    It's hard out here for a pimp, ain't it?

    Okay, Selah, I owe you thanks. At long last I get the reason I'm rotten in pimping. I need to work on some image stuff ASAP. We're talking Pimp Disaster Zone:

    I drive a silver Honda Civic (motto: we won't stop making these until everyone in suburbia owns one)

    My only hat is a Bosnian knit cap.

    My fanciest footwear is a pair of beat-up, second-hand timberland boots.
    OBVIOUSLY

    I need to work on the bad-ass issue, pronto. Where'd you get that hat and that attitude, anyway?

    sigh.

    The Glamor I'ma not so sure about, although I'll bet there's a pimp hat or two wandering about. The 'tude I've been told I have in abundance. Over, even. *g*

    Feel free to filch at will.

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.   ...

My Writing Day with an Unproductive Brain

My coworkers hear it all the time  and are profoundly uninterested me:  Okay, this isn't going to work. I have these characters drinking tea again. They need to do something else immediately. These words are chopped. Two hundred gone. And let's see, the confrontation is coming up soon. Any suggestions? also me:   Oh. My. God. Why bother? No one reads your books. No one thinks they're anything more than adequate. You can't seem to change your style to fit what people want. You're old news. OLD. NEWS. Stale old voice. There's no point in writing yet another book that no one will wants-- me: How about if they finally talk instead of just hinting around? Yeah, and maybe that guy will say what's been on his mind since chapter two. also me: Jesus. So boring. Talk, talk, talk. You know that your-- me: How about if they-- also me: --you know your books are worthless because people want conflict and angst. They don't want to read another book wit...
