The only way to removes something branded in is to cut out the flesh into which is is branded, Deb.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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

Yep. In fact, I'm just starting the fourth Kinkaid novel, which is all about knowing it.
In fact, I'm-a go make some dinner and get back to prologue. Cleveland Rocks has its first 1400 words and I want to go finish the prologue.
Besides, I love hanging out with JP and Bree.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
These are really nice.
I'm just so tired, my headspace is somewhere else though, so mine is a downer.
change
I want a vacation from knowing, every night, that this might be the last night of one of my students' lives.
I want a vacation from participating in a culture that allows torture and detainment without due process.
I want a vacation from a world where anal rape is a joke and an accepted part of our punitive system.
I want a vacation from having responsibility for the wanton destruction of the earth that sustains our life.
I want a vacation from believing that there is something I can do to change all that, and that means I must.
Change.

Liese, very nice. I want to go on that vacation with you. Alternately, I'd like to send the current administration on a vacation to Guantanamo Bay for the next four years.
I also want to go on vacation with sarameg! Those drabbles make me miss Spain so much, it's indescribable. Particularly the last one, I've done that, too! When I was really, really drunk I could even clap in that wierd syncopated rhythm they use for flamenco and Sevillana.

move out and draw fire
So, can a drabble be less than 100 words?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh, absolutely. I'm not really a drabble dictator.

Hey, driving by on something less than John H. natter diet. Kudos to Gus, {{Hugs}} to Teppy. Also the money may not be good, but lots of the cool kids publish with BAEN.
In MeMeMe stuff, am doing comparative analysis section for a book proposal. No problem knowing what is comparable to me out there; I either used much of it as sources, rejected the rest as either not applicable or total crap (cough Jeremy Rifkin, cough,cough). But I'm supposed to estimate how much each book sold. Turns out publishers aren't eager to share that info for stuff that is still in print. So what is a decent basis for a good guess?
On edit - no, don't have an editor asking for a proposal. Just following a recommendation of writing the book proposal first, then basing the query on the proposal.
