I can't even.
"Rowling" and "Tolkein"
Who?
Nice, the way the pace of the piece has the words and the emotions just spilling out, tumbling over one another. The sense of urgency and panic and resignation all wrapping in one.
Wow, this was hard to type (accurately). I'm fried by the stress everyone else here at work is infecting me with. I need alcohol and probably pizza.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Jeepers, lisah. That's intense.
I just did a nice 40-minute over the phone talk with the Shrewsbury Library. I think she said there were about ten people there, and they asked good intelligent questions, and we had a ball. It's possible (ya think?) that I talked too much, but luckily, I'm a very entertaining talker.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No idea. Never heard of her til I saw the link at Whedonesque.

Punishingly Intricate
Allyson, at a quick glance that book seems very different from the one you're trying to write. It calls itself a "resource" guide. Besides, there's room on the shelf!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Allyson, don't be crushed. This may be an okay book, but it definitely won't be the same thing as yours, and yours is funny, and intimate, and touching, and very well-written. And as lisah says, room on the shelf.

Never heard of her
Ditto.
I'm crushed.
Well, since the world will receive her book with a hearty "whatever, I'm dying to read Allyson's book", I'm hoping you can still type in your crushed state. Or, y'know, bounce back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As the book is meant to be a resource guide, it includes many how-to's on some of these subjects as well as website links.
Not at all similar, Allyson.
And I just have to say that all of those "lie" drabbles are killer. Gutwrenching.
