For those of you who have no clue what we're talking about, a blogger I'll just call "Z" told everybody that ebooks suck eggs. Well, she was a little less polite about it.

I was just kidding around...trying to make light of the fact that I feel rejected every day, so that if I can get a book completed maybe a rejection won't hit me so hard.
