lkh_lashoutsBlog Flog: STRANGE CANDY (so important, it needs all caps, baby!)
Link: http://blog.laurellkhamilton.org/2006/10/strange-candy.html
LKH in bold.
Jon and I dressed up. He did a suit and I even did stiletto heels.
I admit it. I initially misread that as "Jon did a slut" and then told myself to be nice.
Although "did" should not be the verb of choice for "stiletto heels" in LKH's world, because you never know when it's literal.
people just didn't feel compelled to come out and play. Or it maybe that this is the third event we've had in St. Louis this year.
Or maybe people are just getting sick of your theatrics. Even her drama isn't anything new, so if you've already seen her once at an event, why go again? Oh, black wardrobe! Oh, bodyguards! Oh, the doting Jon! Take a picture and instead of going to the event, look at the pic. It's cheaper.
So many familiar faces remarked over and over
Maybe because you're really not attracting that many new readers. I don't care what "the numbers" say. Most supernatural fans I've talked to in my area are ashamed that LKH is in the genre.
I suppose there are writers that would have been upset at a smaller crowd, but they have to be writers that have not done four hundred, or more people night after night.
I don't even have to say it, do I?
We'll do some place warm where we won't get snowed in.
Along with "meat" and "spill", I vote that LKH is henceforth banned from using "do".

So many familiar faces... [........] Maybe because you're really not attracting that many new readers.
BULLSEYE. Absolutely.
She's so...oblivious. I constantly marvel that someone can be that out of touch with reality.
Jon and I are secure enough to let this one be a smaller signing.
O.O Wow. That's...I can't even articulate the amount of fucked-up-ness in that one sentence. Although, being me, I will try.
1. "Jon and I": What does Jon have to do with your writing career? (Besides apparently EVERYTHING.) Trust me, honey, no one's there to see Jon.
2. "Secure enough": Wow, overcompensating much?
3. "Let this be": Gee, how gracious of you.
Any time LKH mentions her self-esteem, it's in a petulant, childish way: "I AM secure! I AM!" She presents conflicting views of herself: either a totally self-confident kick-ass womyn with the uberperfect life and the Goddess's blessing; or a poor maligned little girl whose life has been nothing but hardship and death and feeling "ugly inside." There is no inbetween.
You know, when your fanbase is starting to psychoanalyze your personal life based on the content of your books, that's maybe a good sign that the therapy didn't work as well as you thought.

It really is. Sad, isn't it?

You're not the only one. O___o
