Katie, good question and it sends me into bruxism code red, as well.
I mean, there've always been the "women drivers/men drivers" thing, but that's equal footing.
Fuckers.
(why yes, still cranky)
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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

Too much exposition....

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Well, at least I know that I'm not insane - or if I am, so are you. That's a relief.
(I also stress "ass" when I say harassment. I'm a wild woman!)

Dudesse, I tear tags of mattresses, without buying them first.
SCREW the penalty of law.

I still say nothing is worse than people being edgy for the sake of edgy, Deb. But what would you expect from a person who pined for the grimy old Homicide squad and creepy credits? Let's see, what's an edgy mystery thing I fucking hate...um, killers that have little-kid personalities that talk about Mommy burning them with cigarrettes. I'd rather read 400 cozies than one more of that, and you know my taste is for the hard-boiled at the moment. Ritualistic, loving description of murder is nauseating too. I mean, I get the rush of power thing, but some writers get a happy off it.

I have no objection to edgy - the one that Linda Marrow at Random House is looking at right now, Still Life With Devils, is edgy and sexy and scary and has demonic feng shui, a serial killer who kills pregnant women, and who may or may not be human. It's really fucking dark, but it's dark because that was the story, not because I wanted to prove 'edgy". Sod that.
The one I'm collaborating on, The Eden Tree, is well beyond edgy and into pissed-off nature versus well-meaning but arrogant humanity, and I ait sayin' who wins, but it isn't pretty.
But why does everything have to be dark? Garcon! Some yang to go with my yin, please?
Feh.

I've just posted a long writerly whinge in my livejournal.
I'm probably not fit for humanity tonight. But I'll be more human tomorrow, I hope.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Deb, just so you know, I love Still Life with Devils immensely. I want to read it again. And again.
