Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Heh. I just told him that it didn't fit and good luck in the future. I was a bit terse, perhaps, but polite.

YAY CONNIE!

hope and encouragement.. huh. Are you SURE that's what it requires? I mean, we'll take it gladly, but I wouldn't want you to piss off your muse and I know she's not quite that kind of girl.

Heck, I'll send you what I've got, tell you where I think it needs to go, let you mull over how to get there. After all, you're the editor/publisher :)!

Deena/Amy, I sent a link to Drolleries to my friend Julie, who (sorta) makes a living as a storyteller. I think the stories she tells are very much in line with what you are looking for; I just don't know if she writes them.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

My feeling it that you are better off with a standard rejection letter for works you don't like; save personalize ones for work you like, but don't fit the market. Maybe I'm pushier than your average writer, but I always take personalized rejections as a reason to put you at the top of my submission list for my next work.

Connie, received. I remember it now. I liked it a lot. I'll mull it over.

Hey, thanks Raq! Tell her to mention you if she decides to submit.

I hadn't thought of that, Gar. Thanks for the perspective.

Trust my rage

Did the drabbles die? Just curious. I never write them myself, but I always enjoyed reading them.

Always Anti-fascist!

Maybe we should think of some topics...uh, one of the challenges I've signed up for is "What I didn't Know"...does that sound interesting?

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I like that one a lot, erika. I must go think on it.

...so, a novel should really be about 80 or 90k words, right?
