Comment On Comment

Word to the wise. 

Over the last month or so, this administrator has, with great reluctance, deleted approximately 400 apparently laudatory comments submitted to this blog.  Thank you for the kind words, they were read and enjoyed.

The heartwarming high praise reminds me of pom pom crabs,  or a scorpion bearing flowers in its pincers. The sting in the tail, and the disqualifier from getting approved for publication is that the praise always contains a live link to another site... or worse.

Prose is all good, but since the law changed, the copyright agent for this blog (yours truly, rowenacherryauthor) is legally responsible for what we post, and to some extent (in GDPR countries) what you pick up from us. 

Tracking cookies are unavoidable, but we try to minimise/minimize them. This is as good a time as any to implore visitors to review what cookies Blogger shares with your devices. Sometimes, a "do not track" request is not honored.

We advise visitors to delete cookies often, hover cursors over links before clicking, empty caches daily. We don't accept paid adverts, and we don't share mystery links.

On the other hand, if any reader would like to write a short guest article about a well-run, legitimate and lawful writing contest, for example, or magazine or zine accepting submissions, we would love to hear from you.

All the best,
