Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

Congratulations, Kristin!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dang, ita. I was half-writing a heaven drabble about lying on the beach in my head, but now I won't bother.

And just for the record, I know several people with wonderful souls who work in PR, advertising, what have you. How you make money isn't necessarily who you are.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How you make money isn't necessarily who you are.

Thank GOD.

Otherwise I'd be a computer.

Wait, you aren't a computer?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No, silly, she's an Ninja robot!

Thank you, debet. And I don't ninja for money, ever.

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

(grinning for the first time in hours, at nifty conversation)

Always Anti-fascist!

Editing sucks. A lot. And I don't know if I even have the skills to write what I picture, anyway.

Because books.

Editing sucks. A lot.

Have you thought about waiting a little bit before tackling this? You only finished...last week, was it? For me, at least, I need a good two weeks or more to read it fresh before I can objectively (as much as that's possible) edit and revise.

Yay for Kristin's good freelance deal! That's a nice chunk of change for press releases, my dear.

Up with the sun

Yay for Kristin! Getting paid is always good.
