Poetry drabble.
If it wasn’t for poetry, maybe we wouldn’t be together now. Being set up on a blind date is never easy. When we were introduced, we just stared at each other for what felt like forever, but neither of us could think of anything much to say. Luckily, the poetry reading was about to start, and we didn’t have to talk yet. We could sit back, listen, and steal a few, quick glances at each other. When the reading ended we talked for hours, and a few days later, an e-mail arrived with a poet’s name in the subject heading.
His affectionate name for it was Tree Killer
Heh. Was that Tad's To Green Angel Tower? The one the Jamaican guy in the queue at the London bookstore was ranting got him hit with excess baggage charges?
I'm with Allyson. I can't write to a goal that's based on math. It's about telling the story the way it wants to be told, and letting it out when it wants out.
Sometimes I have to say "Ok, gonna try for 500 words today."
Lately, do not make it very much.
If anyone here isn't on my WIP list for the Seal Press anthology essay - bless angelic Vortex for the perfect title, "Truth, in the Middle" - and would like to read it, give a yell. It's done.
deb, is that the proposed anthology of drabbles done here?
not Deb, (I don't write that fast) but no. Another one.
Okay, thanks. I've been away for a while; I've undoubtedly missed stuff in my skimming to catch up. But, lovely drabbles, everyone!

I would love to be on that list. My profile addy is good.
Gar, it's done, and I'm sending.
Zen brings up something I wanted to ask: would everyone who wants to have drabbles considered for the proposed anthology give a little thought to the topics they think the book ought to cover? I'd love to hear some feedback from the other writers here. Which topics appealed most to you?
