Masks! Let's do masks!
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

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

Because books.

Oooh oooh! I vote for that.
ImememeN, anyone have another word for breathtaking? I'm writing romance copy at the moment, and I'm completely uninspired. And if I type the word "passionate" one more time, my head my explode.

Amy, what's the context? Is someone breathtaking, or something, or a time, or a moment, or a G-spot? I need context.

It was in a "Author's Name's next BLANK novel of romantic suspense" context. I went ahead and used "fabulous" and let it go at that.
Can you tell how invested I am in writing cover blurbs?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thrilling?

Damn. Thrilling would have been good.

Compelling? Riveting? Engaging? Engrossing?

Too late. I already sent it in.
It's sad how much I really don't care. I don't know where my vocabulary went today. I suspect the neverendingmotherfucking rain washed it away.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
All right, then -- let's go with a seasonal topic!
Challenge #80 (Out of the Closet) is now closed.
Challenge #81 is, in the spirit of the season (get it? get it? "spirit"? ....yes, I'm a huge dork), masks.

In Hiding
It's me, and the mirror: a woman, peeling away the masks.
The first one, flesh and fever, is the woman of today, feeling her age, feeling her systems breaking down. The lips are cautious, the eyeslits come with hoods. This one's about protection against loss.
Beneath that, another: passion, scarlet-painted cheeks, a full ripe mouth, what they see, what they should have seen, when they looked down at her, her body moving under them.
Third mask: the girl who won't die, comedy/tragedy, laughter and tears, tinted with the flame of her need, painted in all the colours of the rainbow.
