I think your DH is a fucking genius(in the adjective sense, mind you) Susan. Also CG told me the same thing when my tank got dry once.
'Underneath'
The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Susan, he's talking good basic common sense.
I asked him what I should do about it. His first suggestion was "breathe through your eyelids,"
Like the lava lizards of the Galapagos Islands!
The rose goes in the front, big guy....
Teppy, may I say how much I adore the idea of a "really really bad drabble" challenge?
I'm drawing a complete blank on what to attempt. Y'all have probably noticed I don't do the drabbles unless they suggest to me something from the wip or one of the embryonic novels. I definitely get tunnel vision.Susan, why don't you just go back through some of Teppy's challenges in this thread?

Bull Durham.
"Turns up", to me, indicates "found", not "lost".
You know, I'd been wondering about doing a Cliche drabble for the cliche of "You can't always get what you want."
But no matter how I look at it, the drabble is always going to be "Well, no SHIT, Sherlock!", written out twenty five times.

Like the lava lizards of the Galapagos Islands!
Exactly!
And he knows me well. If you can't get through to me any other way, make a sports metaphor.
Susan, he's talking good basic common sense.
I know. I just like my tunnel vision. Nothing else in the world is half as interesting to me in this stage of the process than the wip, y'know?
I've heard people say that here, "turned up missing" but come to think of it they were probably Southern transplants, at that.
