To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Inspiration-ma, Victor.
Well timed. It's finished.
It needs an editing. It needs to be reworked. It's still bloody and bruised, but it's done.
Thanks everyone, for your support. Would never have gotten through it without you.
Dear God. The hard part starts now, doesn't it?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
The next hard part, but you've got the first hard part behind you.
YAY!!!!!

Thank God. Thesaly's out, so I went and wrung up a novelist friend of mine on the West Coast, just so I could tell someone. She's laughing at me, but she doesn't think I'm crazy.

Congratulations on finishing it, Victor! Good luck with editing it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Go get 'em, Victor. It's a good feeling, innit?

Never felt anything quite like it, honestly. I mean, I've finished literally thousands of poems, articles, essays and short stories, but this... Man.
And I was seriously choked up when I had to do bad things to good characters.

I'm doing a panel at BayCon called "Fun Ways to Kill Your Characters." I think I'm seriously going to scare them; the ghost in "Famous Flower" burned alive, one of the characters is frightened into a heart attack...

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Congratulations, Victor!
In mememe news, I did a reading at my church's annual arts festival yesterday afternoon, and discovered that reading my own work is more like public speaking than like performance. IOW, I get nervous while doing it, even before a very small and friendly audience, while I can do things like perform in plays or sing solos before hundreds of people without the slightest stage fright.

Heh. Most everyone in Nihilist Chic that goes goes pretty violently, but at least a couple of them got off their "Fuck yous" pretty well. Karen's dad's death made me happy. Which, really, doesn't reflect well on me.
