After the cut…
- 22:02 What I’m tweeting about: wp.me/p2E96-16s #
- 22:36 @laurendane hmmm… talk about deceptive… lol #
- 22:36 @JackieKessler eh, i’ve had a lousy week and I’m too TIRED to react, otherwise, I might have. @jennablack #
- 22:36 @leatherzebra should have. was too tired. will hit after running kids to school in am #
- 22:37 @mrsgiggles oh you know you think they’re cute. #
- 22:37 @emeraldjaguar Isn’t that a pretty cover? I love the blue. #
- 22:38 @DonLinn nah-she’s actually getting it because she’s working on a story of hers a lot and the old desktop I gave her? Slow as hell. #
- 22:39 @DonLinn so gaming not much an issue. #
- 22:41 @bridgetlocke it’s showing for me…? #
- 22:46 @JackieKessler Oh, that video thing irritated me-not that I think HE is worth the writer orgs addressing-he’s not. #
- 22:47 @JackieKessler but the arrogance it takes for him to claim he’s ‘advancing our cause’. Irritated me. The whole video thing irritated me. #
- 22:48 @JackieKessler and even as it irritated? I was laughing. sigh. amused, irritated, aggravated all at once. I have many talents. #
- 22:48 @Zoe_Archer oh come on…harm 1 purple stole at least. @laurendane #
- 23:01 FYI… you’re a reason: wp.me/p2E96-152 #
- 23:05 @emeraldjaguar that’s a pretty book… *G* I like that cover… #
- 23:21 @emeraldjaguar eh, I’ve heard she sucks. :OP #
- 23:22 okay, where is my twitter friend who took the cute pic of my book and the cat? #
- 00:00 ugh. awful headache is starting to creep up. time to disconnect and go decompress. #
- 08:40 @michellej after last year, you’re going to hear that every time the word ‘flurry’ is mentioned…so you’re just out of luck O_O #
- 08:42 @michellej but wlky says we’re looking @ 2-4 possible, with higher local accumulations possible. So…I think that means… #
- 08:42 @michellej we’ll get nothing to a dusting. Or we’ll still be digging ourselves out this time next week. #
- 08:42 @ravenhappyhour awwwww… thank you. #
- 08:43 thanks for teh #ff recs! #
- 08:44 Ok, i’m off to brave the madness of the stores-since the word ‘snow’ has been mentioned, it will be madness. #
- 08:44 but i must face it. we’re almost out of milk. sigh. #
- 10:01 @anyabast *G* Isn’t that so fricking pretty…???? #
- 10:31 @Rob_Thurman plz to post except. *G* Now. #
- 10:34 quick #ff … @melissa_marr @Rob_Thurman @JackieKessler @colleenlindsay @ReadHowYouWant @whedonesque @TeresaMedeiros @marjoriemliu @DonLinn #
- 10:34 @marjoriemliu Um… that’s a nice dream, but if your dreams get too much weirder, you might want to leave the house…temporarily. LOL #
- 10:35 @marjoriemliu just to reacquaint yourself with reality…so you don’t crash when it hits you. ;o) #
- 10:37 @dearauthor I’m actually not surprised-they keep driving down costs and while great for readers, will eventually cause probs for industry #
- 10:37 @dearauthor some sort of middle ground, that benefits both sides equally, needs to be found. #
- 10:38 Oooh…. fun. RT @SmartBitches: Stay tuned: this afternoon I have digital ARCs of @jillshalvis’ Slow Heat to give away on Twitter. #slowheat #
- 10:41 @dearauthor Yes. I do NOT think that ebooks shd as much as a print book-but the $9.99 thing, trying to push lower? Don’t like that either #
- 10:42 @dearauthor I just think there needs to be some sort of middle ground, and I don’t like 1 or 2 ‘super’ stores having as such control. #
- 10:42 RT @thebookmaven: Hello #fridayreads peeps, it’s only 10 a.m. & we are HALFWAY TO 500 COMMENTERS! Giveaway in sight! snurl.com/u7yxq #
- 10:44 @dearauthor but in reality-which would YOU rather buy from-hit 3-4 individual pubs? Or one big store? #
- 10:45 @dearauthor that’s a convenience issue and while I’ll buy from pubs often, I don’t think it’s likely a lot of people will start doing that. #
- 10:49 @courtneymilan and I actually thing I like the way you phrased that… maybe that’s part of my issue. #
- 10:50 @dearauthor Actually… yes, I can. My problems with Amazon lie in a number of things. Some competition for Amazon won’t be a bad thing. #
- 10:51 @dearauthor they want a huge chunk of profits, they want to push costs lower while still taking more of the profits, and right now (cont) #
- 10:51 @dearauthor they dominate certain aspects of the market. Somebody coming in and shaking that up? I don’t see that as bad. #
- 10:52 @dearauthor but, I’m also not entirely business minded, nor am I likely to be. #
- 10:53 @dearauthor I do think that one particular place being in control for too long isn’t necessarily good, though. #
- 10:53 @dearauthor and pubs and other retailers want to try and shake things up, I don’t see that as bad. #
- 10:57 @MichellePillow LMAO> The DH really liked the steak w/asiago. I must remember how to make that. #
- 11:01 I really suspect that if Amazon hadn’t been demanded a 65% cut of the book’s cost, this might not have happened. @katiebabs @3Maili #
- 11:03 but that’s what Amazon wants, which leaves 35% for authors and pubs-who CREATED/PUBBED the work. @katiebabs @3Maili #
- 11:05 @katiebabs amazon wants to corner the market on everything. #
- 11:07 File this under things NOT to due: Man torches car trying to thaw it out… via reuters. bit.ly/cUjDcB #
- 11:11 @3Maili LOL… a lot of pubs already have their own ‘stores’. but a lot of consumers prefer to buy from bigger places. #
- 11:14 @3Maili but would you really want to hit 3-4 different pub stores? Or one ‘catch all’ store? #
- 11:14 @MichellePillow um. it’s chicken and dumplings probably for tonight. going to be cold. #
- 11:17 Okay, the nurse in me is going… wow… bit.ly/90Luti) Bill Gates is investing $10b in vaccine program. #
- 11:17 @MichellePillow keep your gadgets away from my food. #
- 11:18 @3Maili do you really? I’ll spend a few bucls (a few) to avoid having to hit more than 1-2 places. #
- 11:18 RT @mark_henry: pls RT! Come say hello to me and win stuff! bit.ly/a3TrSy (via @DakotaCassidy) #
- 11:23 deep breath. breathe. yikes. am sending first half If You Hear Her to my editor to send what she thinks. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. #
- 11:30 @maya_banks Normally, I don’t. But this is a weird project for me and if I’m screwing it up? I wanna know NOW #
- 11:31 @MichellePillow keep your gadgets off my food. #

- 13:29 A very touching post over @ @SmartBitches ‘s blog. bit.ly/blcI9t #
- 13:39 @jaciburton Hey, you never know… you might fall in love with the madness of it. @StephanieTyler #
- 13:40 chicken and dumplings now on the ‘simmer’ stage. wondering what else I can throw in there. #
- 13:49 @jaciburton Hell. we’re writers. There’s SUPPOSED to be madness involved. @StephanieTyler #
- 13:53 @jaciburton *G* See? You already unerstand the appeal of madness. @StephanieTyler #
- 13:58 @StephanieTyler *G* Might be fun. But you do know, some of those linear thinkers? We’ll never corrupts #

- 15:33 I don’t go squee over every new gadget, haven’t paid much attention to the iPad (although the name…really). However, been looking @ pics. #
- 15:33 And reading some complaints. A lot of the complaints? It has no camera. Okay, peoples… I’m not seeing it. #
- 15:34 the iPad is the size of a piece of paper… I mean, it ain’t heavy. But it’s not exactly a compact size. not exactly streamlined-ya know? #
- 15:35 @Zombie_Joe oh, tsk tsk… go read. they are so awesome. so so awesome. #
- 15:37 @Rob_Thurman and to think i invited you to my house. remember, thurman…i got kids, and i’m highly watchful over them… narrowing eyes… #
- 15:38 @jodywallace unless I’m reading wrong, that is one of the complaints. There is no WAY I’d be holding up something that size to take a pic #
- 15:38 @MireyahWolfe should i pull her back from the volcano? she’s scrappy, but i bet I can take her. @Rob_Thurman #
- 15:40 @CBCebulski I could buy that one… sure. Absolutely. #
- 15:42 @LVLM i can see the appeal for reading, but I got a reader. I can see the appeal for non-writing PC needs. but…well. #
- 15:42 @LVLM don’t NEED it. #
- 15:43 @LVLM but the people upset cuz no camera? makes me wonder how often they take pictures…??? #
- 15:43 @Rob_Thurman *G* Will have lecter mask on hand #
