I just hate that you can't explain to the dog that you aren't leaving forever.

My husband and I have been married for fourteen years! Our marriage is as old as many of the people who read my books. Weird and cool.

I probably shouldn't have written my character into a corner with no help, no friends, no weapons and no hope. Hmmm… 🙁

I have to write, but I don't want to put down @Bibliogato's FINDING CENTER, either. Conflicted! ????????

It is better to have written not much and that shite then not to have written at all. For you can edit shite but you can't edit nothing.

NB: If a sex scene is written by a woman, it's probably "just erotica." If it's written by a man, it's edgy, boundary-pushing litfic.

I had a patron talking about "Boy Books". I wanted to scream!!!!! I just WISH @maureenjohnson were here to stare at her! #librarylife

@veschwab I think what you mean to say is that WRITING IS NEVER ENDING PAIN.

As if I can lie and say I *never* get jealous of other bloggers. I just let it go after a second or so.

Unfortunately when I am asked to give clean recs by the local school, clean includes LGBTQIA books being excluded. That makes me sad.

@Cuddlebuggery *throws mud all over the YA section*
— Gillian Berry (@mizgillianberry) July 20, 2015
@Cuddlebuggery I think there is so much diversity in YA in re: to content that readers can find plenty they are comfortable with.

If they ignore you, they seem not to care about the problematic thing. If they respond, that's even worse.

This is what's so absurd when ppl say authors not wanting to be tagged can't handle criticism. What do you think the editing process is?
— Dahlia Adler (@MissDahlELama) July 20, 2015
Authors can't make edits to our books based on your critique of them after they're published. That's why your reviews are for readers.
— Dahlia Adler (@MissDahlELama) July 20, 2015
The issue's NOT the criticism–it's fair to critique books/portrayals–it's delivering that criticism, covered in shit, TO THE AUTHOR'S FEET

My pithy advice for navigating the internet is: "Don't vomit on yourself and then wallow in it." Good advice for life in general really.
