My friend Jenny seems to have pissed off an ultra-sensitive author. Recently, she had this to say regarding the linguistic difficulty of the title of a new television show, Rizzoli and Isles. Notice how near the end she realises the show was first a book series, which only serves to underline her point about the pronunciation of the main characters' names.
Tess Gerritsen, the author of the series, clearly has a google alert set up for herself because Jenny's blog IMMEDIATELY popped up on her radar. (An author with nothing better to do than google herself should probably find a hobby, but that is neither here nor there.) Without bothering to read Jenny's blog, Gerritsen included it in her own blog about how tragically difficult it is to be a writer and deal with the criticism of strangers.
Please take a moment to dry your sympathetic tears.
