Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

You always hear about "hit men" turning out to be undercover cops. How do people expect to connect with real hit men? I've begun to wonder if there are any such thing or if they're all undercover cops. Except for the ones under exclusive contract, of course.

t now imagines Craigslist ads for hit men

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The publisher who wanted a full on my book asked for a link to my LJ. I don't know what to do.

Go friendslock everything you wouldn't want reaching a wider audience. Double-check it. Have someone not on your friends list verify what entries they ARE able to see.

And then give the publisher the link.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

beth, I'm good with that dream.

OTOH, the airport shooting is making my heart race.

msbelle, there's been a lot of ralphing going around. t insert standard ginger/dilute gatorade recommendation

Damn. Last week I IMed this co-worker about moving the mike of her headset closer to her mouth so she wouldn't have to yell. Already she has forgotten.

In non work news, I really want to fall down. Can't.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear Allyson. That's a bit of an outrageous request. Can you put up a phony one quickly with just stuff you want in there?

eta: or better yet Teppy's suggestion

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allyson, go through and make sure the right stuff is locked.

msbelle, get the ginger ale and take care of yourself.

Why do they need your LJ link??? Would they want to look at your diary and e-mails to friends?

Why would a publisher need your LJ? Unless it's geared exclusively to work stuff that he's interested in, that's an invasion of privacy.

I'm getting the pig!

Teppy = smart!

But we all knew that.

I don't think it's an invasion of privacy, or all that weird. It's a blog, in reality, not private communication. She's writing about online fandom, I can see where someone would be interested in the real deal. The good news is that LJ lets you restrict access to whatever you want to whomever you want.
