  1. Dear NY Senate: Just when I didn't think my opinion of you could get any lower, you manage another big fail. Congratulations!
  2. Sending a correction to the query you sent an hour ago doesn't make you look very professional. Proof before you send. #pubtip
  3. The same query you sent a month ago will get you the same rejection you got a month ago.
  4. "Paranormal fantasy" is a genre label now? When did that happen? Dammit, urban fantasy and paranormal romance aren't the same thing!
  5. No matter how many times defenders of Harlequin's "Dellarte Press" call it self-publishing, it's still a vanity press.
  6. Whether you've got an agent or not, read this comment by @ColleenLindsay on @RachelleGardner's post: http://is.gd/5867l
  7. A slightly-belated link to a great piece about slush by The Rejectionist: http://is.gd/57Wph
  8. A fine rant by @RachelleGardner "about writers who blame agents for all their publishing frustrations:" http://is.gd/57Uze
  9. It actually felt weird to be reading a published novel, which was disturbing.
  10. That's what I get for rewarding myself for finishing a full on the holiday by starting an actual book.
  11. Returning after the long weekend to find less new queries than I feared, but more reading piling up.
  12. There's politely asking an agent for an update on the status of your ms. (which is fine), and then there's nagging.
  13. RT @victoriastrauss: New UK bill re copyright collecting societies may have unexpected impact on authors' agents http://tinyurl.com/ycxfplz
  14. It's the last day of work until next week....except for the reading I'll be doing over the long holiday weekend.
  15. *facepalm* RT @victoriastrauss: I love RWA for its stance on Harlequin Horizons, but this...not so much http://tinyurl.com/yz8vhf2 #rwafail
  16. An interesting take (if one I disagree with) by @JaneFriedman on Harlequin's vanity publishing venture http://bit.ly/5hB8qW
  17. Best. New Moon. Review. Ever. http://is.gd/526K2
  18. .@CPatrickSchulze Having said that, agents don't want giant piles of work after holidays/vacations/conferences any more than anyone else.
  19. .@CPatrickSchulze In general, there aren't best and worst times to query.
  20. Dear Twitter: This bug that causes some people who aren't in any way spammers to not show up on searches? Please actually fix it.
