I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

After a long absence, guess who's back?

Suddenly the young woman found herself in a state of disconcerting confusion given that the reverie she just experienced seemed surreally factual.

Always Anti-fascist!

As did that sentence.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

"Surreally factual" is my new favorite phrase EVAR.

I believe this bit comes in between the "It's a Wonderful Life"-type dream, and the part where she sees the ghost of a woman who was Michael's wife in another lifetime, so...things do start to seem surrealy factual by that point.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The draft of my Yuletide story is done. Now all I need to do is remove all the suck.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, would that life were that easy.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

There was no suck!

The thing is, in my first drafts? You remove the suck and what you have left is fishing net.

You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that.

With my first drafts, I usually end up keeping about 75% of what's there, but what's there almost always winds up getting rearranged.

Ha. Draft.
