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

Allyson, so let someone who does find you interesting - my geuess would be, that's pretty much all of us - write about you.

Me, I'm about to kiss a long-preserved personal anonymity goodbye, with a long email to Joel Selvin tomorrow. Unless I chicken out. Which I won't.

Sorry. Enigmatic. It concerns the inspiration for the Kinkaids, and a show Selvin aired tonight. The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things....

Wish me some serious courage tomorrow. I'll need it.

edit: cancel the courage. I wrote the damned email, and sent it. Aw jeez.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's Monday, May Day, and New Drabble Day!

Challenge #107 (describe a character by the contents of his/her _____) is now closed.

Challenge #108 is The Big Reveal. (I admit, it was inspired entirely by Deb's big scary e-mail of yesterday.)

I'm too competitive. I was just trying to drive up the price on that auction that Betsy linked to for the mystery author critique, and now am winning again, but at a higher price than I originally envisioned, with the poverty and all...but I'm posting about it because, in case I win? She'll want to see a five-page synopsis, which I'll have to write. What should I keep in mind?

erika, if you win, yelp. I'll go over it with you - is there a deadline, if you do win the bid?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Luck, then, Deb.

(Which I typo'd orginally as "lick, Deb." Which kinda wasn't the message I wanted to send, but hee.)

I'm not sure...just a bunch of stuff about payment clearing and such. I think when you win you set things up with Cherry Author Lady, but I'm not completely sure.

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

Inspired by deb, I'm going to get plucky and see if I can get a blurb from Sarah Vowell.

Go, Allyson!

Allyson, I just had this perfect mental image of you and Ms. Vowell, just hanging and talking and getting progressively chattier as the conversation gets cooler and cooler.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

When this happens, I want to be sitting at the next table so I can shamelessly eavesdrop.
