what is with the @@%#^@& can we not use curse words on this blog?

CONGRATS, Eloisa… I loved your story in Talk of the Ton and I absolutely can’t wait for Kiss Me, Annabel!

Congratulations for the second head, Elizabeth! At least it’s nothing illegal this time! *GGG*

Sandy,
who’s finally figured out how to post here and will be late for her class because of it

Hey anonymous--you’re the first person I’ve heard from who’s read it, so yippee!

And as for the rest of you nasty bloggers, na na nananan!

Why can’t we curse, when it comes to that?  Would we attract spam?

Eloisa, computer clueless

Thank you, Sandy!  I’ll take my accomplishments and accolades in this business wherever I can find them.

As for swearing, well, speaking for myself, I don’t mind extreme profanity (and often rely on it gratuitously when I’m in a Very Bad Mood).  But I know it still offends many people, including some of my readers (and definitely my mom and my Aunt Dot), so I try to refrain from using it when I write and interact with the public.  Plus, using the uppercase symbols can provide an opportunity for humor which, call me crazy, I’m just drawn to. 

But if anyone else wants to be a potty mouth, I’m certainly not going to do the policing.  That falls to our blog dominatrix, who knew the job was dangerous when she took it.  (And, boy, you should have seen HER language while she was setting all this up and we were telling her all the changes we wanted her to make.  Now THAT’S a !@#$&#xin;’ potty mouth.}

ok ok ok. Elizabeth....you’re so funny you’ve convinced me to give your contemps a try (i’m generally not a contemp kind of girl...).

your time blogging paid off!! LOL (Be sure to tell Bigfoot!)

Ooo, thanks, Michelle!  (Hey, you guys, it’s working!  It’s working!  They’re falling for it!  They’re actually going to buy our books!) Ahem.  IMNSHO, you should start with MY MAN PENDLETON or HOW TO TRAP A TYCOON.  Those are my faves.  My last one, JUST LIKE A MAN was pretty good, too.  Whatever you do, stay away from THE THING ABOUT MEN.  I was under duress when I wrote that one.

Actually (hanging head) Elizabeth is the only blogger here I don’t read…

JUST LIKE A MAN!!!

Or

MY MAN PENDLETON!!!

Hey, Liz, have you noticed my favs always include “man” in the title? I wonder what that means ...

Then it’s working even better than I thought, Michelle, because you’re focusing on me, me, me!  (And that’s the mating warble of the squawkers, you know.  “Meemeemee.  Meemeemeeeeeee.  Well, okay, not the MATING call, because we’re all too self-absorbed for that.  It’s more like a “Call-Attention-to-Me” warble.  We hear it constantly.)

And it means, Christina, that 90% of my single-titles include the word MAN in the title.  Though my next one doesn’t.  It’s called YOU’VE GOT MALE.  Totally different concept, obviously.
