Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Gus, bite your tongue,(if I were in Bitches right now, I would do it, but...) because then I owe Allyson.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Heh. Gus, she's getting her own paragraph in the acknowledgments. And if they ever film it, I'm so going to have some suggestions to make...

I am so embarassed about leaving out that second infinitive.
ita would hurt me for it. I am sure she would.

She can't. She's too busy cluesticking the original love of my life in the novel I'm working on. You're safe, Gus.

I do not pine for punishment from ita, erikaj. I am not into that.
Wipe that "Uh, huh" off your pretty visage. I am not into that.

Right, sure. Although I'm disinclined to break your balls since you consider my visage pretty...total battle between the snarkmaster and the fiend for compliments. So conflicted!And since this conflict plays out at the desk all the time? On topic, too.ETA: The feedback skel usually wins...this particular time? I have a weremonkey on my back, I think.

I've done something I think is fairly important for me--cleaned out a bunch of the writing manuals I've been collecting. For the longest time I've thought, "One of these books holds the key." I'm now at the point where I think, "Maybe this one has a couple of good reminders I can keep handy."
Of sixteen books, I'm completely getting rid of four (didactic and repeating each other), two I'm keeping for about five pages each with useful ideas (I'm contemplating writing up those ideas in a separate notebook, then getting rid of the books), and one I'm keeping because his advice is fairly completely useful to me (Lawrence Block's "Telling Lies for Fun & Profit.")
Some I'm keeping just because I love the way they're written: Stephen King and Anne Fadiman and Ray Bradbury. Also Anne Wingate's Howdunit book, "Scene of the Crime." The stories of when she worked for a small Georgia town's CSI unit are wonderful.
Anybody interested in some generic writer's guides? "The Weekend Novelist", "The Weekend Novelist Writes a Mystery," "How to Write a Damn Good Novel," and "Get That Novel Started".
