Interview? Throwdown?
Sean Lindsay tries -- and fails, pretty much -- to browbeat me today over at 101 Reasons to Stop Writing.

- "Your editor probably isn’t like your writing buddy who’ll crit but also let you know when you’ve done something well. Editors tend to have some strange idea that this is a business and want you to do things like clarify, or they say things like this is a poor transition, or this part doesn’t work for me—or any number of skillfully worded versions of WTF. Edits can make you wonder if being in this business is really worth it. They can also bring out the best in your writing. All you have to do is survive them." -- author Raine Weaver

Excellent answers to super snarky questions!!
I can't decide if I'm in total awe or if I want to laugh until it hurts.
And you sucker punched him WONDERFULLY!
I don't usually go for that form of humor, but I'll follow you wherever you go cause I know I'll enjoy it when I get there.
BTW, Evermore is simply marvelous. My favorite of all the Darkyn novels. I'll try and get my thoughts about it up on my blog soon, but I just had to say something :D.
Cheers,
Margaret
Loved it!
Bravo!
I especially love the part about death and the brain transplant. You have confirmed my suspicions that writers don't retire, they just die.
BTW Does Sean Lindsay need a 'Happy Meal'?
What Shoes Would Jesus Wear With That?! I'm dying.
Wonderfully snarky!
WOW!
Ooh, snarky! Good grief, that would have used up my smart ass quota for the week! ;)
LMAO, that was fantastic. I think I'm crushing on the both of you.
Well done and so very funny! I worship you! I'd stalk you, but my stalking list is full until I get that next protective order.
*bows down and leaves Choos at your feet*
OMG my word verification is SATYN
I think you win the Internet for the day, Lynn. ;)
Hey peoples,
I think the point is that Sean made all the answers up himself.
Bwahaha! Way to roll with the punches. I was in fits over the What Shoes Would Jesus Wear With That response. Snarktastic hilarity :)
Spectacular.
Stupid questions handled like a pro! Very entertaining. :)
It annoys me that he is trying to tell people what to read. I find your stories original and entertaining especially your stardoc series.
Re: Kaleb, "I think the point is that Sean made all the answers up himself."
This is neither "the point", nor particularly accurate, in the sense that you're entirely wrong.
Chuckles...that was great. Have a good vacation!
Very funny!
I found the link to 101 off of Editorial Anon's blog.
Being able to turn the other snark like that is not easy. You win. You totally win.
Totally loved your interview. Great reading!
