If I do something particularly stupid but nobody else sees it and only I know about it, did it really happen? But ... if the dog was a witness and she looks at me and grins, does that mean it might have happened? I'm sticking with it didn't happen, and I ain't changing my story. As long as she doesn't speak English, I'm not caving to any doggie blackmail, either.
Miss Begotten is one of my pet names for myself, for Southern Gothic reasons best kept to myself. Miss Begotten tries to speak plainly, but sometimes she tends to babble -- parenthetically, of course. It's never my intention to offend (and usually that's true - except on those [maybe not so] rare occasions when I mean it very friggin' much) but it sometimes happens, so if you're unusually easily offended...

Did? Didn't!

Sherrrrrrry?
What "might" you have done?
Maybe I can be of some help in determining either the stupidity or the reality of your action?
PERSONALLY...
I have a tough time thinking that you would even remotely do something stupid...:P:P:P:P:P
My cats see me do stupid stuff and as long as they get fed they keep quiet. LOL
I did a blog interview. It was horrible, but I hate being asked questions about how to write. Honestly, I could care less about someone else and their writing career. That's what writing forums are for. I want people to read my book-not teach them how to write their own. So am I horrible or what?!!
Only the dog knows, G-man, and she ain't talking. And hey, I'm not blind -- I see all those stuck-out tongues.:P
That's the key right there, Roxan -- keep their bellies full and they'll keep their mouths shut.:-)
No, I don't think you're horrible. One can either write, or one can't. I don't believe it can be taught.
What really irked me was the blog kept calling Kickshaw Candies scifi. Even after I corrected it when I was writing my response. I have a hard enough time calling it a fantasy!
So have you been keeping up with what's going on. Amanda Hockings and the one about the author who went postal over a review? Fun stuff! LOL
Hockings-Way over-rated. Kudos to her success, but come on even crappy vampire stories sell like crazy.
Alas, no, I haven't kept up with all the behind-the-scenes drama; you'll have to fill me in on who insulted whom. In other words, I've been stuck in the middle of a dry spell and just ... vegetating. I AM working again, though, and feeling just a teensy bit of excitement about it.:)
Hi Sherry! So glad you lured me over here. Mind if I hijack your blog a minute (?) to talk to Roxanne because I have not talked to her in f-o-r-e-v-e-r! Roxanne! You. Look. Gorgeous. I never knew you're that pretty. So you've got a book out now? It's Kickshaw Candies? Where is it available? I love reading and reviewing friend's books.
I know how you feel about teaching other people to write! After what I just said, this isn't going to make a lick of sense, but for the longest time I resented reading other writer's work. I had two crit partners who kept me so busy that I never had time to do my own writing. I finally said goodbye to both of them. Then my insane life got in the way, and I haven't been writing at all or keeping up with the industry gossip--and boy do I want to hear whatever it is you were talking about). I'm hoping to get my life back on track this summer, and start writing again. I limit my reading to the 30-40 minutes a day I get while on break at work...and it's perfect. I enjoy the reading then, and it doesn't interfere with the rest of what I have to do.
It sure is good to see both you ladies!
Hey, Lesia, it's good to see you again, too. You already know I'm a horrible e-mail correspondent, but I'm trying to do better.:)
