=people.
Lakes=us and an occasional loon.
Ocean=waves. Otherwise I'm not picky. I love the ocean best. Not too much traffic though, thanks.

Since this isn't the usual sort of vacation, the guys are downstairs watching some Bourne movie. Cable and DVD at a lake? Pfah.

Wait, next time, what I really want is to stay home with the dog, dammit.

I spent a while blog hopping just now and am amazed to there are still embers from the last big bloffle. Time to go vacation, dudes. Don't check to see if there's any wi-fi. There probably will be and that's not why we leave home.

    Cable and TV at a lake? Them there's not the same sort of lake vacations we had when *I* was a kid. We couldn't even get radio reception unless we were hanging off the porch holding the radio out under the eaves.

    And even then, the only thing we could pull up was Casey Kasem's Top 40.

    Have a great time. Enjoy the loons. I love loons.

    Stealing Wi-Fi sounds fun. I like that word "boffle" too and "loon."

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.
