Via Ron Hogan at Galleycat. Pure awesome. (And 100% true, I swear!)

Janet said...: Why suuuuuuuuure...

How all of this information has escaped my attention until now is a mystery.

Can I get a ride on one of those boats to Switzerland?; January 12, 2009 at 6:32 PM
Vieva said...: can I get one of those lumberjacks? :)

Also, I want that babysitter. Heck with publication, someone's going to buy my clothes for me and take care of my kid? I'm all over that! :D

L.C. Gant said...: Ooh, I want a babysitter and someone to buy my clothes for me, too! Actually, can I get an advance on those things now so I'll have more time to write my novel (and look good while I'm doing it)?

And seriously, having the author and editor communicate via Twitter doesn't sound like a half bad idea... Many of us live there anyway.; January 12, 2009 at 8:58 PM

And you've stolen the name of my blog for part of your title here. I'm grateful for the plug: but not sure I should associate myself with whatever it is that you're all looking at!; January 13, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Lee Wind said...: funny! It all makes perfect sense, doesn't it? I liked the low-down on the editor/author relationship... so glad they get to choose the character names!
thanks for sharing this,
Namaste,
