Ah, I love that so much. Bad Agent Sydney T. Cat is my new favorite thing!
That agent replied to my tweet, but then she deleted it. I think this was around the time her original tweet started to get lots of play out there in the wild, online world. But I got an email when she replied, here is what she said:
"agreed, 100%. No snark involved but shouldn't we all should be playing by the same rules?"
I almost replied to her again "WTF?" but I exercised restraint. My father always told me never to argue with a crazy or stupid person, someone wandering in might not be able to tell which one you are.
(((4lbs)))
(((Pit))) For anyone I've missed.
I'm on vacation and just found out I won some weird contest thingy on the MSFV this week. Maybe you all saw it? The 1st line grabber. I never do well with these things. You never know when that old, dusty trunked manuscript might come back to life though. My little book zombie.

Let's play by the same rules: I'll treat you like you're stupid and you act like you're stupid!
(My interpretation.)
Cricket, that blog is hilarious! I spent way too long reading the older entries this morning.
Cricket, great link!
Octavia, yay on the MSFV thing, and to the agent.
For Amarie, post in case of zombie requests:
So basically, you're glad to be back at work, Hester?
How ... conflicting.
*offers libations to the hellhounds on behalf of her WIP*Oh did u know that the writer of N1ck and N0rr@'s I. Playl1st is writing a sci fi YA? Yep, we know what the new trends are...
Muted felicitations, AO.
It's not about fame or fortune. I don't need a bestseller. I just want SOMEONE to want my writing besides me. Either that or I just want to see if I can give myself a concussion by beating my head against a wall.
Off today, and I just cranked about 3k on a SNI that's rapidly approaching WIP status. It's a completely pittish story, and something I'm confident my agent will have no interest in. In that way, working on it is delightfully freeing. I don't care if it's cliched crap that has no chance in hell of getting published. I'm writing it totally for me.
Coroner solves mystery of human feet found on beaches
10 hrs ago
A grim mystery has been baffling Washington state and British Columbia, Canada: Why do all these disembodied human feet keep washing up on our beaches? The appearance of 12 feet in rubber soled shoes in five years, with six surfacing in a six-month period, made officials worry that something fishy was afoot. Theories ranged from a serial killer to an aircraft crash. According to London's Daily Mail, British Columbia coroner Stephen Fonseca, who has been studying the phenomenon for years, says the source is a bridge over Vancouver's Fraser River, and most of the feet belonged to suicide victims. Thanks Stephen, now please take a vacation. So, beachcombers, that means there may be more feet washing up in the future. Tread carefully.
I'm sorry, but this story is soooo pittish, I couldn't resist. I mean, that's just gotta go in a story. You can't make this stuff up!
