Deb, I doubt any of my drabbles are worthy of publication, but I think the drabble anthology is a fabulous idea.

Deb, it sounds like an awesome idea. I'd love to contribute if possible. I figure it's a good way to get my name in publication in case I ever want to do more than just drabble. If not, hey, at least I can say I've been published! Plus, I think of all the great company I'd be in and it makes me very, very happy to think of being a part of it all.

Deb, if BenBella is looking for people to contribute to said VM anthology, I can probably point a couple of people (sensible good writers people) your way. But I expect they're just looking for professionals, which most of my friends ain't. Yet.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
'suela, I honestly don't know. They asked my agent, not me, but I'll find out. There was also a mention of another show - I think it was Grey's Anatomy. Does that sound right? I've been away from TV awhile.
On topic, happy birthday to my very favourite babies: the Kinkaid Chronicles turned one year old on 18 May, while I was prepping for the F2F.

That's amazing. You've written so much--all of it quality stuff--in just one year? Wow.

Amen to that, Anne. Deb, you are a writing machine!
-t, Sail, insent. And thank!

What is even happening?

If another author took five years to write what Deb's written in one, we'd call her prolific.

What Cindy said. It seems like it must have taken you much longer, Deb, but we all know it didn't. All I gotta say is, thanks for keeping us so entertained with them over the past year! Whoot! Sincerely hoping your agent can find a publisher for them as I want to actually own them.

Woo. I woke up crazily early -- for me -- and emailed Sail and -t, and edited and wrote 2 more pages.
Compared to Deb, I am a piker, but I feel all accomplished. Go team me.

Erin, totally go team you. And this isn't my normal output level either - that's the whole point. I'm looking at nearly 400K words of fiction this past year - not including song lyrics or drabbles - and thinking, the FUCK?....
