About Me
- moonrat
- I'm a recovering editorial assistant. I'm like most of my kind: impoverished coffee-and-gin survivalists, underpaid but ambitious, bitter but hopeful. Painfully self-conscious, woefully self-congratulatory, willfully self-indulgent. Yes, I'm white, but I'm trying to get over it. Accurate spelling (to the dismay of my boss) is not among my interests. So read forgivingly.

Sweet post. I'm on it!
We're already friends, but I'd friend you again if I could. :)
I just added you. Thanks for asking and happy to have you on my friends list as well. Yours is the first blog I read everyday - not because it's first on the list, but because I enjoy it most.
Done! I've only been reading you a little while, but I've quite enjoyed your blog. I'm Angela Korra'ti on Facebook.
Why don't you add a followers widget so you can see all the people who read this blog every day?
Another faithful reader happy to make you feel wanted and appreciated. :) -- Jena
Done and done. :-)
I'm feeling all needy today, too! But we're already facebook friends, so I'll have to figure out something else...
Absolutely!
Already friended, in your group, and following your facebook blog network. :)
But does this help any?
And I'm hawking your facebook group on my blog. ;)
Not a problem, I am off to FB to add you right now. I also have you listed as one of my seven tags for the "I Love this Blog" Contest. BUT....I'm too stupid to know how to post the image on my (or anyone else's) blog.
It's here, though
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbEuZmpJWVc/STQSdklfiRI/AAAAAAAAAC4/t3boHc1UtSg/s1600-h/loveblog%5B1%5D.jpg
Because I do--heart this blog I mean.
Happy Friday!
done and done. and I already follow your blog via netvibes. stealthy, I am.
Wow, thanks for asking. I added you as a friend.
Aw, you're making me learn Facebook?
For you... okay. Done.
;-)
you be friended:)
Yay - happy to!
Craziness! I was just wondering last night whether or not you had a Facebook. Off to friend.
It will be my pleasure :)
I heard the call and friended you Moonie!
Sure!
Happy to do so. Thanks for asking.
Miss Moon,
Ain't on Facebook, but if ya come over to www.jacketflap.com, (it's free), and join, I'll friend ya...
Me... http://www.jacketflap.com/profile.asp?member=PYXX
There are even some agents listed, all kinds of folks really!
Haste yee back ;-)
You mean you want me to be a lurker there as well? :)
You asked for it!
I read your blog every morning. Just opened a facebook page--adding you today. Thanks for your wonderful blog. Wishing you the best during these tough times.
k.
Already done!
:-)
NPR just did a segment on the book business, in which Jonathan Burnham (sp?) went over the subjects of returns and digital books--all subjects which you have covered well in advance of mainstream media. So, once again, your readers are well informed before the rest of the public. Well done (and who's to say he didn't come and read what you wrote anyway?)
Added you. I'm not on Facebook, all too much, but if you use your twitter, I'll definitely add you there!
Just for you, I am now on facebook, too, and have added you as a friend.
I am Amy Paul over there.
I felt this way after I saw all the love Cindy got once she made it on Facebook. :( Thank goodness we're already friended or I'd feel even less cool.
(As in - hey, Cindy's got 70bazillion admirers - but, I'm friends with Moonie, so I'm good....)
I'm getting a bit hooked on facebook too.
I'd be rapt if we could be friends. I'm a bit into ferrets, but moonrats are pretty close!
You have no idea who I am, but I discovered your site through Chelsea, saw your Facebook plea, and followed through because I like your blog that much.
LONG LIVE THE MOONRAT!
and aerin, you made me laugh. i don't have that many friends!
You have no idea who I am, but I read your blog often and will add you anyway. :D
I'm a bit of a lurker, but I've done it!
I've been lurking for a few months, but I just added you.
We're already friends... though I'm almost never on facebook... I log in and see all the unanswered requests and feel enormous guilt... but not as much guilt as my open manuscript file causes when I'm playing online:-)
Still, if it makes you feel any better, you are one of my very favorite bloggy stops and I've had you linked for the longest...
ALL HAIL MOONRAT!!!! We luvs you, Moonie!
Sorry, Moonie. I don't do Facebook, but I'll think happy thoughts at you. :)
there we go, I added you too :)
You have lots of Facebook friends now, and I'm joining the line from Anchorage.....novel idea; just ask for friends! Shudda thought of that myself.
My request is in the pile. :)
I'm a devoted lurker. Really enjoyed the list of books that make good gifts.
Thanks for asking. I'll head over to friend you now.
Your blog has been on my Reader for months - added on Facebook!
