Thoughts for future drabble subjects:
Thanks, Connie! Bookmarked for future reference.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Tell me, how could there be bad karma in this?
Not inflicting bad karma - stirring up what's there. But honestly, it's okay. Teppy reminded me of the Bonewit "universal switchboard" take, and she's made me remember that I do become a sort of huge open receptor to this psychic crap when I open up the way I am for this damned book: it's all or nothing, Rock of Gibralter or open wound, and at the moment, all defenses are elsewhere. So there's no point in me worrying about it. Done is done. I need to finish the damned thing, is all.
me me me. Ugh. Let's move on.
Have we done a drabble topic on whispering?

Didn't come yesterday, either. There are a number of things I'm waiting on, actually. Annoying.

Ed Gein: So, my PI's operative just found out a guy she knows casually has been implicated, at least as a lead in a sexual assault. Because she is personally close to a lot of cops, she knows who's got the case, and she doesn't trust him. If she wanted to look around, make sure her newspaper delivery guy gets what Philip Marlowe would call "a fair shake" how would she get started? She couldn't just bop down to the stationhouse.

erika, a conversation - casual but not casual - at their local watering hole? Get some of the gossip on the case, see what people are saying, drop a few not so casual questions? Ping at least one of the guys she's close to, enough to where he calls her on it, and that enables her to speak her mind up front?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Can she have a non-cop friend there? Someone who works as a secretary/filing person/data person (like a Buffista who works at the station)? They could get at files or at least find out basic info for her. I always like showing how much support staff knows about what's happening--more than they often get credit for.

Both good suggestions...I'll probably use both of them at different points.

Chapter 15 done, sent, completely unedited except for a spellcheck.
My psyche hurts.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
In mememe news, I've been doing the readthrough on the wip, and I've been pleased to discover how well it hangs together so far. Oh, I discovered a few cases of Word of the Day Syndrome, a place or two where I need to rewrite in Chapter Five because of something I only figured out about Anna when I got to Chapter Ten, etc. But it's all small stuff. It's a good story, and I'm doing a reasonably good job of telling it.
