"Having your heart repeatdly broken, evidently, can be rewarding. Congratulations to our very own Breakup Babe. She just got a book deal with Random House based on her blog. The book will be called Breaking Up, Blogging On. Well done!"
Everytime the v.c. blogspot is engaged, the above link and congratulatory salutations appear. From your irreverent host, "Good job, breakup babe, and breast, er, best of luck." I've been trying to get a deal with R.H. for years. But no dice. Once, they returned my manuscript to the Pond with a big "Huh?" as its lead.
To see what makes a good writer, I took the obligatory perusal through B.B.'s archives, noticing in one of her forays she used the term, passive-aggressive, to describe one of her boyfriends.
And she used "yours truly," in the same post. And even spoke some freedom fries, er, french. "Mais oui, mon ami."
And there is a lot of sex in her posts. She uses "f*cking" a lot. And she uses catchy names for her beaus. "Sexy Blue-Eyed Boy" and "Library Boy" to name accopola.
I'm wondering if B.B. unwittingly read my stuff from back in the day and lifted it as her own. There are plagiarism laws, you know.
And passive-aggressive? Could have been stolen from any of v.c.'s trademark forays.
And, Shirley, "accopola" will see the light-of-day in her new book.
In summary, congrats to you, B.B. And if you need more material or are experiencing "writer's block," just tune in to the Pond.
Farewell and adieu, v.c.
P.S. If sex is what you're looking for, look no farther. Scroll through my archives for "Screwing Oil."
