Gus, that does sound like very good advice.
Yay, Allyson! I can hardly wait for your book to be published. I know I've seen many of the essays already, but I can't wait to read the rest.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Allyson?
Ahem.
I TOLD YOU SO.
I heart our agent, as well. She read the first 13K of New-Slain Knight, said, yep, this needs nothing at all, sending it Ruth with the synopsis in the morning, let's get the contract clock a-tickin'.
She rocketh, mightily.

I may actually be a loser at the moment. I actually googled writer's block sites. Shoot me.

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
I really needed to hear that today, I tells ya. And yes, I'm submitting to TAL, but, you know, fat chance.

Why fat chance? Seems to me to be right up their alley, and lord knows, the quality of the essay is certainly not an issue.

Man, I'd love to hear your voice coming out of my stereo. I think your style would fit very well with the show, so I'm quite hopeful. I could also see some time NPR does a handwringing report over internutness, one of your pieces as commentary antidote, too.

My article on "House" came out today. It looks really good.

erika, you're amassing a nice little resumè of press pieces. When it comes time to hit an agent with AMC, this will come in handy.
It's one reason I love doing anthology submissions; keeps the name green and the skills honed.

That one in particular will be helpful, with its long discussion of the "defective detective" trope.
