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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I like it, so far. It's...

Pfft, it's fine. I want to hear about you.

eta: Hee. The view from my balconey is a fantastic one of the bay, and I have a shopping center right down the road with a branch of my bank, and a Starbucks and a Baskin Robbins, and some good quick food places, and a nice sushi restaurant.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Wow. I guess all those "may your labor be nothing like mine" vibes I sent out worked!

t trains vibes on next-door neighbor's house, since she's pregnant with her second and before my experience held the longest labor record among our circle

(BTW, I'm hoping that once I write the childbirth scene in the wip, it'll be cathartic enough for me that I won't have a knee-jerk urge to say, "Did I mention how long my labor was? Damn long, that's how," every time the subject comes up. I might even deliberately write the scene longer and more graphic than I'd dare put in the version I submit to publishers just to help the catharsis along.)
