Geez, deb. You're makin' me cry.
This?
his scars, his survival
Is exactly how I view my huge neck scar. And why I dig it.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
It really took some doing, to make him understand that I thought his scars were beautiful.

Does it ever stop feeling like fic? Cause now, I'm not straight-up ficcing as such, but it feels like I'm ficcing different people now. Lehane, David Simon, Sue Grafton, well, it still feels like doing impressions.Maybe I have to keep it that way to avoid that "What if I clutch and my dreams crash and burn?" thing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, "desserts" was wordplay. Words are fun to play with.
And everyone's doing great stuff.

Hey. New board.
I pace the hallways, back and forth, my dress shoes scuffing the tiled school floor. Rehearse the words I know so well, the phrases I wrote to interest, to impress.
The student before me leaves the room, relieved to be done but annoyed at his gaffs.
A sneak peek in the window, to look at the judges, judging my predecessor as they will judge me.
I shiver. I moan. I wait.
The door opens, "We're ready when you are," and the butterfies in my stomach threaten to escape out my mouth as I smile, shake hands, and prepare to speak.

I just got my first form rejection letter (from an agent). It hurts a lot more than the personalized kind.
