Because of the conversation in Natter, all I can think of when I read "Four Clowns of the Apocalypse" is Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rice.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think my clown story is going to be unremittingly dark. I'm in the mood for dark.
It's a story about the apocalypse. It better be dark.
Oh, who am I kidding. Like Good Omens was dark.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Susan, I've read more than enough Regencies to know the basics, and I haven't read the earlier version of your novel. A Word attachment to my profile address is fine, if you want to send it my way.
Thanks, Dani! Insent to your profile address.

Deb, if you need another beta reader for your clown story, I would love to read it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
sj, will send in the morning. I'm reeling right now. Exhaustion, big time.

OK. Sleep well, Deb.

Thanks, sweetie. I managed to severely blister both hands and pull tendons in both of them, getting outrageously energetic with the carpet shampooing machine. That'll larn me.
But clowns in morning, when I'm awake and other computer is on.

Yikes. Take care of yourself.

sj, insent with clowns.
edit: and to Polter-Cow as well. Thanks, all. I think it's shaping up, and hopefully, despite the obvious nod to Bradbury's "Something Wicked...", it isn't too close. Besides, our writing styles are very different.
