thank you

For once it really wasn't a "tell me how much you lurve me" moment, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the notes. They're lovely. Thank you.

It is a matter of embraaaaaaaaaacing life more and that means getting off the computer more often. All the angst and worry and panic--I'm talking horrible symptoms--and I think they all add up to Turn off the computer and go look at actual members of your own species. Or maybe some other monkeys.

    Chica, I totally hear you.
    So stop blogging five times a day, and just post every three or four days, like lazy moi.
    :-D
    But I know what you mean about gettingalife.
    I'm lucky in that all summer long, two months, I'm away from the computer. So during the winter, when I'm like, supposed to hibernate or something, I blog.
    It's better than hibernating.
    When the weather gets warm, then I get a life.

    Yeah, sometimes you do need to step away from the computer. Although not before posting cake recipes, right? Right?

    Cousin Brian wants to know if there's anything about his cousins in the blog. He wants a cinnamon bun now. I like reading your blog, especially all your smart funny real stuff. And the leads to great sights like the one that plugged in a word into advertising jingles. I plugged in Mesopotamia. I did it for a long time instead of working. I need your email because I need to talk with you about summer plans. I could get it from Uncle A, but he's working on a song. I agree with the person before me. Maybe write less often, but I would miss it if you stopped. Brian says tell the cousins to refer to orange peels as plems. He doesn't say why. I haven't signed up on google and kind of internet unsavvy, though good at research.. so no good picture or name

    Your sister in law.

    I just spilled coffee on your rug and I'm letting the dog sleep on the good sofa. You better come back.

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.
