I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Thank you, thank you. More, really? Maybe sometime. It was written for a rather specific situation, but possibly...maybe for a market with less timid language standards.I'm just glad I didn't forget until 5 like last year, and that it wasn't a short-short. (I knew all those drabbles would help one day.If nothing else, they've taught me what to cut.)

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

This:

“You must be incredibly depressed.”she said, and Markowitz thought he could hear a twinkle in her eye.

made me extremely happy.

That's lovely Erika. It made me happy.

I want a whole novel of her.

Really? So glad I didn't cut it. Because I thought about it, as I thought that the metaphor was a little too mixed up. And y'all do understand that when I write that the captain was depicted *with* a goat, I meant porn, right? I was trying to be a little delicate, just in case.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think if a goat's mentioned anywhere, porn is kind of understood.

Dude, if a goat was photoshopped? The porrn is implicit.

Cool... Deena, that's flattering, but right now I think I'm a big thief. I just steal from stuff you don't know, so it looks like originality...I'll find out in a month if crime pays. OTOH, I know they have trouble writing women on "The Wire". If that did happen, it might just be the bait I could use.:)

Partially, I had to use my "other" home town because leaves don't change in any significant way around here. Occasionally somebody has an ash or something where the leaves turn yellow and then you think "What's that about? Oh, fall. Right."

OK. This isn't working. Anyone willing to take a look at my synopses and suggest ways to pare them down to the desired length?
