You still at that address? <BR/><BR/>DO NOT FEEL BAD!!! DO NOT LOOSE SLEEP OVER THIS!!! It's water under the bridge and a funny little anecdote now.Christy Raedekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263316476947361971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368354560485761030.post-61745243358797778432008-06-15T01:47:00.000-07:002008-06-15T01:47:00.000-07:00Gad. It could have been because she's, you know, a...Gad. It could have been because she's, you know, a freakin' nut case. (Sigh) Really, she must be, you know? Why else is she such a whacked-out freakazoid. <BR/><BR/>(A realization I'd alreay gotten, really. Even before following Eve's Disco Mermaid blog post link this afternoon to this blog and getting a whole new slant on it when getting to the April entries. Stressed all evening, went to bed but couldn't sleep so here we are.)<BR/><BR/>I liked you instantly too. It wasn't you or the book...mostly. But NOT in a way that was ABOUT you. And sort of not about the book (which I already had read at least 10 times and dipped into another 20+, so I <B>completely</B> agree with you on the fabulousness of the book. Which was part of the problem. And I <B>ADORED</B> and was amazed at your thoughtful and sweet gift!!).<BR/><BR/>Christy, I'm so sorry. For the icky cringe weird part. I am really, really sorry. I'm sorry for not reaching out nor realizing that it would affect you as it did. There's no excuse for that part of it. I apologize.<BR/><BR/>I can explain about the book piece. Though it's gonna make me sound like, well, see description above in first paragraph. <BR/><BR/>(fingers rubbing forehead) <I>Carolyn See wrote you <B>back</B> about this? You know, I've actually <B>been</B> the 'other woman' before...but this puts a whole new spin on it.</I><BR/><BR/>And the rest of it. But, if you'd rather just let it all alone now, that's fine. Really. I just apologize. Know that I've thought of the workshop and your terrific writing and you, too.<BR/><BR/>Mmmmm, hi. It's me. I think. I mean, I think it's me you wrote about here. Maybe not. Maybe you have a slew of nutty writerish women in your ecclectic past? <BR/><BR/>Big Sur December 2006?<BR/>Possibly identifying item: Did I not tell you that you had kicked over 70 peoples collective ass when you skipped the Saturday night woo-hoo over the not-much-substance-(okay, any)-to-the-books-but-ridiculously-successful-author presentation to rewrite your critiqued pages (and much more, like 80 pages worth) into the most original Barbie-knee-crackin' dozen pages ever...which put that thoughful gleam in Laura's eye at the Sunday morning critique group? Like a real fiction writer does it?! Award-winning even? Right? Right!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and we were so unable to deal with a whole room of stranger writers at the dinner, we ate at a table OUTSIDE of the dining hall in a weird space between the lobby and dining stuff. Which actually was way cooler with the fireplace and nice table/chairs and we could actually hear each other talk.<BR/><BR/>(Sheepish wave) Okay, gonna go now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368354560485761030.post-10186175940586785002008-04-04T16:40:00.000-07:002008-04-04T16:40:00.000-07:00I second Christy on this one.

Can you believe it? I...Hey CR!<BR/><BR/>I've never read it. Can you believe it? I thought I'd read every single book about writing on the planet. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure your not hearing from this fellow writer has nothing to do with sending her a book. That is such a sweet gesture, and I'm guessing the book isn't offensive or anything. Or maybe it is. I haven't looked at it yet. <BR/><BR/>Maybe she's moved and lost your number. In a coma. Trapped under something heavy... Who knows? Writers are strange creatures.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip. I'm off to fetch this book right now!<BR/><BR/>EveDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.com
