Jesus, Liese.
One question, though - can "hence" be past tense?
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Huh. I dunno. Merriam Webster says no. So I wonder what I mean. I'll just make it "ago" I think.

That's what I thought - "hence" is future tense. Works nicely with "ago", though, the drabble does. It's insanely powerful.
I have a completed MS of "Matty Groves" at Kinkos, being copied. Tomorrow, it goes to agent. Go me!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Thanks. This is the drabble I've been trying to write since the damn thing launched. Every topic I've looked at an angle to write it from. Didn't come out until Sunday.
Go you! Yay for Matty Groves! Yay for beating deadlines! Yay for Kinko's! Yay for you!

Next up: my "what feeds on vampires?" novel. Good to be working with a science writer, since I now have the hard science I need for it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So fun. And a change of pace for you, too, eh?

Congratulations, Deb! The new piece was the grating of bitter chocolate over the well crafted whole, yes?
And I can't wait to read what feeds on vampires.
Actually, someone made a comment, here or in LJ, that made me want to reread your Giles fic, the long one, and I can't find it, and worse, I can't remember the title. Help?

Definitely a change of pace for me.
Bev, there were two, "The Pensioner" and its prequel, "Needfire". I can send them, when I wake up, because I've actually been asleep on the sofa and am now about to take some serious, serious pain meds.

Both, please. I have hard copies, but I can't find them and I want to read them soon. Thank you.

Whoot! Found Needfire! No need to send. Still looking for The Pensioner.
