a couple of random pictures
A shorter person's view of the dog. copyright JGand an old picture of Boy2 who's been gone for a couple of days, so we miss him. He is showing us his front curl, the most excellent one.
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.
Wait, where is Boy 2? A couple of months?
ReplyDeleteGone for a couple of DAYS! Not months. But the house is strangely silent without him. It's that first boy who's going for (sob, snivel) months and months.
ReplyDeleteHow're you?
Oh look at that, it does say days. I'm doing well! New roommates just moving in this month, so my apartment is in a bit of chaos and upheaval.
