Favorite Positions

7/25/2014

0 Comments

 
It's been years since anybody's given me this kind of crap, and it feels like a better working world for women, to me, than the one I started in. So be loud, my sisters (and brothers), and be proud:

                        Show us your favorite position.
"When reality television star and fashion blogger Lauren Conrad was asked what her "favorite position" was on a live radio program a while back, the women listening held their breath. Although we take great pride in the work that we do, most of us could relate to being undermined and belittled publicly at work. When Conrad cleverly retorted "CEO," it was hard not to aggressively high-five our laptop and mobile devices. The words "hell" and "yeah" could be heard all across the nation."

Why Can't I Write More Like This Guy?

7/23/2014

Thanks to a tip from Scott Gable I went to the University Bookstore to hear Joe Abercrombie read and answer questions tonight. This guy's amazing: a really good reader, a clever and engaging speaker, and if I could write characters half as well I'd be a happy woman. If you don't read Abercrombie, you should. If you do, pick up his latest.

(As an aside, to hear a writer I admire, who has already written seven damned good books, say that writing doesn't pay enough to be a full-time job makes me very angry. Support good writers, dammit!)

Awesome Rejections

Filing this one under "Awesome Rejections":

Hi, Torah -

Thank you for submitting "the Interpreter" for our consideration. Although we found it quite intriguing, we are unable to consider it at this time because the next two issues are filled.

We recommend that you submit it to other publications. If no one has bought it by November of this year, please submit again, and we will be glad to consider it.

Best regards,

The Editors

    I read. I write. And sometimes I talk about it.
