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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nilly, thank you for the last line. This has happened before and I need to find out what to do to fix it, so it doesn't happen again.
Deena, it's going to stay with me, you know. Those visual flashes, images that made a sharp impression, like bits of dreams remembered.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Beverly, thank you. You have made me absolutely gleeful! I love writing this kind of stuff and you have melted me into a puddle of gleeful goo with your reaction.
I've reposted it with some corrections, the title, and a dedication: For ita
I don't promise anything, but I do write better to assignment if anyone else is interested in a story of something mythic with a twist.
Thank you, ita, for giving me the idea. I feel so brilliant today! *g*

BTW, I posted my long, ex-P'thology story in my LJ.

Hi, I just wanted to post a quick thank you to Deb G. for all her help with editing (I would email, but Bremen doesn't seem to like my email server and it keeps deleting everything I send) Anyway I came out of the CW class with an A, and Deb, without your editing I'm not sure I would have.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Whoo-hoo! Brynn, rock on.

Deb: Yeah, you go to Germany and then all the good news just-a-flows on in. Yesterday I got my CW mark via email (it seems I can receive, it's sending email that's a problem) and I learned a few days before that that I am going to be featured in the U of W (University of Winnipeg) Journal of Creative Writing Juice again this year (volume III) which is really exciting. They're actually publishing two of my pieces which is totally unexpected.. And poems at that! Things like this can inflate a girl's ego. Then again, since getting here I've discovered my German skills are not nearly as up to par as I imagined, so I could use a bit of validation.

Brynn, that's all seriously fine news. Other than the German language skills being at the reasy, that is, but those tend to shape up quickly with use. My French turns into algae in the US, because I'm not being forced to speak it in shops and whatnot.
Will you link the journal when the pieces come out? So cool.

Deb: Yeah the German has been getting easier, mostly I am just disappointed with my Intermediate German class, because it was sort of a joke. I feel it didn't prepare me any more than my Elementary German. It's a damn good thing I should such a fine prof for the EG class otherwise I would be lost. Okay I'm stopping the natter NOW: Anyway, I will certainly link the Journal here (I do believe it will be published online!). The Juice (which came out before I was attending the U of W) is online, as for the second (in which I have a short story) it hasn't made it up yet as far as I know. Juice III will be launched late September 2003.
