5. - Um. Hi, this is pumpkin pie. No, it is NOT apple, cherry or mince. I am so sorry it is not apple, cherry or mince - and your dislike of pumpkin really is sad, but has nothing to do with me. And is honestly bewildering. Have a nice day.

I was taught to take situations like these, and just twist them that half crank more to really see the whack for what it is. You would not question someone complaining about it not being a sentient Madagascar Palm for their pointy enjoyment - because that's CRAZY. So are bad 'reviews' like this. Nucking futz as you will.

4. My two cents is this is envy of the knowledge and control you DO have - and I don't think you're singular about the snapping. When it really gets bad, head for the absurd. Start a page of tally marks to wave in people's faces. Why yes, yes I have. (In my world, I'm the place everything begins and ends and I have to know where the bodies are buried...so everyone asks me why it don't work. Over and over and over and - )

1. Best thing I got out of my creative writing class in my freshman year. Writers may create incredible things, but they are boring as dirt at cocktail parties because all they want to talk about is what they're working on. And can't tell you the best parts, of course. So read the sports page and be prepared to discuss the scores with great enthusiasm. Yes, you get to be an excellent actor in the process. It'll be useful in a story someday. True story.

Oddly enough, I took Lindt truffles into the fan fic panel over the weekend. Bribe? ME?

Last year it was cupcakes. ^^
