BTW, Deb, I hope to have some comments to you sometime this weekend.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
b.org ate my post:
Deb, I'm so excited for your book! I looked at Amazon yesterday to see if any more reviews were up; I can't wait to see what people say!
Whoooo you!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Weet! Go, best seller! Choose, best seller!
Manoman. Plus I want to finish Matty Groves and get the sucker out in full final form to beta readers everywhere.

OK, since no one ran away screaming at the first one....

Too many time you wander,
searching the night for the right --
the right boy, the right plan, the right excuse.
And sometimes you find all three.
Lucky you.
But I hear you searching in the night,
sounding your cry, shrill and plaintive,
over the clamor of the crowd,
and I am appalled by your naivte and boldness.
But I don't want to shelter you.
I want to watch you seek, and crash and burn, and rise.
Because then I don't have to.

OK, there's something - damn. I can't analyse; I refuse.
But I can try this, Erin, and please tell me sod off and shut the fuck up if not?

Because that way?
I don't have to.
(There's just something - something in the pauses, or the breaths.)

No, no. No sodding off, here.
I pondered (god, how pretentious!) the crash and burn line, too.
I do like the irony in dropping, the "rise" line - that's good.
Hrm.

Deb, I did a review, but it wouldn't let me say what should be purchased with it. Right now it recommends Sunshine, which isn't really a bad choice, though not thematic or even similar in style. I did like them both. Fewer narrative problems in Weaver, though.

Good reference, Betsy. I only read the link page, but it seemed very good to me.
