Tell me about it. I just made a "hey Feds" disclaimer over in Natter just in case they're not aware that all those weapons I'm looking up aren't exactly what you'd call state-of-the-art for any time after the Napoleonic Wars.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeesh. That's upsetting. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to do the "break down Echelon by sending email with all the trigger words in it" day.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Man, someone want to pass me shredded documents for decorative use on my tinfoil hat?

they were very excited about the fact she owned the Writer's Digest "Scene of the Crime" series.
Yep, there's my copy, sitting on my writing book shelf. Bought at a used book store. But I've checked it out of the library several times, along with the police procedurals copy from the How Dunnit series. Odd how the firearms volume is never checked in ...

First not-quite-thousand words (800-plus) done on "Gravekeeper". Going to beg for betas; I want to see if the man himself, and the town (fictional) are vivid.
Anyone?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Me. I'll get back to you early tomorrow.
Sitting here teeth chattering about Susan's post. Dammit.

Deb, I know I haven't done the beta thing before, but if you're still looking, I'd love to! Will likely be going to bed soon, but can do lots tommorrow.

Scary, isn't it? Sending. Just need to know about initial scene and character setting-ups. You know the drill.

Lilty, sending to profile addy. This is unedited; I just need to know, is it set up to hook a reader? Interest level? Etc. No real meat on the story yet; that comes in the next thousand words.

Yay! This, I can do. Will get back to you after lucid-making morning coffee tommorrow.
