Umm, Well....
Jun. 23rd, 2011 09:48 pmJust to update, I think I gave the wrong vibe about this entry. I wasn't complaining about it, but I just thought it was funny and wanted to share it. Sometimes I wish I had a 'joke' button on my keyboard! I really meant it that I thought it was a great compliment, but that I found the wording of it amusing. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression! Who doesn't want to be called a god (or in my case, goddess, but you know what I mean)?
I just received a review from ff.net for The Sensual World that said:
This is the first time I've been totally satisfied with a first chapter. Either your beta is outrageously incredible, or you yourself are a god.
Well, I do have a great beta, and sure enough, she does make me sound better, but.... why does it have to be either or?
On the good side, I just watched the entire series of Game of Thrones in two sittings. How much fun was that?

Chapters 10 and 11 of Lay Me Low were uploaded today. I also got the strangest review. The reader said she hated my story and everything about it, but couldn't stop reading it. WTF?
I was treated to an explanation of how she had a 16 year old granddaughter and the thought of men lusting after her granddaughter made her skin crawl and that everything about the storyline made her sick to her stomach, but that she had to keep reading it.
Ummm, am I supposed to thank her for hating my story but being unable to stop reading? Being the Southerner I am and innoculated with the litany of yes, ma'am, no ma'am, three bags full, I think I did actually thank her, but tried to explain that the character was not actually 16 and was 18 yada yada yada, but in reality I was thinking, WTF? I think this is the first time I've ever used that abbreviation, and the reader just made me use it twice. I didn't want to be rude, but it's just fanfic and I'm walking on eggshells as it is in this bloody story, and being essentially told your story is car-crash viewing isn't exactly a balm for the ego. Pfft. WTF? There, I've said it again.
