I'm going to start a whole new comment thread here because Bee and I were emailing each other separate from this earlier about mercury being in retrograde right now and I of course, trust her wisdom on it, but interestingly for whatever reason mercury being in retrograde has always been a really positive happening for me (and for Ani whenever we are working together). And it seems true with this post too as the communication/comments keep rolling in and it's getting more views than I think anything you've done to date. Does anyone else have this experience with Mercury being in retrograde? I hope so!
Thank you!! It thrills me that so many of you love her work as much as I do and I want her to keep getting all the praise and increasing recognition she deserves. You're extremely giving too for acknowledging her here. I appreciate it and both of you a lot.
I am Mercury ruled as a Virgo rising and where the moon is today! In my own world Mercury retrograde has always been a time of slowing down, but I welcome all feedback regardless of Mercury’s position in the sky! Some people tend to do better during the retrogrades. Others not so much. This retrograde is slightly easier than some of the previous ones in Leo and Sagittarius that we had recently. Thank the heavens for that!!!
Ok, Bee, I am greedily going first this month to ask you to tell me more specifically about my love life and where that stands and whether it is a good time to fall into something new or not. I am Scorpio with Scorpio Rising and Taurus Moon (I think). This is not a question I would have ever asked you or anyone in all of my many years on this planet but I now am curious to know. I would love to hear any insights and wisdom you have on how that aspect of life might go for me at this time. Thank you in advance!
And not as selfishly, I love your horoscope this month and so appreciate your candor about everything you have been through. I think it will help so many other AJPT readers and I love that. Big xo always
I'm just editing this to add that if any of you - with special powers and wisdom or not - feel like weighing in about my love life and whether this seems like a good time to get into something in a way that I haven't in years, let me know!
First, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. They honestly made my day. And thank you for trusting me with this question because relationship readings are my favorite. I always joke that I’m an intimacy astrologer because while I can read just about anything, love, relationships, and the psychology of why we choose the people we choose are what fascinate me the most.
The first thing I want to say is don’t put too much pressure on yourself right now. We’re in a Mercury retrograde until the end of the month, and I almost never encourage making big relationship decisions during one. Mercury retrogrades aren’t really about charging ahead. They’re about slowing down enough to ask yourself better questions. It’s the season of rewriting, rethinking, reconnecting, revising, and renewing. Since you’re writing a book, it’s honestly perfect timing because this energy wants you to refine what’s already there instead of forcing something completely new. I think that same advice applies to your heart. Let yourself reflect instead of feeling like you need to have all the answers today.
Then next month everything shifts. We have two eclipses, and I like to think of eclipses as the season premiere and season finale of our lives. They introduce the storylines we’ll be living with over the next six months. Your Solar Eclipse is happening at the very top of your chart in your house of career, reputation, and legacy, and I absolutely love this for you. It feels like one of those moments where life is saying, “Okay Jane, it’s your turn.” I think the next six months are going to bring more visibility, more recognition, and more opportunities to step into leadership. This is big Leo energy. It’s asking you to wear the crown, take up space, be creative, let yourself be seen, and stop apologizing for the light you’ve always had. I genuinely think this could be a beautiful chapter professionally.
What’s interesting is that this same eclipse is squaring your Venus in Scorpio, and I actually think that’s where the relationship story lives. Venus is how we love, what we value, what makes us feel safe enough to open our hearts, and Scorpio never does anything halfway. It wants depth. It wants honesty. It wants complete emotional intimacy. Sometimes, though, Scorpio also tries to protect itself by staying in control because control feels safer than vulnerability. With Pluto playing such a strong role in this eclipse season, I don’t actually think the biggest question is whether someone walks into your life. I think the bigger question is how your relationship with love is changing. Pluto issues require intensity, depth, power. The wrong relationships will bring a power struggle and reveal where you’re being manipulated by others fears or needs to control. Are the people in your life growing with you? Do they support the person you’re becoming? Do they share your values as they continue to grow and change? Venus retrograde brings a lifetime of re-evaluating what beauty and love mean. The end of the year brings this to the surface. What matters now? It’s a good thing to meditate on. What’s changed? What’s maybe suprised you?
As your career grows and you become more visible, you’re also becoming a different woman than you were even a few years ago. The partner who fits this next chapter may not look anything like the partner who would have fit the last one. That’s why I don’t think this eclipse is asking you to go looking for love. It’s asking you to become incredibly honest about what love actually means to you now. What feels safe? What feels reciprocal? What feels emotionally nourishing instead of just exciting? Scorpio can sometimes mistake intensity for intimacy, but those aren’t always the same thing. Some of the deepest relationships aren’t the loudest or the most dramatic. Sometimes they’re the ones where you finally feel safe enough to exhale & like BE authentically YOU!
Later this year, Venus and Mercury will both retrograde through your first house around Thanksgiving and Xmas, and I think that’s incredibly significant. Venus retrogrades are rare, and they invite us to revisit our values, our desires, and the stories we’ve been telling ourselves about love. It’s less about finding someone new and more about becoming the version of yourself who can receive the kind of love you’ve always deserved. My advice would simply be this: stay open. Go on the date if someone interesting comes along. Flirt. Have fun. Let yourself be surprised. Just don’t rush to define anything before you’ve had the chance to see who someone really is. Let people reveal themselves over time. Chemistry is wonderful, but consistency is what builds trust.
So if I had to answer your question in one sentence, I’d say yes, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in your love life, but not because the universe is dropping someone on your doorstep. It’s because you’re becoming someone who knows herself more deeply, asks for more, settles for less, and is finally ready to be loved in a way that matches the woman you’ve become. There are some challenges coming in here, but, it’s likely because a lot of your energy is starting to flow towards the areas of your life that allow for recognition and for you to be seen for who you are independently of a relationship. So the right person won’t dull your shine or be intimidated by you placing more value in putting your time in career right now. I hope this hits!
Wow wow wow. I'm taking this all in with so much gratitude! I trust every word of it and I'll write more here with some specifics that it absolutely applies to. Thank you as always, Bee!!!
You are very welcome. I think that these are gonna be very generationally defying eclipses. Therefore, I am really excited for them. We are in unprecedented times. The cool part is that we all get to be part of the generational change that we wanna see in the world.
Bee, you and every woman in that building deserve to feel safe and at peace in your building! Men like Tony shouldn’t be allowed to work around women, children or the elderly. Sending so much love to you!
Bee you don’t deserve to deal with this sort of harassment. I’m glad Linda was there but my heart hurts that this man has caused so much harm to you. You are brilliant and incredible. I hope this gets resolved. 🫶 also, thank you for the beautiful horoscopes and all your share into the world. Despite everything you are going through, you always give back and give kindness and love everywhere you go 💕
I'm so very sorry to hear about everything you have been going through, Bee, but I am so glad that Linda was there for you when you needed her. I hope your friendship continues even though she will be we living in a different place. As for Tony, he can go to hell! He sounds like a thoroughly miserable person who doesn't think much of himself, and tries to make himself feel better, consciously or subconsciously, by disrespecting others. I hate him. We love and appreciate you, Bee, and we're here to support you as much as we can. And Jane - I have received messages telling me to clean my phone screen. You're not alone!
You just made me feel so accepted!!! Thanks, Alyssa!!! Dirty lensers, unite! I sometimes try to play it off as a filter when I send my screenshots to someone, which I do really often because I assume that whatever I am seeing must be universally inspiring and interesting. Aren't you glad I don't text you??
Thank you so much for this, Alyssa. I’m going to be honest that I have never received any notification telling me to clean my phone. But I am a Virgo rising germophobe and I disinfected my phone every night with a wipe and it is probably smudgy, but….because it’s clean!!!!
Bee, I'm sorry for what you're going through. Linda sounds like a gift from the Universe, and I hope you're able to continue your friendship despite the circumstances.
Not that I regularly wish bad things to happen to people, but here's hoping Tony gets "transferred."
Your Leo horoscope is, as usual, spot on. Thank you for your continued awesomeness! (Can you tell from that word that I'm Gen X? Haha)
I approve of awesomeness! Thank you so much, Dana! You have a big eclipse about to hit you. Prepare to take up a lot of space and create the life you always wanted. 💕
Bee, I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this. Tony sounds awful and it’s terrible that management is not taking the safety of you and the other occupants seriously, especially when there’s been multiple complaints made against him. It’s so hard to feel unsafe in your own home, I really hope things change for the better soon. You and everyone else there deserves to feel safe. I’m so glad that you’re still with us. 🖤
I’m also sorry to hear about Linda, she sounds like a beacon of light. I’m so glad she was there for you and I hope you stay connected with her.
I’m very sorry to hear Linda is leaving. I know how much she means to you and how close you got in a short span of time. With the Tony situation, I can relate a bit. I had a man and a woman in separate units in my building who were anti pet and I was the only one there with a dog. I felt tag-teamed by them. Luckily got me, they both are hated by the property managers, but always actively running to be on The HOA board. They would spread LIES about me and my dog, and as much as I loved the condo I worked so hard to purchase, they made living there toward the end less enjoyable. I was able to escape luckily and I feel very fortunate to have had some support and ability to leave in addition to my dog providing me comfort. I think the concept of neighbors has really changed over the years as the relationship with people who live close by is crucial to out safety and security especially us who get disregulated more easier. If it wasn’t for your support and the readings I received from you Bee, I’d feel even less stable. Getting a pet can be a big undertaking, but the emotional support and safety my dog offered me also helped. I hope your relationships in the building strengthen with time so you feel more safe in your community. I hope this is also temporary for you like it was for me, and Im sure the universe has your back.
Thank you! My neighbors also have the same issues with this person and with how it’s been handled by management. I feel so lucky they have my back on this. Community is such a huge relief in these moments. Thank you for the kind words and I’m so glad we met!!!
This comment inspired me to come back and share what specifically in my Scorpio Rising horoscope this month is so completely accurate already. Thank you!
I need everyone to understand how amazing Bee is - getting a reading from her is an amazing experience. In fact, I have one scheduled for this evening. I'm so glad you're still with us and I'm so sorry Tony is still around and you are number one on my Lotto List! When I win big, you tell me where you wanna go and I'll get you there. Also, we can create some sort of Dirty Work -style revenge business and make Tony's life as annoying as possible and perhaps it will humble him!!!
I love you, my sweet and beautiful friend and I'm so glad Hole has brought us together!!
OMG! I am so excited about our reading tonight. When I woke up this morning, I was so excited that we finally get to gab about the eclipses. Thank you for the kind words about Tony. It’s been torture living here amoung his wretchedness. But, I’m trying to hold my head high and power through it. At the end of the day, his behavior is just embarrassing as hell.
Yeah he's clearly the poster child for Insecure Jerk. I'm always here for venting purposes! (Unless you call and I am hungover, lol. Sorry, I'm still learning that I can't have fun like I used to 😂.)
Bee! I am so sorry this is happening and has been happening for so long! It’s absolutely unacceptable for the building to continue to employ this man. He has proven again and again that not only is he rude, but his behavior is actively dangerous. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home, and this man needs to be let go and banned from the building immediately. I hope this happens soon.
Unfortunately, him being in the union allows him to get away with numerous offenses including threatening people. It’s wildly absurd and makes me fear for the amount of damage he’s doing in the most intimate spaces us women live.
I wonder if you can make an official complaint with the union? I know there are lots of protections, but this could open them up to a lawsuit! Truly unacceptable for you and probably all women who have interacted with him, to feel unsafe!
I was told that I am not allowed to make a complaint and neither are his coworkers. The property manager is the only person that can make a complaint. I’m not sure if this is actually legally true though. Maybe a petition my neighbor once asked? But, his coworkers seemed to think that won’t work because in his words:they truthfully don’t care about our safety in this building.
Thank you. They sent out an email letting us know that Linda is still on the roster for “fill in shifts” so I hope they bring her energy back. She’s such an angelbaby!
Sending you so much love. As a (level 1) Autistic, it’s painful to be misunderstood (and misconstrued) by neurotypical individuals. Also, Tony will be removed. 🫶
I hope the Pluto transits headed for his Aquarius stellium take him out. His solar return for 2028 and 2029 look bleak with the Sun Conjunct Pluto with the North Node.
I’m so stoked!! Am I’m no longer in the running as having caused the most unsubscribed due to how unflattering cancer made me!! I needed something to celebrate, and this is IT! 💪🏻
Though a recent contributor reached out to me from here to explain how my comment was abuse she wasn’t going to take, and that Jane is not as awesome as we think. And then I see the public display of Oh I love Jane Pratt gushing and I think, actual fuck what?
I understand the disillusionment like can cause by this post’s author, and I wish I could help. It’s taken years of practice to whisper or sometimes scream ‘fuck YOU’ at the bad things that happen in life. Perhaps I chose long ago to live my life as a Choose Your Own Adventure. Cannot quit. Just back that ass up and try a different path.
Recently my dad had a stroke. It was very awful. 5 days after while he was still in the icu, I received a letter from our illustrious government that I would not only be losing my disability check (anxiety, cancer, general fuckery with my inner being) I would be losing my insurance AND not passing go and I had to pay them the $26… no.. $27… no… $28,000 I owe them because they shouldn’t have paid me since 2023. Because tricky minx that I am, I have been paying my $150k in cancer debt by taking credit card debt to pay it, and using my check that can’t pay that to live. So, in shorthand, I lost everything for circulating debt, and having available credit.
Not money. Not income. But debt.
And I could not stop laughing. Because they want me on my knees. They want me to beg. They want me scared
And I literally said, “my dude, this is stupid.” And they agree. But it doesn’t change anything. But my dad is healthy now, and I’m healthy now (7 years ago tomorrow I would pass out in a hypercapnic breathing emergency - unable to get oxygen in or carbon dioxide out and be put in a coma to start the worst 25 days of my life, including being starved to 60 pounds to see if my doctor could kill me faster and blame cancer.
But brains are troublesome. They look for hidden doors. There is so much useful survival information hidden in trauma. Every bad thing I thought had almost killed me in my life showed up that month to keep me alive.
And I believe the very worst things that happen to us crush some diamonds you’ll find if you did through it all.
Or not. In 2019 I could not talk, sit. Stand, walk, turn over in bed and my husband carried me everywhere I went and also had to wipe my butt when I was done with the bedpan I was no longer strong enough to put myself on. So I became a huge fan of his, rather than spend my time sad the government thought I wasn’t worth insuring. Or caring for. Unless I did what they said. Which was - die.
Now that I can walk and use my voice, nothing is ever really that bad. It’s just not. This will be a story I don’t just laugh at then, I’ll fucking laugh at it now.
Because we all have such power. We really do. I promise.
So so much to say back to you, but you can't drop that information that someone here said I was unawesome/shitty and then not tell me who it is. Let's get it all out in the open!
I blocked her, because I didn’t want to receive any more long detailed letters about what she said, what you said, what your team said, her pain and suffering and how I was abusive. I take offense to that, because when I AM purposefully actually abusive, it’s pretty obvious.
The person would be the author of the singleton article, I believe the last one published. The girl who is fiercely loving you in public posts. I was going to write you about it, but I didn’t want to be on your full plate because one never wants to risk taking the place where the brownie goes.
In this analogy everyone’s plate is a 1980’s Swanson TV dinner.
Oh, I know exactly who you're talking about. Yeah good to know she is a phony because I've never gotten a letter like the one I got from her and I was being somewhat phony in my positivity over the whole thing also, just because there's no point trying to hurt somebody else when what's done is done and I thought maybe I could switch the whole thing over to a positive exchange from here on. Now, knowing that she hasn't moved on, I'll just let the whole thing go. Not everyone gets along. Thank you!
I'm so so happy you read all those emails! I went back to reread them before I published my intro because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything. Yes I could easily have paid her upon acceptance. I've done that before and it's not policy, but if someone asks, sure, of course easy! Rather than going passive aggressive and letting me try to figure out why you're upset with me when I'm not doing anything different from what we said we were going to do. As I said in the intro I presumed afterward that maybe it was because she wanted her book promoted so I did extra book promotion. If it was about the $50 that would've been such an easy solution. Oh well. It's a good lesson for all of us to say what we want.
It was never about the $50. It was about thinking she could’ve shopped that piece around and made mill… bill… trillions if you would release it. Which you offered to do and she refused. At that point I knew the notoriety of being a Jane published author was worth more than money to her, so that means all the emails were just whining.
But we all have to stand in line, sometimes.
It brought to mind the term ‘bitch fit’ which I think I haven’t used since high school. But damned if that shoe didn’t fit. The time frame of publication was not extraordinary. There were thousands who gladly would have taken her place to get published. She could’ve shopped have gotten out at any point, no hard feelings.
People are weird. Which is no excuse for lacking kindness and gratitude, but I’m finding often those who do blame it on someone else.
I'm going to start a whole new comment thread here because Bee and I were emailing each other separate from this earlier about mercury being in retrograde right now and I of course, trust her wisdom on it, but interestingly for whatever reason mercury being in retrograde has always been a really positive happening for me (and for Ani whenever we are working together).

Thanks so much for giving Bee this platform. She’s so so gifted and we are all really lucky to benefit from her magic
Aw, thank you, Lexie! Coming from you, this means a lot.
Thank you!! It thrills me that so many of you love her work as much as I do and I want her to keep getting all the praise and increasing recognition she deserves. You're extremely giving too for acknowledging her here. I appreciate it and both of you a lot.

I will DM you my number and that will not be a problem whatsoever!
What an honor that would be! I'd DM mine right back! 🤗
OK, I just sent you my number. Use it well and often!
What an incredible honor! Thank you, Jane! 🤗💖 I just sent you mine, in return. I would be beyond thrilled to hear from you, anytime! ✨️
🤣
Thank you so much for this, Alyssa. I’m going to be honest that I have never received any notification telling me to clean my phone. But I am a Virgo rising germophobe and I disinfected my phone every night with a wipe and it is probably smudgy, but….because it’s clean!!!!
I hope you’re healing. Keep your head up. And know that people care for you. And you have support.
Thank you so much. Trying to keep my spirits up.
Thank you. Please do. You inspire others. Appreciate you. We need you. You’re a warrior.

I think the concept of neighbors has really changed over the years as the relationship with people who live close by is crucial to out safety and security especially us who get disregulated more easier. If it wasn’t for your support and the readings I received from you Bee, I’d feel even less stable. Getting a pet can be a big undertaking, but the emotional support and safety my dog offered me also helped. I hope your relationships in the building strengthen with time so you feel more safe in your community. I hope this is also temporary for you like it was for me, and Im sure the universe has your back.
Thank you! My neighbors also have the same issues with this person and with how it’s been handled by management. I feel so lucky they have my back on this. Community is such a huge relief in these moments. Thank you for the kind words and I’m so glad we met!!!
As always Bee has the absolute BEST horoscopes in the biz, the Gemini Rising one is lining up perfectly with what my runes have been saying.
Thank you!!! 😊
This comment inspired me to come back and share what specifically in my Scorpio Rising horoscope this month is so completely accurate already. Thank you!
I need everyone to understand how amazing Bee is - getting a reading from her is an amazing experience. In fact, I have one scheduled for this evening. I'm so glad you're still with us and I'm so sorry Tony is still around and you are number one on my Lotto List! When I win big, you tell me where you wanna go and I'll get you there. Also, we can create some sort of Dirty Work -style revenge business and make Tony's life as annoying as possible and perhaps it will humble him!!!
I love you, my sweet and beautiful friend and I'm so glad Hole has brought us together!!
OMG! I am so excited about our reading tonight. When I woke up this morning, I was so excited that we finally get to gab about the eclipses. Thank you for the kind words about Tony. It’s been torture living here amoung his wretchedness. But, I’m trying to hold my head high and power through it. At the end of the day, his behavior is just embarrassing as hell.
Yeah he's clearly the poster child for Insecure Jerk. I'm always here for venting purposes! (Unless you call and I am hungover, lol. Sorry, I'm still learning that I can't have fun like I used to 😂.)
Or as astrologers like to say, “Saturn quincunx Mars, Mercury, and the Sun.”
Bee! I am so sorry this is happening and has been happening for so long! It’s absolutely unacceptable for the building to continue to employ this man. He has proven again and again that not only is he rude, but his behavior is actively dangerous. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home, and this man needs to be let go and banned from the building immediately. I hope this happens soon.
Unfortunately, him being in the union allows him to get away with numerous offenses including threatening people. It’s wildly absurd and makes me fear for the amount of damage he’s doing in the most intimate spaces us women live.
I wonder if you can make an official complaint with the union? I know there are lots of protections, but this could open them up to a lawsuit! Truly unacceptable for you and probably all women who have interacted with him, to feel unsafe!
I was told that I am not allowed to make a complaint and neither are his coworkers. The property manager is the only person that can make a complaint. I’m not sure if this is actually legally true though. Maybe a petition my neighbor once asked? But, his coworkers seemed to think that won’t work because in his words:they truthfully don’t care about our safety in this building.
F that. Go around them. Get a paper trail. This is horrible.
Beeeeee!! Neither you nor Linda deserve this. </3
Thank you. They sent out an email letting us know that Linda is still on the roster for “fill in shifts” so I hope they bring her energy back. She’s such an angelbaby!
Both the sun and rising sign horoscopes were so accurate!!!!!
Thank you, Love! 💕
Yes, thank you both!
Sending you so much love. As a (level 1) Autistic, it’s painful to be misunderstood (and misconstrued) by neurotypical individuals. Also, Tony will be removed. 🫶
I hope the Pluto transits headed for his Aquarius stellium take him out. His solar return for 2028 and 2029 look bleak with the Sun Conjunct Pluto with the North Node.
What a beautiful comment. Thank you for your openness and your praise of Bee's openness too!
I’m so stoked!! Am I’m no longer in the running as having caused the most unsubscribed due to how unflattering cancer made me!! I needed something to celebrate, and this is IT! 💪🏻
Though a recent contributor reached out to me from here to explain how my comment was abuse she wasn’t going to take, and that Jane is not as awesome as we think. And then I see the public display of Oh I love Jane Pratt gushing and I think, actual fuck what?
I understand the disillusionment like can cause by this post’s author, and I wish I could help. It’s taken years of practice to whisper or sometimes scream ‘fuck YOU’ at the bad things that happen in life. Perhaps I chose long ago to live my life as a Choose Your Own Adventure. Cannot quit. Just back that ass up and try a different path.
Recently my dad had a stroke. It was very awful. 5 days after while he was still in the icu, I received a letter from our illustrious government that I would not only be losing my disability check (anxiety, cancer, general fuckery with my inner being) I would be losing my insurance AND not passing go and I had to pay them the $26… no.. $27… no… $28,000 I owe them because they shouldn’t have paid me since 2023. Because tricky minx that I am, I have been paying my $150k in cancer debt by taking credit card debt to pay it, and using my check that can’t pay that to live. So, in shorthand, I lost everything for circulating debt, and having available credit.
Not money. Not income. But debt.
And I could not stop laughing. Because they want me on my knees. They want me to beg. They want me scared
And I literally said, “my dude, this is stupid.” And they agree. But it doesn’t change anything. But my dad is healthy now, and I’m healthy now (7 years ago tomorrow I would pass out in a hypercapnic breathing emergency - unable to get oxygen in or carbon dioxide out and be put in a coma to start the worst 25 days of my life, including being starved to 60 pounds to see if my doctor could kill me faster and blame cancer.
But brains are troublesome. They look for hidden doors. There is so much useful survival information hidden in trauma. Every bad thing I thought had almost killed me in my life showed up that month to keep me alive.
And I believe the very worst things that happen to us crush some diamonds you’ll find if you did through it all.
Or not. In 2019 I could not talk, sit. Stand, walk, turn over in bed and my husband carried me everywhere I went and also had to wipe my butt when I was done with the bedpan I was no longer strong enough to put myself on. So I became a huge fan of his, rather than spend my time sad the government thought I wasn’t worth insuring. Or caring for. Unless I did what they said. Which was - die.
Now that I can walk and use my voice, nothing is ever really that bad. It’s just not. This will be a story I don’t just laugh at then, I’ll fucking laugh at it now.
Because we all have such power. We really do. I promise.
So so much to say back to you, but you can't drop that information that someone here said I was unawesome/shitty and then not tell me who it is. Let's get it all out in the open!
I blocked her, because I didn’t want to receive any more long detailed letters about what she said, what you said, what your team said, her pain and suffering and how I was abusive. I take offense to that, because when I AM purposefully actually abusive, it’s pretty obvious.
The person would be the author of the singleton article, I believe the last one published. The girl who is fiercely loving you in public posts. I was going to write you about it, but I didn’t want to be on your full plate because one never wants to risk taking the place where the brownie goes.
In this analogy everyone’s plate is a 1980’s Swanson TV dinner.
Oh, I know exactly who you're talking about. Yeah good to know she is a phony because I've never gotten a letter like the one I got from her and I was being somewhat phony in my positivity over the whole thing also, just because there's no point trying to hurt somebody else when what's done is done and I thought maybe I could switch the whole thing over to a positive exchange from here on. Now, knowing that she hasn't moved on, I'll just let the whole thing go. Not everyone gets along. Thank you!
No worries, I got to read every email you wrote for the past 4 months. And then hers.
As I showed in my email, her argument was that she was losing money as that article sat. Which is why I told her to write you and get paid.
No.
No?
This is why I left high school at 15 and went to college. Well, that and I was kicked out for only attending 10 of the first 40 days.
I'm so so happy you read all those emails! I went back to reread them before I published my intro because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything. Yes I could easily have paid her upon acceptance. I've done that before and it's not policy, but if someone asks, sure, of course easy! Rather than going passive aggressive and letting me try to figure out why you're upset with me when I'm not doing anything different from what we said we were going to do. As I said in the intro I presumed afterward that maybe it was because she wanted her book promoted so I did extra book promotion. If it was about the $50 that would've been such an easy solution. Oh well. It's a good lesson for all of us to say what we want.
It was never about the $50. It was about thinking she could’ve shopped that piece around and made mill… bill… trillions if you would release it. Which you offered to do and she refused. At that point I knew the notoriety of being a Jane published author was worth more than money to her, so that means all the emails were just whining.
But we all have to stand in line, sometimes.
It brought to mind the term ‘bitch fit’ which I think I haven’t used since high school. But damned if that shoe didn’t fit. The time frame of publication was not extraordinary. There were thousands who gladly would have taken her place to get published. She could’ve shopped have gotten out at any point, no hard feelings.
People are weird. Which is no excuse for lacking kindness and gratitude, but I’m finding often those who do blame it on someone else.
Holy Mercury rx!
HAHAHAHA good one, Bee!
