connie, that was simply beautiful.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Commemorating an event
For years I can’t help it—any time the song plays I smell you and I taste you and I want to touch you. It whips me right back to that night, to the madness, the hunger, and that song playing on MTV behind us, seemingly forever, with us too distracted to turn it off as it burnt itself into my memories.
It doesn’t work for me anymore. I hear the song and think of not wanting you; I think of no longer being the girl that thrilled to your touch.
I don’t miss it.
I need a new song.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
DAMN, ita.
You just played my song.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
After about two months of writing next to nothing, I seem to be getting back on track:
- Finished my essay on "Boobs," and the editor and her agent like it. There was unclear talk of whether "edits in the middle are OK," which I said OK to, but as I've not heard back, I'm forced to assume that they're relatively minor and being made on the other side. Of course, no one even knows if this book is really coming out.
- No word from Agent #1, who was in a rush to get the novel manuscript but hasn't been heard from since. (Shrugs shoulders.) Editor at Publisher #1 has the first 30 pages. Should here from him this week if he, too, doesn't disappear entirely.
- Got guidelines out to section editors for the next issue of The November 3rd Club.
- Resumed writing my column for GotPoetry.com after the inadvertant hiatus.
It feels like I should be able to rest now. Alas, it doesn't really work like that...
- New column up, after an inadvertant

Always Anti-fascist!
Check it out, Victor. I'm betting on being one of the great innovators of all times by that standard, babe. All about the cravings.You should feel complimented; you bumped Dr. House, whom I find a quotable fictional human being.

Sweet burning Jeebus on a raft, do I hate cover letters.
I have a job I'm really interested in, the deadline is tomorrow, and I'm giving myself a mild panic attack trying to write the cover letter. Ack.
Anybody bored and want to read it?

Late, as always. You can almost set your watch by my late posting of the drabble topic. Which is ironic.
Challenge #100 (commemorating an event) is now closed.
Challenge #101 is disguise[s]. I know we used "masks" as a topic a little while back, but this feels different to me, as a topic. And I'm the autocrat around these here parts, anyway. So. Disguise[s]. Go to it.

Smart people can be stupid too
Ailleann, I'm not sure how much help I'd be but I am certainly willing to try (that and, yeah, I'm bored). So, if you're still around and looking for input, I'd be happy to take a look at it. melon underscore m at-sign hotmail dot com
