Congrats, Susan! That's really fantastic work.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh my ... the drabble topic ... we had an emergency last night - smoke in various stations closed down stations on four of the five Metro lines, so they were using buses to shuttle people around the closed stations. Then one of the buses CAUGHT FIRE. Right downtown, close to my office (although I wasn't there late Sunday).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And go you, Susan!
Drabble topic? I, um, er. Gots nuthin, sorry.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I just emailed a partial and synopsis to my agent, who's eager to see what I've been working on this summer.
I'm askeert. I don't know what I'm going to do if there's an email in my inbox tomorrow saying it's a terrible idea, unmarketable and unsuited to my voice. As tough as this story has been to write so far, I'm growing fond of the characters. I want to follow them all the way to the big triumphal scene I've got planned for the denouement of Book 4. What I'm not confident about is whether I'm writer enough to do justice to the story.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is this the story I was reading? It was good.

Yeah, it's the same one, though I just sent her the first three chapters, so it didn't include that scene.

I just sent the final draft of my book proposal to my agent. Why am I so nervous?

Well, if it's anything like my nervousness, it's "What if she hates it now that I've put so much love and effort into it?"
