Oh, and Erin, in case it wasn't clearly enough implied in my previous post, they are completely and utterly wrongheaded. You are a great writer, and I am so very happy that you are happy with your current job.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
because I have written some articles for Helium and gotten a few jobs through Elance.
I am not exactly sure what could possibly be a bad thing about getting paid for writing.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Because one is a content mill, and the other... if you're a Real Writer, and Doin' Yer Business Right, you would NEVER have to use Elance!
Hence, I am stoopid, not a real writer and a bad businesswoman. @@
ETA: I'm over it, and laughing it off now. Just sharing the dumb.
ETAII: Typo. Fixed, because I am a Real Writer!

You could always say "Well, I *do* have other skills, but they'd probably get me arrested."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I love you, erika. Even though you just made me choke on a banana. (Unfortunately, NOT a euphemism.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dude, seriously, don't touch the crazy. It'll just get its gooey slime all over you. So much better to point and laugh.

Oh Erin. I am glad you're not letting it get to you. I'm kind of a renowned expert in my particular area of technical knowledge in my job, and I *still* have idiots trying to undermine me on teh interwebs.
