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

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Okay, thanks. I've been away for a while; I've undoubtedly missed stuff in my skimming to catch up. But, lovely drabbles, everyone!

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?

Hmm - does the book have to be organized around topics? Why not just the 1000 best drabbles or 500 best drabbles or whatever fits the word length? Then pick the topics based on the drabbles picked.( OK I know I'm about to practicise a philosphy of learning here; that sometimes the best way to learn is reveal your ignorance so that bits of it can be chopped off.)
