Send it on, then - profile addy is good.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Reading now, Susan. I'm into it, it's good. I may be making more notes than you wanted, though. me = OCD.

I don't seem to have the knack for issuing drabble challenges, so passing the match on to whoever wants to take it up, in hopes they will use it to light a torch.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I did one and it came out all weird. I've been meaning to try again but I went out of town.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
My writing goal for the summer was to get 100 pages into my new manuscript and have the first 50 pages or so in good enough shape to send to my agent to show her what I was working on.
It seemed like an achievable goal until early July, when I realized I needed to start over. I'd started the story at the wrong place, I'd engaged in massive backstory dumps, etc. No way could I write 100 pages in less than two months, not when I'd been having so much trouble with the story, not when I was going down to Alabama for a week to help take care of Mom during her chemo, etc.
I just hit p. 100 with a week to spare. The second half is pretty rough in spots, but the first 40-50 pages are polished enough by early draft standards, so I'm going to email my agent tonight or tomorrow, as soon as I've got a rough synopsis ready.
I did it. I didn't think I had it in me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Congrats, Susan! That's really fantastic work.
