I mean, they've got reporters with MAD investigative skills and all. They were showing everybody just how tawdry and terrible it must be if one is a…gasp… romance writer.
I'll make it simple for them. Here's some tweets about what I do during the day:

Sometimes (okay, a lot of the time) when I get bored, I tweet-shop for shoes I really want, and often can't afford. @wnep#behindthescenes

wanna know what this is about? A piece of crap article written by Kena Vernon. Her email is Kena.Vernon@wnep.com.
FYI, normally, I don't do things like this, but this article is out to ruin a woman's career. Judy Mays is the pen name of a woman who has taught for 25 years and because some people got a bug up their tails, she's getting grief for writing romance. I think it was Colleen Gleason that pointed out-a guy wouldn't be getting this grief. Say he wrote thrillers about serial killers? Would he get grief? Nope. But since Judy writes about sex and love…
Wanna read the article? It's here. The comments are wondefully supportive. The article, IMO, sucks.
Smart Bitches blogged about it here.
There's a FB page to support Judy.
You can leave a comment (you have to like them) on the new's site's FB page-I liked them, then unliked, just to leave a comment.
You can also do something really cool… buy one of Judy's books. Which will really throw her haters into a tailspin. (link will take you to ARe…click on Judy's name in the article)
