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.

Hi. *waves*
Still on my Google reader. :D
well, hi there :) that was quick. and made me feel happy.
Yep. You're still in my "following" bar.
*waves*
THERE you are!
I had just started following you (about dang time, too, I've been missing out) and you evaporated into thin air.
You're in my google reader because I was hoping you'd miss blogging and come back to us.
Yes! You're still in my Google Reader, just in case. :)
Yes -- this is still very much on my Google Reader. :)
you're on my reader too!
Yup. Still here.
How's it feel to know we're all sitting here watching you in case you make a move?
No pressure or anything.
I do miss you. :-(
I love you moonie!
+1 for following on Google Reader.
Still following *hi*
Tracey
hells yeah
Google Reader is watching you!
thanks to the wonders of RSS feeds, absolutely.
-- Tom
Still on my google reader too :)
I still have you on my google reader. Hope everything is going well for you.
We miss you.
Looks like lots of us are still here. :D Blogging misses you too!
Google Reader. :)
Like a bad disease, we're still here. You know you want to scratch the itch! ;0)
We're still here! Feel the love! ^_^
yep, still in my blogger feed.
Of course! Good to see the lights flicker on...hope all is well with you.
In Google Reader, still hoping for more Ratty wisdom to trickle out . . .
Yep. You're still on my list of industry blogs. There's still good info here for those in need of it. :)
Still on my list and in my reader.
Yes. Miss you.
yup :)
Like the others, I also still have you in my Google reader, hoping you'll come back someday!
Waiting for you to come back.
Living in hope...
And hoping things are going well for you!
I'm still subscribing! And every time you show up on my Twitter feed I do a happy dance. :)
Of course! <3 Hope you're well!
'Come back!' they cry, voices all husky like when Rose called out to Jack...
Google reader still remembers you...
Still missing you! I'm stalking you via Google Reader. ;-)
Still following, still missing your posts. :)
Also following via Google Reader! Was excited to see a post. :-)
Amy
Yep. I wish you would come back...please! You know you want to...Nice to see you stop by :-)
You're still in my Reader... nice to see a little flicker of life. I miss it too.
Hello! Yes, for some reason we all seem to have wistfully left you in our blog feeds. And lo and behold, you spoke!
Hi! You're in my Google reader, so I never left ... just waiting ... :-)
Miaou?
Yep.
Of COURSE we do!
We have the benefit of being able to at least visit with you, your parents, the RM and the Aunda through your words, safely stowed right here. Also, all the insider information that has proven more helpful than you could ever know keeps this blog in the corner of my eye. Always.
Ever hopeful, I left the link in my blog sidebar.
You're still on my Google reader, too.
Absolutely still here. And happy to have the chance to say so. *waves*
*waves*
Feed reader subs never die.
<.<
I'm still quite subscribed. :D *waves.*
Another fan here who has you on his Google Reader, and is VERY happy to see you're posting again!
Hi. No, I don't check your blog.
Do slow down at Facebook and Twitter (at least I think you appear there on occassion).
yup still subscribed as well x
Still subscribing and would love to hear what has been on your mind. :)
I check it. BTW, does anyone know if Pamela Ahearn is still an agent? You can reach anyone at her firm's number. Thanx.
Yes, you're still in my reader, and you are missed. :)
I don't exactly check in, but I was really quick to see what you were writing about when I saw there was a new post titled "just curious." :)
Hello!!! So nice to see a new post from Moonrat. I keep a link to you in my blog roll--it's still a fantastic read, even if it's not updated anymore.
yup yup! we all miss you
Yep, still see when you update.
YES! Come back so those of us who found your blog shortly before you shut it down can get new fixes. Thanks bye.
Well doesn't this just suck. I found you today and you've shut down the operation. Oh well, it's alright, there's lots to see here, and I love your Red list, so I'll be sticking around a while. I have a hunch you'll be back.
Enjoy the sabbatical, and the new gig.
But just so you know - I would have been screaming at you had I been around when you posted your "goodbye" note. ;)
Yep, still on Google reader and not even deleted during the last cull.
still on my google reader - miss ur posts.
I'm still here.
I miss you. *cry*
I'm still on the lookout for your posts. I've learned so much from you!
That's the beauty of The Reader. Still missing you.
Come back! Come back! COME BACK! (pretty please?)
Another Reader follower here. Though it looks like your question has been answered quite thoroughly already.
*Waving madly too!* I keep hoping I'll get a new alert in my Google Reader and here you are! We miss you too.
So come back once in awhile already :o)
Yes. You can drop a line anytime.
Drop us a line whenever you'd like....
Yes
Yet another vote for Google Reader--and Twitter, of course! We miss you!
Yes. I miss your posts. And contests. Your blog was one of my favorites, whether you were posting about publishing or not.
Suscribed to your RSS...probably at the second you stopped blogging. Been keeping an eye on you every since
If you miss it - come back
I still have you in my RSS feeds. So Halllloooooooo!!
I just found the site not too long ago, and I still look through :)
Yes!
Hope you come back!
Of course.
Mostly, it's to scan posts for useful information but there are times when my neuromuscular Moonie memory kicks in and my fingers click on your bookmark with the urgent facility of lights flashing from a spacecraft lost in the void.
Oh, okay then — I miss the lickle baby animoles...
Yes! We miss you!
this long stream of comments makes me very happy. hmm, maybe we can all work something out.
Pleased to see a post in my Google Reader ":)
You're still on my blogroll, so I still check here and some of my readers do too.
I'm here. Lonely little me. ;)
Moonrat
Still waiting for you to come around.
d
You post, it pops up in my reader. I haven't taken you off. I'm pretending there's no reason to.
Still in the old reader.
ditto on the Google Reader :-)
Still here! Haven't given up on you. :)
Yup, on Google reader, which means I also get it on Flipboard on my ipad - a brilliant app if you haven't seen it.
*raises eyebrow* Did you see how far I had to scroll down just to say - "yep". You're missed. (Hugs)Indigo
I technically only added this to my blogroll after you stopped, but seeing as you've asked, yes, I'm reading your post. ^_^
I still have you in my reader. I can't explain how excited I was to see a new post. :) I hope you're well.
Ditto for still in my reader. And one of your most inspiring posts is still on my wall!
Where have you BEEN? WE HAVE BEEN MISSING YOU!
WE MISS YOU.
*waves hand in the air* I still check!
Yep. Google reader.
*waves* still here
Hope you're doing well. :D
Let me be #106 to say: still here! Miracle of the google reader. xoxo to you.
I still check over here hoping you'll come back.
smooch!
we miss you, too. peace...
We ALL check in here! We miss you!
Still in my reader. Your archives are very necessary to a writer.
Just found the blog through Google reader. once you follow a few blogs on writing and publishing, you pop up as highly recommended! As someone trying to work as an online editor myself, I'll be going over this blog with a fine toothed comb, let me tell you!
Yes and I think you should post where we can find you now. Check you out during lunch at work and miss you. I hate to think of what I am missing on your new blog. Don't care about the subject matter! LS
It's been a long time since I let my fingers click on your blog. Seeing the same post always depressed me.
But todat - like a flame of happiness- I clicked and there you were! (melodramatic much?)
I miss your posts. Come back.
Yep! Glad you're back.
I still have your blog on Google Reader and I do check back occasionally. I'm sort of blah on the blogging these days, so I haven't been reading or commenting much, or I'd have said hi sooner.
No Google Reader feed here, just good old-fashioned longing. I check back once a month in the hopes of finding you've returned to those who love you.
Forget telling us about publishing, just come back and tell us stories. We miss you.
Definitely!! Love this blog!!
yup yup.
Yes.
Someone remarked on another blog that editors don't edit anymore. That caused me to remember that I started writing for publication in 1979 and nobody has ever edited any of my stuff. Fine with me, since I am sure they have much more important things to do, and my writing is perfect anyway (harrumph!) But it makes me wonder: if editors don't edit, what do they do? If you are looking for a topic of interest to blog about, that one might appeal to your readers.
Very best wishes.
