snow fell

The crap car from above, with its upraised windshield wipers showing. And the crap car from the side during dig-out operations. All cars are now out of the snow. The roads are still nasty. The snow is still piled. Life is almost back to normal now.

We got anywhere from 24-30 inches depending on who you ask. Considering how ill-equipped we are for this much snow ("we" in this case being the state, the city, the people in this house) the clean-up is pretty good. Lots of whining continues, but the snow fell less than a week ago. A LOT OF SNOW FELL DOWN AND IS STILL ON THE GROUND. seems to be the big topic. Followed by WHY HAVEN'T YOU MADE IT ALL BETTER YET?

We're about bored with that topic, so I figured I better post something before it went away, because hey, it was a lot of snow. Even the big dog (75 lb) can't seem to make it over the drifts. The little dog doesn't have a chance.

Not sure what the next big subject will be. Here in the house it'll probably be HOW DO WE PUT THIS DAMN BED TOGETHER because we bought a bed for the youngest's birthday, but unless it gets comical, I'll spare you. It might get kind of funny because the one efficient member of the household fell off a ladder, hurting his arm. That leaves the rest of us to PUT THE DAMN BED TOGETHER. Oh boy! Hijinks might ensue if we're unlucky.

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.   ...
