KIM IS AN ENABLER

... to call me Lil ______. Like Lil Carmichael, Lil C, Lil Blake, Lil LB, just basically anything Lil. I blame Lil Wayne, really. I can’t rap though. Man, I wish I could though. I would be incredibly marketable. A girl whose 5’3 just busting out rhymes? Who wouldn’t want that CD? Anyways, I’m blabbing. My really close friends like to call me Blakey, and my family likes to call me Lillian Blake. So I ...

New fic: Pale

...of the Year. This was small potatoes, in comparison. Thank fuck they're in love, she thought as the floor manager gestured 'five, four, three, two, one' and they went live. Love was marketable these days; casual sex less so. Rosa didn't want Arthur's eyes constantly darting off camera, looking for Merlin in the shadowy areas between the lights, so as the interview commenced she dragged him from ...

The Diary of Abigail McNare

Back in the 80s I wrote a book called The Diary of Abigail McNare. Then, in the mid 90s or so, I tried to turn that story into a marketable comic. Didn’t work. I still love the character though. I would like to introduce LJ to Abigail: Sunday, July 12th, 1992 They’re hunting me. Everyone seems to want me dead. Hahaahaa I’m already dead, so I guess I should say “deader”. Back when my leather ...

Someone at work may have a personal interest in you. Be careful not to jeopardize your position. A new look at an old idea will help you develop a marketable product. There is money to be made. 4 stars

REVIEW: ARMORED (2009)

... just as easily been played by any veteran character actor. I mean other than the producers backing an armored car up to his front door to get him in their film in hopes his presence makes it more marketable overseas, I guess. Fred Ward appears every so often as their supervisor. He could just as easily been cast in the Reno role - or Fishburne's as well. Don't really learn much about any of ...

And now, a very special episode of Bebop's intellectualist claptrap

...Mulan, of course, is totally awesome. Also yes, good luck NOT singing along to "I'll Make a Man out of You." Seriously. Simplifying dark and disturbing stories to make them more marketable to a children's audience is no stretch for Disney (have any of you ever actually READ the original Hans Christian Anderson version of "The Little Mermaid?" Jesus fucking CHRIST), but doing the ...

Still in Shock

... years of this? Especially considering that when he is eventually released, he will forever more be required to register as a sex offender. He will never teach again, and despite the fact that he has marketable skills I am not sure what avenues will be available to him when he is released. He is too smart to spend his remaining life as a convenience store clerk and truck stop short-order cook. ...

Celebrity Gossip: Why?

... what one celebrity does speaks for all of them as a group, since once you become recognized as an entertainer, you lose the power of individual decision making. There apparently exists some marketable portion of humanity that perceive celebrities as space aliens, and are awed that their behavior so nearly mimics that of human beings. Perhaps this stuff sells because the folks buying it impose ...

I knew it was a good idea.

...point. Apparently this is what made my resume stand out from the other applicants, because as the professor who hired me apparently put it, "I've got to meet the guy who runs a company that makes ninja movies." Yes, despite what you've been told, your actually useful and marketable skills aren't the key to money and success, it's the hobbies you should have given up when you were 12. I love life.

... the one telling them myself that it is fantastic. I was already thinking of ways I would work with them to make it perfect and how cool it would be to call up editors and gush about how amazing and marketable the book is and how they HAVE to read it. I hope the agent loves it like I do! *I have line edits for DRIVEN due December 14th, Revisions for SHATTERED due March 1st, and YOU WISH revision ...
