But, like you, I can't see that affecting their responses to a query. I suspect the "don't send at those times" dictum is based on the "no one's around, might as well wait until they are" scenario.

That, and people really do obsess over anything they can find that'll give them the illusion of control. At least once a month some writing list I'm on has the "one space or two at the end of a sentence?" discussion. How anyone could imagine an editor rejecting a well-written and interesting story just because it has two spaces after each sentence while she prefers one or vice versa frankly baffles me, but it still comes up over and over again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Why wouldn't it be Bill, huh? It probably happened just the way Cindy (ETA: and Teppy) postulated. And until it's proven otherwise, that's the scenario I'm going to go with. In any case, Yay! And yes, go!

And really? Honestly I think the "cooking for fun and survival" thing for teens would be much more popular and fun than one on writing. But that's just me.

Thing is, anyone can find a hunnerd and one writing classes. How often do you find a class by a first class gourmet chef and professional caterer offered to teenagers?

I'm sure anything you say will be interesting, Deb.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

How about "Doin' Time in Rock and Roll: A Primer".

I'd love to think it was the Big Dawg, but until proven, I'm assuming nothing.

I'd do a chef's thing for teenagers in a heartbeat, but for all I know, there are nine versions of Julia Child along for the ride, and I'd best leave it to them. But I'll add it to the profile.

one space or two

Good grief.

I'd be far more envious of Bill remembering Deb than I am of that sweet invite.

Give me two periods after a sentence or give me death.

Hm, doesn't really stir the blood, does it.

But I forgot he has more resources to Find Out What This Person Is All About than the normal person has. We have Google; he has -- god only knows

Oh. My. STARS. I am now laced tightly into an image of his reading my comments on his lickability, and my head wants to explode.

Screw it. I stand by it. The man is designed by nature to be licked. Really.

Meep.

I imagine he isn't too put off by hot, intelligent, fierce women wanting to lick him. Just a guess.

And as noted elsewhere, the weekend prizes civility. Certainly licking him is quite civil.

It would be rude NOT to.
