That reminds me, if anyone would like a copy of Bird by Bird, I'm looking to unload one.

Cool. An overenthustiastic purge of my collection. I hate it when that happens.

I feel like such a writer, I was going over the V!Giles stuff, came up against the laying/lying verb thing, then glanced at the shelf of writing books and actually pulled one down to use. I've read them all in a general way for info and inspiration, but I'm finally using them as tools.
I must have about a dozen books on writing now. They make me happy.

I'm thinking of calling this Exaltation Remembered

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Deena, it's marvelous! I'm awed, truly. It's very sensual, not just visual but every sense. There's a ruined innocence, a joyous sensuality tainted with the ebbing knowledge of wonders lost, which makes your title very appropriate.
I'm also pissed, because my stupid computer cuts off everything after
"Lili?
"Yes, Eve?"
"Do you still love me?"
and I can't figure out how to read the rest. Help?

Beverly, whitefonted last line:
Lili flashed a fierce grin over her shoulder. "I will until my dying day," and she was gone.
Haven't read it yet (not even the last line that I posted - the advantages of English not being my mother tongue), but bookmarked it for later.

Yeah, that looks like the end there, and a very good end indeed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Score!!!!
Sorry.
It is truly a lovely thing to want a story ... and then get the story.
Thank you SO much, Deena. That was beautiful.
