Are these chapters all written? Or are you looking for inspiration for a new chapter?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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
They're all half assed outlined!

Um. Write something else for a little while? Let yourself have some fun?

Or I could tell you that I want to read "I Could've Had a V8" first and see if that motivates you.

I think of them as the Leafblower Ghosts.

Heh. My problem is sorting through the stories and making clear lines separating them from each other, so that they're true essays and describe the people within them without becoming redundant.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I like
All is Their Prize
for the title of a teen resurrection romance.

Sorry, Amy, I posted right before I left for home. I like Ginger's suggestion, Unquiet Grave, best. My own mind keeps going to more poetic flights of fancy. Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress":
The grave's a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
It just won't go away. Would you shoot it down for me?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sail, that's a gorgeous couplet. The only shooting-down I can possibly think of is that Peter S. Beagle already wrote a supernatural/beyond the grave romance called A Fine and Private Place, but it's a pretty long poem and a pretty great novel, so (a) there may be other title-worthy lines, and (b) Amy may be already planning on nodding to Beagle anyway... which makes for a spectacular failure of down-shooting.
