Ok, just got praise from an editor for something I could do with one finger tied behind me(not literally. Much like Mr. Olbermann, I am a two-fingered typist. However.) It's cake. So that's why I look like Wonder Woman turning it in so fast. Also, I have no life, a shiny new internet connection and the urge to pretend that I am the kind of person for whom deadlines still matter. A "citizen", so to speak. Also, asking me to do that is like asking Dr. House to consult on your sinusitis. Except I am polite and will follow through... But I guess I'll just end up e-mailing "Thanks so much. Glad you like it." "I saw my life flash before my eyes. I've got to get myself a life."
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
MM, kind of a Constantine feel to that one. I'd love to see it grow.
Ginger--the coffee, when it's snorfled? Burns a bit. Also? I just noticed the heart-shaped photo corners on that pic and have this whole "had a crush on Belinda, before she was Sister Mary Emmanthaler" thing going on.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Just a note to let people know my occasional column, "How to Succeed As A Failing Writer," is back. The current installment is: Long Time Quiet Now: A brief break in the silence.

Because books.
Photo drabble. This one.
She doesn’t get paid enough for this.
“No blood at least.” Marty’s shock of pewter hair falls in his eyes as he crouches over his newspaper. “Should have seen that dealer get popped.”
She rolls the cleaning cart out onto the sidewalk. Some girl took a handful pills to disappear, and once the dull roar of chaos has faded, who gets to clean up? She does, that’s who.
She tucks her hair behind her ear. At least she’s got a job, a place of her own. She does what she has to do.
She doesn’t look in the mirror, though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The photo drabble challenge is now closed.
This week's challenge is center.

How do I know if something should be a story or a book? Because I got an idea yesterday...

Write it and see how long it is when you're done?
Which sounds kinda facetious, but it's the only way I know. Not that I've ever had a short story idea in my life. With me it's stand-alone vs. series.

But wouldn't that affect the timing? Which is something I think I have a problem with already.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If it was me I'd jump right in and start writing, then see how long it was shaping up to be. Of course, I never finish anything so you probably shouldn't listen to me.
