The house in Salem I love (which is still up for sale, and the realtor just emailed me to tell me the price has been reduced)

Buy it, buy it! Clearly they want you to have it

Hee! Brenda said just what I was thinking.

I always have to outline in advance, because my publisher does cover copy waaaay in advance,

AmyLiz, what kind of fiction do you write??

Lilian is a nice name, but it really just doesn't have the regalness and rolling-off-the-tongue-ness of Princess Tickybox.

I am jealous of all you Bitches who gain cupsizes when you gain weight. I just get bigger hips.

Cursed perky titted girls.

Do you still curse us if they're tiny? Or only if they're big AND perky?

I am not impressed by the kink test. I mean, for one thing, GAY SEX was on there. Having gay sex does not make me kinky, it makes me GAY.

In all seriousness?

There is not enough wrod in the world for this statement.

Jilli, massive ~ma for your friend's husband.

So the Buffy reference is gone, my editor rewrote half my story right in front of me, and it won't run until next week because I need to interview some stupid doctor who will say the things I already looked up in the literature. And I haven't eaten dinner. Journalism sucks.

TRUDY!!!!

Did you see ita's Pussy-mobile link earlier? I can't fid it now but it was

actually a Hello Kitty racecar

!!!!

Much ~ma to Jilli's friend's husband.

I need to take the kink test apparently. Hmm.

meara, I write romance with a side of mystery (not woman-in-danger suspense, traditional "Oops! Dead body -- let's solve the crime") and a healthy dollop of porn steamy sex, because right now I'm writing for an erotic romance line (which some folks like to call romantica). But I used to write YA.

P-C, that sucks mightily. Eat something yummy for dinner.

A Hello Kitty racecar? t swooooons

P-C, you are now me, last week. Look out.

it won't run until next week because I need to interview some stupid doctor who will say the things I already looked up in the literature.

This is the thing that drives me crazy about journalists. They call you up and want to talk about some topic. You direct them to a great paper written by the biggest expert on the topic, and they say "No, I need to talk to someone. It's ok if you don't know that much about it. Just give me something to quote." It seems so strange that journalists, of all people, should fail to grasp the value of the written word as a source of information.

You are a major league kinkster!

Huh. And yet, no orgies or dungeons.

I know, we do, babe. but we have bosses that tell us things like we need to have someone ACTUALLY TELL US that "Washing your hands frequently is good for your health," to use an example from my student days, like we need somebody to confirm or deny such things.
