LOL, I saw that, too, this morning! Cool Beans, Teddy.

WAY TO GO TEDDY!!!!!!!

Way to go, Teddy!

Saw the posting too --classic cluelessness poster. Enjoyed the despair site myself and plan on using some of those in the cubicle pergatory of work.

congrats!

That's terrific, Teddy!

I'm grinning like a loon now.

Congrats, Teddy.

Congrats Teddy! I bet your site visits went way up today - she's got quite a following!

Way to go, Teddy!
(Pressure's on now buddy. The bar has been set higher.)

Yikes I just was notified about this thread...
thanks all...
and yes Dawno went sky high...but Miss Snark in her emails to me (no not for public) was incredibly nice...

I also posted more in the series called:
Writing And Despair Happy Hour
at Cobwebs Of The Mind

and there will be quite a lot more...it is for all writers

Way to go Teddy!

cool teddy. i wondered how long it would take for her to notice all your posts - but what about all the posts you have done panning anonymous literary experts? has she stumbled over those or was she in a gin-induced fog?

btw i have had email correspondence with her and she is very nice, very helpful and scarily efficient (either that or she spends all her time on her blog and gets nothing else done!)

Talia:

I would hope and certainly expect from reading Miss Snark that she is intelligent enough to know that one does not have to agree with her all the time!

Additionally, in all my posts against Anonymous Experts...
I always singled out Miss Snark as being the one true exception.

Actually presently, and on my blog I did post this as well, after a correspondance with The Rejecter - whom I found to be incredibly nice and really altruistic as well - I put her in Snark's list. Of course she does not have Miss Snark's experience or wealth of knowledge, but she is doing her part.

I still will take shots on my blog at any wannabe who feels putting up an anonymous blog is a way to become an expert, and I will still, without fear, take apart any post I feel, (words here are "I feel" - subjective) to be belittling or just plain stupid. Of which there is a wealth of those on Agent blogs as well.

And I really do not care who says the "stupid" thing. Anonymous or not.

But as Mac requested, all this will be done on my Blog and not at AW.

To be incredibly, how shall I put this here, "straight", without revealing any confidences that I have been asked to keep, I have actually found from the Blog that almost all those I do say something about, initiate a correspondance with me in email, and try to explain themselves. With the exception of one, that has been the case.

Actually a couple of times, I sent a private email about some posts I thought could be read in a different manner than the poster desired, and though I had no clue who the person in publishing was, as I never heard of them, they did change the wording of the posts.

Sometimes we post things on our blogs that are read much differently by people than how they were originally meant. Most normative Literary Agents are professional and intelligent. They are as willing as the next person to admit they made a mistake.

And for all those following

The Writing And Despair Happy Hour Series

continues daily at Cobwebs Of The Mind

Already up to Part Five. It seems to have become, shall we say, a fairly popular series on the Internet world of Blogs

i don't for a moment think miss snark would be upset by anything you wrote. more amused i would think.

anyway i like her, she's efficient, professional, makes no money from what she is doing and is "straight up". Evil Editor is lovely too. His editing of query letters is hilarious and he is very helpful via email.

Don't know how those 2 get their day jobs done but as EE took his laptop and posted to his blog while he was away I guess he is a bit of a workaholic
