As did that sentence.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

"Surreally factual" is my new favorite phrase EVAR.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Mostly I just move around the suck, sweeping it into the metaphorical corners and under the rug.
