Ginger, you know I have a short story in the Music to Words anthology, based on the song, right?
Damned thing may even come out someday. And erika may have a story in there, as well.

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

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
I have about six small paragraphs of the BNF story that was making me so uncomfy, and was wondering if it would be alright to post and get some suggestions on which way to steer. It's the hurty piece. Need tough questions, and to be backed into a corner a little.
Or, I can email so as not to hijack thread from the kickass drabbles.

Allyson, might be better to email, just for copyright reasons; once you've posted on the net, you run into issues.
Send along, please.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Allyson, feel free to e-me. I can tough love you.
Even if I can't type.

What is even happening?
Allyson, I will read, if you want. Profile is good.

Excellent excellent feedback, deb. Extraordinarily helpful.

Oh, good. Because that was what hit me straight off, and rather than pick at it and tease it and worry it out, I opted to go straight with what I first saw. Sometimes a cigar, etc.
Heading out momentarily for the evening, but if you need me to look at any touchups or rewrites at all, send and I'll sit down with them as soon as I get home, late tonight. Okay?

Damned good, are you. (Is it just me, or do I sound like Yoda...?)
Seriously. This is a pleasure to read and an even bigger pleasure to edit, because you are basically the anti-"yes, BUT..." writer. When you ask for specific input, it's because you want the input. You aren't looking for hairpats, you're looking for stuff to put in service to the book.
And that's what writing's about. So hell, yes, send it on, if I can be useful at all. It's a pleasure working with you, lady.
