It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
ita, that's one beautiful silent language, there.
I have about twelve of these, but right now, everything's going into R&RNF. Everything.
As noted elsewhere in my universe, this is creative priapism.

OH! And almost forgot. Remember the 44 Clowns of the Apocalypse?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay on clowns, Deb!
Sail, I love that. Poor kitty. I know just how he feels.
ita, both of yours were from an unexpected POV, and illuminating.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hurrah for apocalyptic clowns!
Oh, and I think I figured out how to fix Lucy's story and make it something marketable. I had a burst of inspiration in the produce aisle yesterday. Not that my inspiration had anything to do with vegetables, I must hasten to add. Just that something about grocery stores (and showers) helps me think. Ima finish Anna's story first and then go back to it, but the two stories tie together very nicely--wouldn't it be great to have two linked books to sell?

It was the smile that said it first.

The quirk at the corner, that widened into a toothy grin.
Do you think so?
Then the eyes, as the lids relaxed and his face went blank, like a shade drawing down.
Let's just see about that.
His fists said everything else.

Deb, I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, is this an anthology you were looking to get a story into?

Sail, yep. The story was "The Fourth Ring", a nice simple subversive little pro-choice story about a girl, an unexpected visit from a travelling circus, and a Bic lighter.

Hey. New board.
Yay! Clowns! Apocolypse! Also, Samurai! And, maybe, boxers!
That's all I got. For I am drunk. Sorry for the annoyance.
