Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

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?

and rise.

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.

If I only had a brain...

A friendly person over at NaNoWrimo gave me this link:

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.

Who? moi??

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Deena, I may have missed a step. Your review is up but mine isn't--and it didn't offer me the options of books to choose with Weaver. Did I do something wrong?

Should I go back to Amazon and try to post it again, you think?

Beverly, if mine is up, that's new. They take a bit to review it, and they didn't offer me the opportunity of suggesting something to go with it either, so everything's probably fine.

Okay, I may have stuck my foot in it, because I posted it again. Oh well. We'll see what transpires.
