• 20:20 Wow, temp is dropping--50F and counting. So glad for blankets for high-80s-adapted horses tonight. #
• 12:26 How Not to Get an Agent: RT @dianarowland If she has so much anger re agents, how will she survive editing/reviews/&c.? bit.ly/8XxzZ3 #
• 12:27 FF won't tweet for me again. Don't Tweet for Me, Firefoxtina? #
• 14:01 Hello, yellow spot on the weather radar. I haven't seen you for a while. Wasn't expecting you before June. Mind turning up the heat a tad? #
• 14:11 @innaj And WET! Sleeting in Vail. #tucson #
• 14:14 Cold rain and sleet. Horses in blankets. < Homemade cinnamon rolls. Peruvian Organic from @unique_coffee #
• 14:17 @green_knight Ad hominem rants, no less. With names and addresses. And she wonders why she can't land an agent. #
• 14:24 @ChuckGeorgeKOLD 45 and sleeting in Vail just N of the Pantano. My horses want to know why you turned the heat off! They want it back! #
• 14:29 @matociquala In comments, she clearly thinks she's clever. Some suggest it's satire. Not working as such if so. #
• 14:31 RT @ChuckGeorgeKOLD Snowing on Mt. Lemmon and Mt. Bigelow -- April's fooling with us. #
• 14:37 @green_knight But it's a heartbreaking work of staggering genius! It doesn't need to be revised! Ever! #
• 14:38 @ceffyl1 Recipe uses bread machine to mix and knead dough, then fill, roll, and bake. Om nom nom. One pan to bake, one to freeze for later. #
• 14:47 @matociquala Word. Even if the book were brilliant (it sounds fairly standard not-quite-there-yet), the 'tude would be an ongoing issue. #
• 14:48 @ceffyl1 I LURVE my bread machine. Is a huge draw at Camp. :) #
• 14:50 Professional conduct online is important. If you must vent, friendslock it. Or email. #tipsforaspiringwriters #
• 14:52 @green_knight Sometimes (OK, rarely), it really is just not a fit. Mostly? Yes. Back to the drawing board. #
• 15:14 The Writing Mentor is having a sale! dancinghorse.livejournal.com/276993.html #
• 16:50 @Oz_Drummond Safeway carries rhubarb every so often. (I don't like cooked strawberries. I take my rhubarb pie straight.) #
• 16:52 @Oz_Drummond I can be satire-blind, so wasn't judging. But the language skills are lacking. Along with the professionalism. And that 'tude. #

I was about to say that this person's blog writing turned me off with her lack of style, wit, and/or anything approaching language skills. Then I was worried that I, another unpublished writer, was being presumptuous.

Then I read your tweet to Oz_Drummond, and I've been grinning to myself for the last five minutes.

Pissing off agents . . . that takes a special kind of stupid, there. Sure, the paradigm is changing for publishing, but unless you're (a) a writer with a really large following or (b) just so good your reputation reaches to the ends of the Internet, there's no amateur who should want to antagonize the people who can get you some money and your name in print for years of work.

oooh, editing a novel is a "long arduous process". ROFLMAO! I agree, no wit and a real sense of entitlement. Verbal diarrhea.

(I'm not a writer nor do I play one on TV...)
