'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Oops. Maybe I've been gossiped about, then. I've never commited any of those sins, though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm twitchy. Anxious. Not sure why. Don't really want to go anywhere.....just.....feeling weird.

MARIA - I want to marry your dress after Rio divorces it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Aims, whyfor the twitchy feeling?

You can marry the dress, but don't blame me if it asks for a prenup.

Not sure. I think I want to redecorate, but don't know what I want. Feeling restless......cramped. I don't like anything on me. Poor puppy thinks I hate him.

If the weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow (duh, it's LA), maybe you can take Emeline and head to the park. Wide open spaces, fresh air, and sunshine therapy.

But the only ways to be, like, blacklisted are to be incredibly rude to your editor, to talk shit about one publication to another, to say horrible things about an editor or publication on your blog or to lie.

Not planning to do any of those. Nor am I planning to chase an editor or agent into the bathroom at a writers conference and hand my manuscript under her stall door, nor find out which hotel room she's in and stuff my ms under her door, page by page.

All of which either happens with appalling frequency or has happened once and gets retold over and over as the great urban legends of the conference circuit.

Susan, you mean to tell me that some people know no bounds? I'm shocked, I tell ya. Shocked.

Well, yeah.

But that's a level of counterproductivity that never fails to boggle my mind. I'm not strong on empathy, not by a long shot, but what kind of person who has enough imagination to finish a novel (of whatever quality) doesn't have sufficient imagination to realize how it would feel to be that editor just trying to take a dump in decent privacy and have a ms shoved at her?
