Another internet thing I could add to the list is I’m thankful for online bookstores, both print and ebooks. I do have access to some great UBS in my area but sometimes that elusive OOP or HTF book just isn’t there locally. Now, I can generally find a copy and it’s just a matter of how much I’m willing to pay (plus s/h) for it. [G]

Thanks. It’s easy to bitch about romance, so it’s nice to be reminded of the absolutly fab stuff.

Hilarious. This shows my complete lack of sci fi knowledge, but who is captain Mal?

2. I’m thankful there are many planets I can conquer
3. I’m thankful for those platform boots that make me taller than everyone, even Darth Vader
4. I’m thankful to whomever invented those cool superweapons
5. I’m thankful that everyone in the galaxy can speak English
6. I’m thankful to whomever created my star-shaped spaceship; it’s the coolest ever
7. I’m thankful for an army of advisors to whom I never listen
8. I’m thankful my silver-and-red outfit; it’s the coolest ever
9. I’m thankful Jar Jar Binks doesn’t work for me
10. I’m thankful I’m way better looking than Darth Vader, Captain Kirk and Captain Mal and others

Nice list, and it reminds me to be grateful. Here are ten things I love about writing.
1. I get to make things up.
2. They pay me.
3. Readers–the loyal, the picky, the demanding.
4. Booksellers–the hardworking and essential bridge to the reader.
5. Publishers–without them I could still make things up, but nobody would pay me, and I’d have no readers.
6. Seeing my work for the first time in book form, each time, all shiny and new.
7. Writers–the fun, the strange, the smart, the foolish.
8. Making my living in my own home.
9. Going anywhere I want to go–and never leaving the keyboard.
10. The internet, for its information, communication and–come on–channel to gossip.
