25th-Jun-2010 03:59 pm - Alas, I have tricked you once again!
stinky cute

This is not my real blog. No, no, my real blog is over here: The Swivet. And I even made a handy LiveJournal syndicated feed for it.

I tend to cross-post Swivet posts here on LJ as links. My other LiveJournal entries are friends-locked and mostly deadly dull. But do leave a comment of you'd like to be added. Or, if you'd like to know more about my agenting, you can go here.

Cheers!

18th-Oct-2009 10:28 pm - When compassion dies, we're all lessened as human beings: why we need legal gay marriage now.
posterize small
Enough.

Enough.

Enough of your hate-based religious objections. Enough of your soap-boxes. Enough of your homophobic excuses. Enough of your deconstructionist nitpicking at country, state and federal laws. Enough of your obsession with making an entire class of people legally-lesser-beings.

Enough.

You want a HUMAN reason that we need a federal law recognizing same-sex marriage now? You want a reason that any compassionate God would agree with? READ THIS NOW. If you aren't completely furious by the end of this essay, you simply aren't human. And frankly, I don't want to know you.

And by the way? You can let Jackson Memorial Hospital know how you feel by calling them directly. Here's the phone number:

6th-Oct-2009 11:45 am - Writers! Do you have Cart-Before-the-Horse-itis?
zombie
Don't have time for anything more than a link to another agent's wonderful post today. Holly Root, a great agent over at the Waxman Agency, has written a MUST-READ post for writers, especially those of you who've just sold your first book and now have grandiose (if unrealistic) ideas about being able to pump out four to six books a year between two or more publishers. This, my friend, is Cart-Before-the-Horse-itis, and a recipe for disaster. Don't let Cart-Before-the-Horse-itis strike you!
