Sigh.
Peter S. Beagle changed my life with his thin little book about driving mopeds across the States.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Lust to Dust! Bwah!
I think (I *think*) I'm going to be a total rebel and call it COLD KISS. My critique group tonight did that collective "ooooh" when I suggested it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The threads challenge is now closed.
This week's challenge is bunnies (or rabbits, if you prefer).

Always Anti-fascist!
for the challenge: As she gets ready to move, she wonders if she should take them all; the fake furry creatures that shared her youth. Mickey and Minnie, Snoopy, lions and Easter rabbits. She loves animals but has only recently had her own pet, and every time she had a pang for her childhood cat, she added to her plush menagerie, and now it’s quite a zoo. There is a story attached to each one: holidays, zoo visits, the friends that gave them to her. But it seems kind of like tearing some hearthrob’s photo out of a magazine and planting big lusty kisses on it, at her age, to carry that stuff around again. Maybe she should pass them on and let some other girl make her own story.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
If I'm right in thinking I'm writing a 500-page book, I've finally reached the halfway mark.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Somebody pointed me to this interesting method/exercise.
I may give it a try. Anybody else heard of this or used it?

Because books.
Oh, yeah, Joe. A bunch of writers I know up here have been using -- I think we had someone do a workshop on using it at one of our RWA meetings.
I haven't tried it myself, although I have tried something sort of like it once.
