What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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

Heh. That would be the ones at whose christening the Tact Fairy wasn't smoking a crack pipe with the Passivity Fairy, plotting the subject's gruesome and violent death, methinks.
Both fairies were kicked out of doors when they named me. I have no subtlety - I just say what I think I mean.
Anyway - just truth as I perceive it. And the goodonya stands.

OK, this just made me mist up a little. Talk about the best kind of attention:
Hi, my name is Elise and I attend Washington High School in the Bay Area. In my English class I have been assigned an "I-Search" project where you have to research your target job and interview people already involved in that profession. I have wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember so I thought it would be perfect to interview you because I love your writing. I'm sure you are very busy but I could schedule the interview around your schedule and it would be very short. If you do find it feasible you can email me. Whatever your decision, I thank you for your time and ask that you continue to write.
My daughter Joanna went to Washington. (So did Maya Angelou, and a few others interesting people, but mostly, Jo went there.) I taught a couple of guest lectures on the Scots play at Washington.
This is absolutely the best butter. Nice nice nice.

Of course I pinged her back and told her I'd do it, whenever she liked but Tuesday is bad (medical crap, ugh).
Stuff like that makes me happy.

Readers?
The original short story topic was "espionage." Once the editors selected stories for the anthology, they saw that most of the ones they selected had a fantasy or sci-fi element, so they wanted them all to have a fantasy or sci-fi theme. Mine didn't, although they felt it was a bit dream-like and asked me to play that up.
It honestly would've been easier to make it hard sci-fi, but I've taken a crack at it. Could I get a couple folks to give it a read in the next couple days?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'd like to read it, please.
