• 09:42:41: How long am I supposed to wait for my bionic arm?
  
• 09:49:45: I left my wrist brace at home today. Usually it's always in my bag just in case, but I had to make room for books today #epicfail
  
• 09:50:09: Going to rummage through my drawers and see if I have any heat salve tucked away to ease the pain
  
• 09:51:35: One of these days I'm going to learn my lesson and write at a desk like a sensible person. Maybe.
  
• 09:56:48: @MarkRHunter @wtfbrain I've found my miracle heat salve! It makes everything better ^_^
  
• 10:54:38: Really loving the debates raging between fans and writers of trad publishing v idnie/Kindle publishing...
  
• 10:55:07: ... Apparently nowadays having an agent and a contract with a big publishing house actually means you're crap and cowardly...
  
• 10:55:43: ... Coz NYC only publish crap, and you're just seeking some emotional validation by going that route instead of self-publishing
  
• 10:56:53: I'm going to start avoiding certain blogs, I think, otherwise I might become irrational and bitchy
  
• 10:59:19: For the record, I don't see a problem with either route, and since we're all working to the same goal - publication - why all the animosity?
  
• 11:06:27: @imogenhowson I have a lot of free time on my hands at work... It's amazing what you can find when you're desperate!
  
• 11:09:15: @imogenhowson Lol, got to love the internet. Someone somewhere is crazy about something for no reason, all the time!
  
• 11:20:10: @Scarimonious Of course! On the other hand, if you do do it for money, you're not an Artist and probably a nasty person
  
• 11:23:17: @K8JohnsonAuthor Me, I'm all about the validation. I need praise and adoration and I need it now! And always!
  
• 11:27:16: @imogenhowson Lol, I haven't seen that, but it sounds so right!
  
• 11:28:34: @Scarimonious Some of the stats people are throwing around on JA Konrath's latest blog make for interesting reading...
  
• 11:29:23: @Scarimonious ...As do the usual "No, YOU'RE stupid!" comments. Worth a gander if you have time to scroll through 200+ comments
  
• 11:32:03: @K8JohnsonAuthor Me too. The sooner I write my "crappy teen vampire fest" and sell out for millions, the better. That's what we do, I hear
  
• 13:09:50: @leatherzebra Exactly! I don't see why it has to be one or the other, and it angers me that some people are constantly stirring it
  
• 13:18:38: @leatherzebra OMG, yes! And no one goal is more or less "right" or "smarter" than another
  
• 13:50:35: Next time I hear "urban fantasy is crap and not a real genre and nothing but vampire porn," I'm going postal
  
• 13:53:06: Obviously this week I'm going to be angry about pure entertainment not being a valid reason for something to exist
  
• 14:00:48: @Scarimonious I think drastic action is called for. The kind that ends in fire!
  
• 14:12:04: RT @kazmahoney: On the blog: 10 BLOGS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT (with giveaway) http://bit.ly/cGPIcP Please RT - thanks!
  
• 14:23:36: @Scarimonious Yay! Drinking and burning!
  
• 14:34:15: @Scarimonious That has always been an ambition of mine. I like the helmets. And the pillaging
  
• 14:39:40: @leatherzebra Hmm, bandwagon, much?
  
• 14:43:20: @leatherzebra It's the same everywhere. I've been involved in a discussion recently on how UF shouldn't be shelved with "real" fantasy...
  
• 14:44:05: @leatherzebra And yeah, that certain blog just makes me upset and angry. I'm not sure why we're all at war with each other right now
  
• 14:45:26: @leatherzebra Because, of course, UF is just vampire porn and romantic crap and sullies traditional fantasy by even existing. WTF?!
  
• 14:46:23: @leatherzebra Ugh. I still say we're all on the same path; how we get there shouldn't be a problem for the other people on the journey
  
• 14:47:57: @leatherzebra Same old story, people don't think romance is a valid genre with anything legitimate to offer
  
• 14:48:42: @leatherzebra It's all about The Art, darling. If you're doing it just to entertain, you're not a Real Artist
  
• 14:54:56: @leatherzebra Absolutely, it's all subjective, but there's always someone who just has to be right and have the final word...
  
• 14:55:35: @leatherzebra ... And in publishing I don't think there can be a "final word" or definitive right answer to anything. Like you say...
  
• 14:56:09: @leatherzebra ...different people have different needs as far as reading goes, so nothing is any better than anything else in that respect
  
• 15:00:39: @leatherzebra At the end of it, I want to write what I love and have other people enjoy it. Everything else comes second to that
  
• 16:22:26: Wow, a monsoon has struck!
  
• 16:26:34: @thetheoryof Are you outside? Are you drowning?
  
• 16:45:57: I have vented my spleen. I feel better now. Thank you, livejournal!
  
• 17:39:52: Glub glub! Glub glub! Glub glub!
  
• 17:53:27: I am by no means dry right now
  
• 20:14:22: http://is.gd/ezhJJ Ket and Kyle are bonding http://is.gd/ezhOT
  
• 21:19:06: I'm finding it really hard to write convincing dialogue tonight. I've been trying to write one deep meaningful sentence for 15 minutes now
  
• 21:23:44: I will get around my problem by having Ayla admit to herself she can't think of anything deep and meaningful to say
  
• 21:42:56: This scene is just kicking my ass. How can it be so hard to write two people having a conversation in the dark?
  
• 21:54:57: @Skarrah I've decided to send my characters to their respective beds so they don't have to talk any more. Feels like cheating!
  
• 21:58:56: Rah, only 500 words written tonight, but I'm too tired to sit at the computer any more. Battle resumes tomorrow
