If you don't like what I'm dishing out, then don't stir the pot.

We are all sweet cuddly bunnies and I will hurt anyone who says otherwise.

For starters, I am a lady (no worries, it's common mistake in this thread). I had to stop eating pork for health reasons, and I cut out red meat around the same time and eventually lost the taste for both. Chicken, turkey, and fish are enough for me. I like veggies too. It's giving up carbs that would end up breaking me, not meat.

I could go vegetarian if I really had to (I currently eat fish and poultry...had to give up red meat and pork). But full on vegan...no eggs or diary? Couldn't do it.

I...I can't even tell if this is an innuendo or not.

You can be a tyrant and smell bad. Just sayin'

There is a wide range of stories on GA.

I'm there for Stanger Things, but that's about it.

I once laid down to take a late day nap as I wasn't feeling well. I had taken my glasses off and tucked them in next to my stomach. When I woke up, I reflexively put them on and then spent about 5 minutes searching for them. In my sleep addled state, I thought the reason I couldn't see was because I wasn't wearing my glasses and not because it was getting dark.

Take it to the ballot box.

I responded to @Albert1434 but then I thought I wasn't being clear with my thoughts, so I tried to go back and edit it, but it ended up as a response to the original comment, which I erased. Moral of the story is that Cassie was sleep deprived and shouldn't use technology while in that state.

Seriously. I recently had to put down a project because I was getting burnt out. I put it aside to work on something else. I don't know if I would have been able to do that if people were hoping to see more of the original project. I love it when readers are invested, but it does put some pressure on me as a writer.

Not gonna lie...kind of glad I don't have this problem.

I'm the Queen and I approve.

Of course. No one is crazier than I.

I see I failed to list. Time to step up my game.

I had a coworker who was 100% convinced Abe was gay. Apparently, in one of his letters to a friend of his, he mentioned his appreciation for his...thighs. Take that as you will.

That laugh though...*shudders*

Oof...that's a deep level of affection right there. I can't STAND Spongebob.

A fun sounding word

God. I can't even remember. That's sad. I do remember being a fan of EB White's books, but not much before that.

Great article. Interestingly, I had a situation where I kinda caved to what readers wanted. I had written Murder in the Woods for one of the anthologies with a major cliffhanger for an ending. Readers were in an uproar and several asked for a sequel. So I wrote a type of sequel for the next anthology. It wasn't the original story that I wanted for that anthology and honestly, I didn't love it, but thought it was passable enough. The reception was lukewarm. My ride and dies were there to comment, but only 3 commenters from the first story commented on the second, and none of the ones who asked for a sequel did. I'm not sorry that I wrote Murder in the City, but consider it a lesson learned: If I don't love it, neither will my readers. I think it's fine to have a preference, as long as that doesn't mean you expect a writer to cater to that preference. Because if it's not what the writer wants to write, it's a safe bet the reader won't enjoy it either. It shows.
