People of the Internet, please, please, please, when you use my website contact form to get in touch with me, please include an address so I can respond to you? Sending me messages with blank "from" lines just means...
a) I can't answer, even if you ask direct questions, and b) I get really frustrated, because I at least try to answer all my mail.
So please, please provide me with an email address so I can answer you. It makes things a lot more stressy when you don't.
I did! And for being a role model for 3 year olds who want to have sparkles and reptiles.
I am a bad fan girl. Perhaps that is why I have a kitty scratch across the top of my foot. Kaylee wasn't be a pest, she was being bad internet karma. I'll have to apologize to her tonight.
She was an extra pesky this morning, which is not so good for me. Not a morning person! How did I end up with not just the morning cat, but a morning hound too! At least the child, husband and other hound are also not morning people.
I don't think I saw the 50 Follow-Up Thoughs. Reading all the follow up comments now.
I need t memory that thread, so that if E does get grief for being an all-around-person, I can show her that other people say it's ok. Not just her family!
My private e-mail is the same is the lj one. hamletkitty at yahoo
That was me, late last night after/while teaching my English 101 class. I was on an endorphine high, so might not have filled the email addy thing out. :) Apologies! My email is mknopf@gmail.com .
I have the printout of your 50 thoughts sitting on my desk near one of my copies of Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style". I say this not to be a totally fan-boy (though I really really liked "Feed"), but because your thoughts are so helpful. In particular, I liked the essay about the distinction between being a writer and between being a novelist. (I am the former, wanting to be the latter.) I've written all my life and even made a living as a reporter, but have yet to complete a work of novel-length. Ambition is a good thing, though I'm a relative dilettante.
Did I say Feed was great? It's the newest, most refreshing thing I've read in a while. Okay, now I need to get back to the law work now...

And it's okay, really; it's just frustrating, 'cause I want to be good and offer answers. Did you see the 50 Follow-Up Thoughts?
