As a leaf slowly falls, much butt is kicked

[megwrites]

I shall call this mode: "Person with one leg in a butt kicking contest". I was sick as a dog the night before, which means yesterday I got nothing done.

Ergo, today I'm scrambling to get back on schedule with the revisions of the Tower!Guy novel. I realize I set aside my deadline as being unimportant, given the givens, but part of me just needs to be done with revisions, needs to send this out, needs to have this over with.

I just want to work on a new project, on writing words that I haven't gone over with a fine tooth comb fifty times already.

Apropos of nothing: I think the Tor.com site could be a much better if they stopped letting a certain someone post reviews of TV shows that are not even remotely SF/F or SF/F related. I've tried to get into the site because there's some free short fiction there and things, but honestly? As long as they keep letting one of their contributors post reviews of a mainstream crime drama just because it's her favoritest show ever and apparently her thoughts on it are so deep and enlightening that they must be shared at every turn, whether they're relevant or not, I'm out. I can't take the site seriously, because nobody's ever explained to me why they think one person's opinion about a non-SF/F show should be on a site specifically dedicated to SF/F. I swear to god, next there'll be posts about rock climbing. [/bitchery].

I really should get back to work. When I start snarking like this, it means I'm not busy enough.

But they'll be Very Special Rocks. Worthy of an ABC Afterschool Special.

Feel better.

Isn't that person one of two people posting about crime shows, with the other posting about Dexter? If you don't like the poster, then you don't. But as I recall, she started posting those reviews after realizing that Tor.com was covering another crime show; so I don't think it's quite fair to suggest that she's solely responsible for hindering you from taking the site seriously.
