Cleaning house

Tag: Don't be hatin' — Kerry Allen @ 5:28 am

Yes, Virginia, I have been removing sites from the blogroll again.

I have had enough of the hostility toward books, toward authors, toward publishers, and most especially toward other readers who don’t share one’s tastes or aesthetic sensibilities or, god forbid, buy their books at an unacceptable location (WTF?!).

It’s been deteriorating for a while, and it’s no longer fun or interesting or informative. It’s just a place to gather and bitch like a bunch of high school girls.

I didn’t like those girls 20 years ago, and my tolerance has since decreased. The difference is, now I’m not required by law to stay in the same room.

Party inside. (4)

Kerry Allen: But I NEED the inner editor to smack me around. It toughens me up for "YOU SUCK!!1!" from other sources so I am able to maintain my tough-girl facade even when cut to the bone. Plus, she's right. I should have caught a stand-out word appearing in 2 consecutive paragraphs. Ah, well. Can be cleaned up in the PDF, I suppose.
C.J. Redwine: Stop the incessant inner editor! Offer her a cookie. Tell her the chocolate chips are really commas. She'll love it...I pause to wonder why when I fill out the "name" and "email" section of this wall, a balloon pops up to assure me that Google CAN fill it in for me. Since I had to just keep typing out my entire name and email with no help (Oh, the humanity!), I'm assuming Google read the [...]
Kerry Allen: Fleh. So infodumpy, it burns. And I see a poor word choice issue about four inches to my left...
Kerry Allen: Wait no longer! And take the "Ch. 5 coming soon" with a big ol' grain of salt, of course.
C.J. Redwine: I can't wait. :D
