boy two would like to point out that sometimes
he calls me Marge. (What I'm called came up in another post) And he can fence, almost, so do NOT cross that boy. He has an epeeeeee of his own.
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.
Marge? Is that even your name?
ReplyDeletemy first name is Margaret(only sales people use it). The boy was going through a monty python routine "I don't like being called eddie baby" and I drew the line at Marge which, of course, is now my name.
ReplyDeleteHeh. that link has Czech subtitles.
Hey, I love your soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is the funniest skit. Loved it. I never watched Monty when he was popular because TV and I are not friends. Margaret, who would a thunk. I've decided to change my name to Wichita. Can't stand the real one any more. I think I'm going to do it legally too. Soon. Wichita Baby.
