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.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

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

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

Definitely. Because whereas you've got the day-to-day living cred associated with being in the chair, that wouldn't necessarily ping prospective editors or agents that you could write it.
The resumè of articles and short fiction seals that deal for you.

Yay Allyson, yay erika!
And erika, on the day-to-day cred deb talks about, they always say "write what you know" - but that requires that you be able to write to start with. And you can.
eta: Deb, I sent something snail mail to you (in case my scrawl was completely unreadable).

TODDSON! I was just sitting down to email you - I was too out of it yesterday to even open the post that was waiting for me.
Yes, it's thread-relevant: Toddson sent me a sheet of "FOAD" stickers. If I get stuck with Mr. Post-it again, he's going to get a nice close look at the big-ass stickers.

Not to sound vain, because despite playing him on the internet I'm not House, but my editorial work has shown me that just because everyone has a story to tell doesn't mean they have any idea how to tell it. This apparently does not come in the Special Spirit gift box.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is the House thing online, or, more to the point, where can I read it?
