How to apologize: a short thread. So. You've fucked up. You did or said or wrote something that angered and/or offended and/or hurt someone or many someones. You need to apologize--either because you were wrong, or because people are telling you to apologize. Which one is the case doesn't matter.
I was just flooded by about 20-25 middle grade girls, all of whom had questions. (Our children's librarian is out today). I could *not* have been happier. Middle grade girls are serious. They know what they want and ask for it. When I tell them where to go to find it, they *listen*. They're great!
It will never happen, but I'm much rather see a comic book publisher look at a complainer's social media posts and say, "We don't want you as a customer" than to look at a writer's posts and say, "We don't want you as a writer." Some people you should be proud to not sell to.
