Dear Author:

When you brag about how you've never lived in one place or held a job for more than a couple of years at a time and then you go try to get a job that requires a lot of experience and nobody takes you seriously? It's not just 'cause you're a girl.

Also, that bit about how your childhood was worse than anything Roald Dahl and Charles Dickens could dream up together, and how your young adulthood was more exotic than any seven travelogues rolled into one? I can read Marysue fiction for free on the Internet, honey.

(snerk!) And I daresay some of it is better written? Wow, sounds like you got a real winner there.

And it's supposedly true, from the father who said for years he'd kill her to the European count lover. Riiiiiiiiiiight.

It's supposedly a true story. A true story that includes her father threating to kill her and a titled European lover. And lots of people thinking she's Jane Bond and thinking she does the Bestest Ever at a job she decided to get on a whim with no training.

My eyes have rolled right out of my head!

Do you think the writer knows the words "Mary Sue" exist and what they mean?

I doubt it, or she might have toned it down. Or made it worse, hard to tell.

Yeah, I knew a guy who said he was titled nobility, too -
everyone in Ireland who had more than one cow was a
king at one time (ok, so he was Polish, & said he was a
Count, but the same principle applies).

And if I don't yell at my kids that I'm going to kill them
at least once a day, it's because they wait until night-time
to act up.
