• 07:50:15: @amanda_hocking used the word "bogus" in Fate! That means I can bring back bodacious now, right?
  
• 08:58:54: Dear Spammer, my family is awesome, thanks for asking. I still won't send you my bank details though.
  
• 10:07:14: Ooh, new review for Night and Chaos! http://tinyurl.com/5weogt4
  
• 10:12:35: I don't get authors who are unhappy with an honest reveiw, whether it's 3 stars, 5, or 1.
  
• 10:13:02: I'm not saying I don't get down when my work doesn't make someone happy, but an honest, constructive review is all I can ask for
  
• 10:13:59: In light of the Jacqueline Howett fiasco, I think it's worth repeating that reviews aren't for the author's benefit anyway, but the readers'
  
• 10:14:23: Yeah, I want to be able to share good reviews to promote my work, but by the time the book's published, it's too late for me to change ...
  
• 10:15:21: ...anything about it, so gnashing my teeth over a "bad" review doesn't achieve anything. Better to let people make up their own minds...
  
• 10:15:44: ...rather than ram it down their throats that your precious book is GOOD GODAMMIT and you'd better not say otherwise to anyone!!!
  
• 10:19:11: Also, all art is subjective. I only bought Janine Cross's Touched by Venom because I heard it was the worst book ever and I loved it
  
• 10:19:41: (I even loved the use of the phrase "venom cock" but it's not what you think, I swear)
  
• 10:20:10: And I'm about the only person I know who doesn't care for Sookie Stackhouse or Harry Dresden
  
• 10:20:28: I've sort of lost track of what I was talking about now, so I'll probably go away for a bit
  
• 11:59:34: @TezMillerOz I didn't even make it that far! Gave up after four Dresden books and three Sookie books
  
• 12:11:43: Everything I need to do today depends on my boss being here, rather than in Sweden
  
• 14:39:23: @leatherzebra I didn't even know hardcore Jesus rap was a thing
  
• 16:17:06: Hey, Big Media Company Who Shall Remain Nameless. Way to support your employees with mental health issues
  
• 16:17:37: Castigating them for their problems and instigating "investigations" into their behaviour is probably exactly the support they need, right?
  
• 16:18:19: A "return to work" policy that involves trying to set them against their co-workers and forcing them into more time off is a great idea too
  
• 16:18:37: Because, after all, when you're suffering from anxiety and depression, what you really need is to feel that your job is threatened
  
• 16:18:51: That way you've got something to actually be paranoid about. Good thinking
  
• 16:19:57: No wonder people with depression are so bloody afraid to speak up. When they do, they're treated like lepers and embarrassments
  
• 16:22:08: If I was in punching distance of a certain person right now, they would be punched
  
• 16:23:52: @darkwriter Nothing I can really say much about here
  
• 16:53:20: So glad it's nearly home time. Not sure I can sustain this level of outrage and work at the same time
  
• 17:10:17: In lighter news, great article here on indie publishing that sums up my feelings perfectly http://t.co/M3ySMuK
  
• 17:22:17: RT @JArmintrout: Reality Star is a thing now? That's it. I'm a reality star. I succeed at reality in a big way.
  
• 18:33:09: Ha, have got Kyle hooked on @StaciaKane's Unholy Ghosts! Job done
  
• 21:05:29: Researching black mambas for Halflife. Yasmin doesn't share my love of snakes
  
• 21:58:12: Only 229 words away from hitting my target for the night. It feels like so much!
  
• 21:58:27: Eating a steak the size of my face has sapped all my energy, I fear
  
• 22:20:54: 1227 words written tonight! Huzzahs all round.
  
• 22:31:40: @JHSked Wow, cool! I've actually got a green mamba in this book. Probably as close as I'll ever get to one!
  
• 22:52:22: @JHSked lol, yeah, that would be pretty traumatic! I'll stick with corn snakes for now
