Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Another envelope has a check for a good deal more for a romance. It was one written very much to formula and she cranked it out in a short while and the publisher sent it fairly soon after she submitted the manuscript.

I think I should be aspiring to do this. Writing serious fiction is HARD.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Because books.

Most romance writers are not getting big checks, though, to be clear. Not until they're hitting the Times list, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, Erin, that thing with the arms of the hoodie is really fucking nifty. Who the hell thought of that? They deserve a pat on the back and a brownie cupcake.

I had PopTarts for breakfast and frozen White Castle for lunch. I think I've reached a new nutritional low.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Writing serious fiction is HARD.

Writing is hard. For serious. The amount of privilege that dude is snorting should be fatal.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Good god, that post uses hock as a verb twice.

Hock is a perfectly cromulent verb; it just doesn't mean what they think it means. He was hawking, not pawning something. It is eye-bleed worthy.
