Allyson!!! Congratulations!!!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
First big step! I'm so excited and nervous.

deep breath
I adore her. We just talked about the essays and such, and the proposal. I have to do an overhaul on Save Firefly, and we talked a bit about The Misery Effect, the one about craxy!fans and the hatemail they send to writers, and just who owns the story?
And also? I have a very distinctive voice.
I don't really know what that means but it made me feel really really good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I TOLD you! I ain't much of a cook, and I can't play a musical instrument, and I never learned Algebra--but I know good writing when I see it.

So is it more like Kathleen Turner, or Colombo?
I need to do a lot of writing/rewriting, so I think I'll ask for a vacation day tomorrow. Yeah? Yeah.
Thank you guys a whole hella lot.

Always Anti-fascist!
No, babe. It means that an Allyson sentence sounds like an Allyson sentence and you have a way of talking about this stuff that nobody has.
