Venting quietly in here, because if I vent where this happened, I will be looked upon as a Green Meanie of the highest order. But seriously, who on earth thinks it's okay to break their longtime lurking on a professional writers' loop with a post asking for medical advice??

And what's worse, the number of responses/commiserations (not sure which because I was just hitting delete like a madwoman) was absolutely astounding. A post asking a legit writing question goes virtually ignored while the medical advice brings on all comers. And again, professional writers loop.

Allyson, if you still need a pair of eyes, shoot it to me. Oh, what am I saying, I want to read it anyway, if it's okay with you.

And Barb, that's appalling. But somehow I'm not surprised.

You know, I have this rash.....

You know, I have this rash.....

Pbbbbbbbblllllllltttttttt

(Or, if My Big Fat Greek Wedding advice is to be believed, a spritz of Windex will clear that right up.)

Allyson, you can send it to me too. I may be busy but I'm not too busy for you.

Burrell that reminds me that I totally owe you feedback! My brain has been vacationing these last couple weeks.

laga, have you read any of it or should i send you chapters 1-4?

I haven't read any of it but what you posted on line. I'd love to read it from the beginning!

insent to all with thanks.

I made Samwriter open your edits, Bev, I'm too scared.

Oh honey, you know I'm gentle. Plus, there's never much wrong.*

I am curious what he had to say, comparing his and yours, though. I was not ruthless with his chapter, but I was honest, and I winced about it a little bit after I sent it. He wrote me the sweetest thank you note.
