snarling

Usually this happens with weather. "Warm enough for ya?"

Today's issue? Just guess. No really, go ahead. It won't be hard.
First person asks me.
My response: Yeah! Sure did! I voted. YAY!
Second online nagging
me: Yes! I did it.
Third nudge: Okay, yes. I did.
Fourth: Yeah.
Fifth: [shrug]
Sixth: It's not really your business.
Seventh: Fuck off.

Ready to be done. Ready to think about something, anything, other than this election. I didn't even get a sticker so I can't get my coffee or ice cream. Although now it looks like Starbucks is in trouble with that. Go on, all you slackers. You can get your free coffee too.

    I'm so freaking sick of election stuff that I've completely quit listening to the radio, haven't watched network TV in over a month, and I've even deleted a couple of Twitter contacts that can't seem to talk about anything but politics.

    Enough already.

    So yeah, response #7 seems appropriate at this point.

    Thank you. I feel less alone with my insane crabbiness, which has resulted in me snapping at at least two people already this morning.

    Someone texted me to vote, today. I don't know which number it was.

    (I send in an absentee ballot)

    Yes I voted, I'm proud of it, I voted Obama, and today I'm wearing a HUGE grin.

    I didn't get no stinkin' sticker. My husband did though. He was going to ask for about five extra and plaster them all over his shirt then tell his co-workers that he had just a few more stops to make to collect some more. Hilarious voting humor.

    Ok, he's president. Now I'm worried about where I left my cell phone.

    OMG! My v-word is snakeyso

    After about the fifty-seventh Twitter/ blog post/ other reminder I started wanting to shout that hello, I couldn't vote, what with being ENGLISH.
    Which would have been disagreeable--after all, I assume the reminders weren't actually aimed at me.

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.
