I am no longer having Twitter Tools syndicate my tweets through my blog. If you really care about my moment-to-moment movements or my 140-character insights (and I cannot think why you possibly could), follow.
10. They liked it better when it was called JANE EYRE and didn’t suck.
24. The alternative-history genre has lost its appeal. Everyone knows it doesn’t matter what else would have happened if the South won the Civil War and the Nazis won WWII: George W. Bush would still have been elected president.
27. You know the talented creative writing professor who told you your work showed so much creativity and promise? Turns out what he really meant was that he wanted you to blow him.
29. Everyone who attempts to load a copy of the manuscript onto their Kindle is found dead three hours later.
36. God may have told you to write this book, but he didn’t tell you how to give it a decent ending.
38. For the first 20 pages, everyone who reads it is certain it’s the funniest book they’ve ever read. Unfortunately by the 21st, they finally realize you’re actually being serious.
45. A general rule to follow when writing for kids: If you could go to jail for saying it to them in person, you’re better off not putting it into print.
And as for ultramegaouch:
15. It’s not technically a novel until you’ve written it down first.
10 Free Serif Fonts. Garogier –
– is sublime. I’d pay for it.
Albertson’s (a grocery chain that exists at least in Southern California) has had Lean Cuisine microwave dinners for $1.99 this past week. I bought a dozen.
You know what? They’re really quality food. Something has happened in the world of TV dinners. Ten years ago, they were as bad for you as junk food, and as crappy-tasting as airline food in coach. Now the TV dinners have become tasty, interesting, and not-too-unhealthy. It’s not haute cuisine, but I would choose Lean Cuisine meals over dinner at, say, Marie Callender’s or Coco’s. The offerings include engaging things like “Tortilla crusted fish”, and there are numerous vegetarian offering, including a roasted vegetable pizza that is sublime. The boxes have gone high-tech, too, folding into things such as a platform that crisps a pizza crust. In the microwave.
The meals average around 300 calories, 20% – 25% of the calories from fat, three grams of fiber, and (this is not great) 500 mg of sodium. They’re a pleasure to eat, and, as I said, two dollars apiece. I need to go get more (I think my tiny freezer, if I remove everything else, can hold 14.)
