Brynn, congratulations! Unfortunatly for some reason my computer will not allow me to view the current issue so I cannot give you an opinion on which piece to choose. Best of luck.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Deb,
Thank you. I was leaning towards that one as well. I think it's a little more cryptic then Unwritten, but what the hey, it's a bookish audience right? For the new piece, I was leaning toward reading the haikus again... Although is it a faux-pas to read something(non-published) more than once?

It's in Adobe Acrobat form... Do you have it on your computer? Even if you do, it could be that the site -relatively new in that it was totally revamped- has still got some kinks to work out. Thank you for trying though.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Why a faux-pas? Best way to get them published.

No. Sorry, wish I could have helped.

Brynn, I agree with Deb. Unwritten is good, but it doesn't have quite the air of mystery that Lucid has. It's got layers. Beat's a nice way to put it.
Insent with the story you e-mailed me yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't get it to you sooner.
sj, I still owe you yours. Sorry. Things have been awfully hectic lately.
I'm really going to try to sleep now. Goodnight all.

Bow before me, for I am Susan the Word Slayer.
I'm, oh, a sixth or a seventh of the way through my manuscript on my first editing pass, and I've already cut over 2,000 words!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Wow, Susan, that's fantastic!

Well, it helped when I asked myself why in hell I'd felt the need to introduce and give a personality to the housemaid who plays lady's maid to the heroine at the house party where most of the action takes place when she has absolutely no relevance to the plot. I cut two pages in one fell swoop without losing a bit of plot or characterization.
