www.inkthinkerblog.com — No, really! Tonight is the first night of my third semester in the publishing MPS program at George Washington University. This semester I’m taking Marketing Strategies and Production Management. And you thought COPYRIGHT LAW was fun… Actually, Copyright Law was fun. Book Design, on the other hand, sucked. But that’s a story for another day. I have to get beautiful (or at least, you know, dressed since I’m still in my PJs–I love working from home!) and out the door ASAP because there’s a pre-first-night-of-class cocktail party. I wonder who came up with that.

“Hey, I have a great idea.”
“What is it?”
“Let’s get smashed and then go to school!”
“Awesome!”

Wish me luck.

www.inkthinkerblog.com — I’ve seen this around a few times, but today I finally found the URL for the list of the Top 10 Unintentionally Worst Company URLs. I can’t decide which is my favorite.

Can you come up with any others that would be equally or almost as bad? Post them in comments. I’ll be thinking on this one, too.

www.inkthinkerblog.com — Another one of those things I added to my Favorites list and can’t remember how I found it: Skinny White Guy. Click, look, read. I’ll wait.

Okay, now that you’ve clicked, looked, and read, pick your favorite picture. I’ll wait.

Okay, now imagine the person/people pictured with SWG turn/s his/her/their head/s and sees not who they thought was standing there but SKINNY WHITE GUY. What really happens next?

Post in comments if you’re willing.

www.inkthinkerblog.com — Get your mind out of the gutter, people! I’m talking about publishing. I don’t remember who turned me on to this page (Miss Snark, was it you?), but I stumbled across The Publisher-Dating Dictionary the other day and couldn’t stop giggling. Don’t do these things, lest you be single (read: unpublished) forever. However, I also recommend that you don’t use the example of a query letter they provided. If you decide it’s the best for whoever you’re targeting, so be it, but it struck me as painfully boring. (So I guess if I ever become a literary agent, huge magazine editor, or major publisher, you shouldn’t submit that query letter to me. :])
