'Fess up here. Have you said any of these? Or feel free to add your own. The other day I said to my husband: "It'll be like Wuthering Heights meets Flash Gordon. It'll be awesome!" He just shook his head sadly.

"Who doesn't like the word 'member'?"

Lady Goddess · May 16, 2012

I don't write romance but I have said "So what do you think? Be brutally honest." To me that means please be brutally honest. I usually say this to my sister, and then I wind up crying. Her crit is like being smacked around with a bat filled with rusty nails and then thrown into a pool of rubbing alcohol. But I did ask for it. And she always has a good point, even if it is covered in meanness.

Ann_Mayburn · May 16, 2012

lol- That is too funny.

Rhoda Nightingale · May 16, 2012

I'm not sure if I'm more amused by the tiara or the gloves or the ever present coffee/diet coke.

(Confession: Rhoda still doesn't understand what "high concept" means.)

WildScribe · May 16, 2012

Um... no. I am not sure I've ever said any of those things... :Wha:

Channy · May 16, 2012

"It'd be like Casablanca... if like, Casablanca was male/male erotica."

I'd read it.

Beachgirl · May 16, 2012

No. No I haven't. But the ever-present Diet Coke, coffee cup and liquor bottle on the desk looks vaguely familiar.

Me too.

san_remo_ave · May 16, 2012

"What if Prinny and Jane Austen had a love child. And the love child was a werewolf."

Awesome.

Bubastes · May 16, 2012

OMG, that's my sofa!!

sunandshadow · May 16, 2012

I've said, "It'll be like Pride and Prejudice, but with dragon aliens. It'll be awesome!"

I laughed so hard. I don't think I've said any of that though.

BenPanced · May 16, 2012

"Yeah, well, your face is a dark moment!"

:ROFL:

ViolettaVane · May 16, 2012

It'll be like I, Claudius crossed with Spartacus with a bag of dildos tossed on top!

elindsen · May 20, 2012

I'm on my phone so I can't watch the video at this point...but I am very afraid

VanessaNorth · May 20, 2012

#amwriting = #amdrinking

well, sometimes. But probably not at 6 in the morning when I do a lot of my writing.

soapdish · May 20, 2012

This is why I quit my local writing group. Seriously.

I wonder if there is a sh*t horror writers say. :idea:

Chiquita Banana · May 20, 2012

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

Sounds like a Josh Lanyon book to me...

Cathy C · May 22, 2012

Too funny!

ladyleeona · May 23, 2012

That is too hilarious. :roll:

I don't think I've ever said anything like that, though. (Or I'll just never tell

)

The coffee/diet coke/booze as a supporting writing character, however, well....

DyLoveday · May 25, 2012

Oh yeah, I'm always asking my husband: "Hey, what's that word? You know the one. When you're ..."

Love it.

Strunk & White, Vogler and Stephen King books on the kitchen table.

Squirm.

Voyager · May 25, 2012

She left out the most important one...

"Babe, grab on to the bedpost with your teeth and brace yourself. I need to do a physics experiment."

I laughed so hard when I read that.
