[...] Jane is not an ass. Besides, if she didn’t do something like that, I’d start wondering whether she’s an AI construct. [...]

Mock, mock, mock, mock…

Better?

Now, I need to borrow the ass picture so I can paste it in the comments section (of said post) where I put my hoof in mouth.

You did good. You stepped up and made it right. Good on ya!

Many thanks to the publishers and authors who are donating books so that us readers can play in the Rita!

Jane, as everybody else has already pointed out, there are a lot of people who throw temper tantrums online, but only very few of them apologize afterwards. So kudos to you. You’re one fine person.

And, yes, Leah is a total sweetheart.

Don’t worry, Ms. Smith, I’m bound to do something assholish in the future that I won’t apologize for or I may fall in love with your books. One of the two.

Annndddd she’s back!

Here’s a little more guilt to fire up the complex *g* – I think you’re being way too hard on yourself. I still think the RWA wanted to have their cake and eat it…

Jane, sorry but I gotta agree that it takes a big person to admit to being an ass. We’re all asses on occasion and very few ever own up to it — even if they realize it. But, just so you won’t feel *too* guilty (lol), you’re in danger of making me like you — and I really *hate* liking people who don’t like my books. ;-) Good luck with the contest. My book didn’t final, so once more I’m out in the rain…

I enjoy a good pity party myself.

If you send me the contact info, I’ll make sure you get copies of my book.

(((((((Jane))))))))))

Everyone should act like an ass once in a while. :)

And I agree with the others who’ve wrote it’s the nature of blogging. That’s how you felt at that moment in time. And it just shows how passionate you are about the subject, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

“I’d like to thank all the publishers and authors for offering copies of their books for us to give away.”

Now see I will agree with you there. Those guys deserve praise.

But… Jane you are not someone to fly off the handle easily.

So I will not say the RWA deserves anything but to continued being ignored like it has so many deserving writers.

Bad blogging??? I don’t think so. It has been interesting to see the hard work behind what should prove to be an enjoyable contest – from idea, to disappointment, to retrenching, to a wonderful response from the publishers.

Jane, what you’ve done is a thing of rare beauty. You ranted and raved, cooled down, and took responsibility for flying off the handle. Congratulations for not being ashamed to apologize for an emotional outburst. However, every once in a while we’re all entitiled a miserable day without needing to apologize.

Pity parties are a blogger’s right, don’t apologise for it!

Good of the pubs to offer up the books though, but like Robin said, would it have happened if you hadn’t blogged about it? Maybe, maybe not.

What? You’re not entitled to bitch? We’re all entitled to bitch. It takes us to a happy place when we do. I do it a lot as a matter of fact. :-)

And look, the whole thing turned out awesome for all parties. Well done Jane!

[quote comment="25552"]Please, no more. I feel guilty as it is. And your nice comments are making me feel even more guilty. As for free books, :), we all love free books.[/quote]

Your an ass.

And I agree with Robin… write this day down! Next you know Keishon and I will like the same book.

LOL nice of the publishers to come out and play. Nice of RWA to allow you to pimp them and their finalists. But you are an ass for feeling guilty.

loveses ya anyway

Well done Jane.

I’ll be sure to pass the word to any of my friends who are finalists, in case they’d like to donate books as well.
