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

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Yay, Deb!
My editing process has slowed down this week what with all I have to do getting ready for the conference this weekend. Also, I'm having to rewrite one chapter completely, and since I just saw Serenity last night, Jack keeps wanting to talk like Mal.

Divided
He sat across from me for twenty years. The table was carefully arranged to accommodate two lefties: Jim and I--the righties--on one side, Mike across from us--by himself, Mom on the end. Mike played linchpin in our fights, deciding alliances, so it served parental double duty—divide and conquer. It came in handy the time I threw the chair at him. I couldn’t throw it over the table, so I had to settle for throwing it at the ground.
I would give anything to be able to set the chair down for him to sit at, again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sail, that's poignant, and very image-ful.
Susan, break out the Sharpe dvds and get Jack's voice back.
Deb, damn. Was it just last night we were burrito hunting and talking writing? I can't wait to read the whole of Cruel Sister. It may top Matty for sheer terror-building for the reader. It's a great send-off for the characters and the series.

Sail, that was lovely.
Bev, I'm not sure my editor thinks it's the send-off. Her email about it was subject-lined "Next in the series".
Ummmm.....

Ah, yes. "Research."

I'm a giant mimic like that, Susan. That is why I've not read Deb's book yet. Because I'll get this.
"Who's British?"
"What?"
"Is he that Bennett guy?"
So I have read nothing but hardboiled books and "Practical Homicide" for about six weeks.

BWAH! "Good morning, Gordon."
edit: BTW, I'm a few steps closer to doing something as part of a mystery signing thing in Boston. May be January. Clea Simon's working on it - a place called Newtonville Books.

"No, as I understand it 'Gordon" is more of a "What?"
"What have I told you about that fanfic?"
