Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

First big step! I'm so excited and nervous.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

One more congratulations to Allyson! This is so exciting!

deep breath

I adore her. We just talked about the essays and such, and the proposal. I have to do an overhaul on Save Firefly, and we talked a bit about The Misery Effect, the one about craxy!fans and the hatemail they send to writers, and just who owns the story?

And also? I have a very distinctive voice.

I don't really know what that means but it made me feel really really good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I TOLD you! I ain't much of a cook, and I can't play a musical instrument, and I never learned Algebra--but I know good writing when I see it.

Because books.

So is it more like Kathleen Turner, or Colombo?

I need to do a lot of writing/rewriting, so I think I'll ask for a vacation day tomorrow. Yeah? Yeah.

Thank you guys a whole hella lot.

Always Anti-fascist!

No, babe. It means that an Allyson sentence sounds like an Allyson sentence and you have a way of talking about this stuff that nobody has.

Always Anti-fascist!

That's what "distinctive voice" means for us, Allyson. Apart from the blank looks from the average. Like "pacing problems" means "big old boring slow spot."
