On Quick Chat: Car Buying

@kitten_witawip How did you avoid paying taxes on a private purchase? I just bought a car from a coworker, and had to pay the sales tax when I went to the DMV to transfer the title. At the time, it occurred to me that I could make up a lower number for the purchase price, but I think I would've felt guilty.

On Let's Negotiate!

Professional writers should not write for free. It sets a bad precedent and does a disservice to all writers. And the argument that people should write for "exposure" is bullshit. I built my editorial career by moving up the freelance chain: student newspaper (paid) to alt weeklies (paid) to national publications (paid). If you think your writing is worth something, never give it away for free.

As someone who lives in Minneapolis, I can assure you: this is nowhere close to "cold."

On Clever and Free Costume Ideas (Give Them to Me)

I chopped all my hair off recently, so I'm going to wear a blue nightgown and carry a demon baby doll and be Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby. My punny contribution: wear a revealing dress. Carry a dollhouse in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. You're a homewrecker.

On One Day I'll Be Forced to Move Out of This Town

In the three years I lived in New York, the landlady only raised the rent once… by $10/month. Unfortunately, she was also crazy in less charming ways.
