Love those, both of them.
Erika, my favorite line: "living on the government’s tiny thread, sticky like a spider’s web". That's a perfect description. I don't really think of you as particularly lyrical, but that one definitely is.
Gar, yours makes me think. I like that. I like the ghost of Hemingway floating after the list of simple changes.
Those were both superb.
Where is our dispenser of drabble topics? Teppy?
And, um, would anyone like to WIP-read the prologue for 7W? Because it's going to Daymond shortly.
Ok, Deb.
I'm not writing very much right now...I've got time.
A'ight.
Yeah, I think I'm funny.
I actually use the damned word in there, several times, but without the apostrophe....
Anyway, you have it, and quick feedback, she is my friend.
DG: I sent you the thing. You don't like my reads, but if you want one from a crusty old cranky fucker, I have got one for 7W.
New drabble topic!
Challenge #119 (advertising) is now closed.
Challenge #120 is foreign languages.
As always, if you have any suggestions for future drabble topics, please let me know!
Challenge #120 is foreign languages.
She spoke to me. There were sounds. I could only watch her lips.
Her teeth appeared, and disappeared, nipping down on a consonant. The letter 'L' made her philtrum twist in a way that was ... unbearable. The letter 'K' brought the lines of her neck into a perfect symmetry.
She wet her lips at the end of a sentence. Drew a breath, drilled her eyes into mine.
Smiled.
Continued.
I lost all audio. She hooked a stray hair behind her ear.
She could have been asking a question. All I could see was her hand, her hair, her ear.
Her lips.
Gus, MAJORLY cool drabble.
But the synopsis hasn't got to my email yet.
