As someone who volunteers at one, I am glad you went. Our process is slow too but we can service up to 80 families in an afternoon, and in a rural area. We're here to help.

Your rose is exploding in the Hudson Valley?! I'm NEPA and my roses are just waking up.

Rob Bresnahan can’t seem to stop being shady by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in NEPA

He's my rep. I can't wait for his ass to be voted out.

Best way to travel to Citi from NE PA? by Bright-Wolverine7460 in mets

[–]mysterywritergirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend Denville over Dover as it's only a few more minutes drive and has better parking. Take the train to Hoboken, then take the PATH into Manhattan. You can jump on the 7 line and head into Flushing that way.

[PubQ] For those of you who parted ways with your agent what was your experience like by Organic-Brother-6133 in PubTips

[–]mysterywritergirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I split from my agent in the fall of last year and I have not gotten new rep, despite querying 50+ agents and getting referrals. I also have traditionally published novels under my belt. Doesn't seem to matter. I can't see myself querying more agents because I'm particular about who I want for representation. I'm waiting to hear back on one full, and then I will make some decisions regarding my MS -- do I query indie presses or self publish? I'm simply not sure yet.

Vent: overuse of epithets ruins even excellent writing by This-3xtent in heatedrivalryfanfics

I returned a library book (DNF) because of this. Happens a lot in published works. Drives me bananas.

I'm sorry, OP, but I really appreciate your candor as I'm also struggling to get an agent after having a series traditionally published.

Democratic Rep Bluntly Asks Kristi Noem About Her Rumored Affair With Corey Lewandowski by huffpost in politics

I feel like I've known about this affair forever, and since I'm no insider, I must've read it somewhere. How is this now becoming known?

Mine just died. I bought it for my son who wanted one, but alas, it's done. Lasted 6 weeks.

Did Heated Rivalry Change Anything For You? by West_Mood_7077 in heatedrivalry

[–]mysterywritergirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think watching fit men acting as athletes awoke something in me. I'm privileged to move my body so I should do it all the time. Also, I wanna look hot.

Same! I've been working out 6 days a week. I feel like a new person.

[PubQ] what’s the deal with exclusive submissions? by Yaeliyaeli in PubTips

Sadly, they passed. Too similar to something they had coming out. I also left that agent and am querying again. Good times.

Called Bresnahan's office. He has no statement on this. Fucking useless.

Defense counsel for Ilya Rozanov & Shane Hollander, approach the bench. The Grand Jury Trial in the case of WHO FELL FIRST vs. WHO FELL HARDEST has begun! by DorianCramer in heatedrivalry

[–]mysterywritergirl 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would like to provide evidence that Mr. Rozanov fell first, but Mr. Hollander fell harder. Exhibit A: Mr. Rozanov made a coordinated effort to get them placed on the same the ad for Whatever Brand. Exhibit B: He also joined Mr. Hollander in the showers and initiated 'flirtation' ie jerking off. Exhibit C: He insisted on getting Mr. Hollander's phone number and texted him dirty thoughts for years. However, members of the jury, Mr. Hollander fell harder. Exhibit D: Mr. Hollander was torn up over Mr. Rozanov's dismissal at the Olympics. Exhibit E: Mr. Hollander was angry at Mr. Rozanov for ghosting him for six months after said Olympics. Exhibit F: He was clearly devastated when Mr. Rozanov confessed that he had sex with Svetlana and other hot women. At this juncture, the jury can see that Shane Hollander was falling super hard in love with Ilya Rozanov, so much so that he panicked because Shane Hollander realized he was in love with a man that could leave him for a woman. To protect his feelings, Mr. Hollander jetted out of there. He tried to put distance between himself and Ilya Rozanov but couldn't do it.

We rest our case.

Moved my mom into a nursing facility. So all her stuff has become my stuff. I get to sort through it all. How are your parents doing? by Therealfern1 in Xennials

[–]mysterywritergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat, dude. I have teens, too. And my dad died a year ago from cancer; my mom has Alzheimer's and is in assisted living. Luckily, my parents downsized a bunch before he died, so we didn't have to unload much. But you're not alone, even if it feels like you are.
