Fuck Sherlock Holmes, Lucy Liu should play Kate Monday (or genderbent George Frankly) in a MathNet reboot.

Sent out my first agency query.
Lucy Liu playing Watson may result in a massive...
I feel like the Charlie’s Angels franchise she took part in invalidates the need for an American Sherlock Holmes.
Other than another proofread of the book, I should have three queries ready to go soonish.
Whenever people are talking about who should be...
Even if you completely ignore that it’s always some straight white male blah blah fishcakes, the very notion of trying to determine who such a person would be is laughable.

People need to stop telling me shocking gossip...
Among other things, I’m literally acknowledged in my group as one of the people you tell something to so that, guaranteed, everyone will know quickly and you won’t have to repeat the same story or explanation or tragic event.
I’m not going to say anything about this particular thing, but that caveat always irritates me a little.
whatsurdamage replied to your post: Estimated time before someone writes fan-fiction featuring John Watson from Earth-2 meeting Joan Watson of Earth-1 while their respective Sherlocks try to stop the Moriartys of Two Worlds.
A shock of white light & the world shifted. They stumbled to their feet, Joan grabbing Sherlock’s arm to haul him up. The street was unfamiliar but Big Ben loomed in...
In better news, I just sent one of the stories...
So that’s something.
Researching literary agencies is incredibly disheartening.

Then I could see why the CBS Sherlock casting would be super dubious. As it is - yeah, I’m just unfollowing anyone who complains about the fact that CBS is going with Lucy Liu rather than a white dude.

Wait. New American Sherlock Holmes is a CBS thing?
Ugh.

And so it begins (calm prior to storm; heartbreak...
As I mentioned the other day, I completed a draft of my fiction manuscript, Strawberry World, and I’m now at the point where I promised myself I’d begin querying potential literary agents. From what I’ve seen among my friends and people I know, it’s better to have an agent than not have one (except for poetry, because nobody cares about poetry).
So, I’m compiling a...

CJ: I feel like I'm the heroine who doesn't know there's a guy behind the refrigerator with an axe.
Kate: It--it could be the weather. People often feel like that when it's damp.

All three of the Happy Endings Men are really cute.
I just read through 68 pages of backlog. Somebody bring me dinner.
Man, am I ever bored of Anjelina Jolie right now.
Apparently Tumblr was horrible today?
I don’t know, other than the expected post-Oscars “But can someone explain to me why Blackface is wrong?” bullshit, I’m not seeing anything unsually heinous, but maybe I’ve just grown jaded and bored of Tumblr’s rage-dramas over jerkfaces. Or I’m only following good people.

Sorry, I am just having a good, hard laugh at the thought of ailanthusaltissima being a sociopath.

When I’m writing query letters this week, I will probably need to be reminded to not write them in all-caps and start off with I’M SORRY MY BOOK’S SO SHITTY, GUY.
