Susan, I'd be happy to read it. You can send it to either address. You want the most feedback on the setup page, yes?
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Insent, AmyLiz and lisah. I'm not sure I want the most feedback on the setup page, just more than one measly page would normally get!
After that 45-second pitch experience, I never thought it would be so hard to do a one-page setup of less than half (in Anna's case, a whole lot less than half) of a novel. But it is, especially since you have to do the character and conflict stuff you'd put in a pitch, plus enough setting and backstory that the reader will know where the hell they are when they start reading the scene itself.

Sorry, Susan -- I was reading with one eye and watching the baby attack the video cabinet with the other and assumed this was from Lucy, and therefore the kiss scene I'd already read. But it's Anna, so a new kiss. Yay!
Smacking forehead... And I just read the email and saw it's both books. Cool.

There's nothing you can do.
The starving child on the television. The front-page photograph of the father in agony, clutching his dead son. The woman with dull eyes like holes poked into her head, standing before a pile of skulls and femurs. The bombs, the guns, the sirens, the broken glass.
You can't expect to fix these problems.
The man lying on the sidewalk next to an empty cup, slat-ribbed dog panting beside him. The teenager riding the bus, baby on her lap. The toddler with a windbreaker and no mitts.
It won't make a difference anyways. Just don't look.

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

wrod. I'm getting no love from my project today and KFKD is telling me it's because I'm boring and helpless and don't know anything and maybe have stupid hair.I wrote a whole page on how I hate myself, though. Too bad grunge is dead.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

As long as one true believer clutches a "Nevermind" CD in their unclensed hands, grunge will live forever...

I could've been a big star at that.

The status is NOT quo.
Dani's drabble is amazing.
